Welcome Gathering
Ceremony & Reception
Farewell Coffee
Friday evening at seven o'clock. Local cider, small plates, and casual hellos around the outdoor fire pit at Dutch's Spirits tavern.
Saturday afternoon at four o'clock sharp. Vows on the lawn followed immediately by cocktails, family-style dinner, and dancing inside the main barn.
Sunday morning from ten until noon. Fresh drip coffee, morning pastries, and easy goodbyes on the garden terrace before departing.
Travel and Accommodations
Pine Plains sits two hours north of New York City and thirty minutes east of the Hudson Amtrak station.
The Stissing Barns
The Rhinebeck Inn
Cocktail Attire
Located at 78 Lake Gallatin Road. Onsite gravel parking is attended, though scheduled shuttles will run continuously from the Rhinebeck Inn.
We have reserved twenty guest rooms under Chen-Vance through August 1. Alternative historic boutique rentals are available throughout central Dutchess County.
Suits and midi or floor-length dresses are encouraged. Portions of cocktails take place across outdoor grass lawns, so block heels are strongly suggested.
The greatest gift is bringing our favorite people into one quiet valley for a long autumn evening of dinner, music, and shared conversation.
Elena and Marcus
Please let us know your travel plans by Saturday, August 1, 2025 so we can finalize table seating and dietary provisions with our caterer.
