Below is a list of a few recommended lodging accommodations as well as some general travel information. We really hope that if you have decided to join us in this celebration that you can make the most out of it, maybe even take an extra day off of work to get a round of golf in or tour the Finger Lakes wine region, home to an unbelievable bottle of Riesling.
If you have any questions, ANY, during the planning process, please call either of us and we will do our best to point you in the right direction. These are just a FEW recommendations as there are always many other options out there.
Thank you so much and we can't wait to see you in May!
-Danielle and Blake

Located only two and a half hours away from both Boston and New York City, the Capital Region is serviced by the Albany International Airport (ALB), the Albany/Renneslaer Amtrak Train Station, as well as numerous major interstate highways and thruways. With wedding weekend travel required, we recommend a car rental as well, though call the two of us before booking to see if we can help arrange some transportation.
