Elana & Seth’s Summer Solstice Wedding

A handmade wedding weekend,
built with the people we love.

We are so excited to be doing this with all of you. We're in it and getting close. Producing a wedding on your own land for all of your favorite people, weaving in every detail and dream we could imagine, is quite the endeavor.

This weekend is an exquisitely handmade affair, made possible by collaboration with our families and some of our dearest humans. Our deepest desire is for you to feel that magic in your bones. Here is everything you need to know.

A few things to know

This land holds a lot of people this weekend. Treat it like it's yours.

Getting here

Take an Uber, or park in the field at 23 Pinetree Lane — street parking if the field is full. 30 min from JFK and LGA. By train: LIRR to Mineola, Westbury, or Carle Place, then a 7–10 min Uber. Plan your trip →

Weather and what to wear

The gather will all happens outside or in party tents, on grass and uneven ground. We are anticipating bright blue skies but June out here can swing warm to cool and rain to shine. Dress for the farm and bring layers.

Check the local forecast

Poison ivy

There's poison ivy on parts of the property, mostly at tree lines and path edges. Stay on the path and you'll be fine. We're clearing what we can before you arrive.

Leaves of three, let it be.

Ticks

We've sprayed for ticks and will again before you arrive. Stay on the paths, avoid the woods, and check yourself at the end of the day. Bring bug spray.
