WHAT IF IT RAINS?

Wedding will be happening rain or shine! There is still a ton to do on the island in the rain – it’s special in every condition. The ceremony will be at Flynn’s in case of rain. The ferries run in the rain as well!



WHAT IF I'M NOT STAYING OVER?

We don’t expect everyone to spend the entire weekend in Fire Island – we are just happy to have you there to celebrate! If you are just attending Saturday’s ceremony and reception, there will be ferries running regularly back to Bay Shore (the mainland) and there will be late night ferry accommodations (past 11:30pm!) and late night water taxis can be organized as well if you do not make the last ferry.



HOW FAR IS THE BEACH CEREMONY FROM THE VENUE?

A 2-3 minute walk on the same street!
