Travel & Stay
Our wedding is taking place at the Fontainebleau Inn in Alpine, New York. The Inn sits on Cayuta Lake, in the countryside between Ithaca and Watkins Glen.
Where to Stay
To give our guests the flexibility to stay in a range of places, we aren’t holding a room block. Here are a few spots our friends and family have stayed and loved. Airbnb and VRBO are great options too, especially for groups. We’re also offering a shuttle to and from the venue, with pickup and drop-off in downtown Ithaca.

Airports
Ithaca Tompkins (ITH) and Elmira Corning (ELM) are the closest airports to the venue. Syracuse (SYR) is farther out, about ninety minutes away, but it often has more flights and lower fares.
Getting Around
Downtown Ithaca, Trumansburg, and Watkins Glen are all walkable, but the surrounding area is rural, so you may want a car to explore or to travel to the venue and the welcome party. Ubers and rideshares can be hard to find.
Day-Of Shuttle
We’re planning a shuttle from downtown Ithaca to the Inn before the ceremony, with two trips back at the end of the night: one around 9:30 pm and one after the reception ends at 10:30 pm. We’ll post pickup times and stops here closer to the wedding.
