Wedding Plans!

Hello everyone –
First off – THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. We can’t tell you how much it means to us that you’re all going to part of our big day! I thought I would post some details for all of you who are wondering where this whole ‘shindig’ (as we say in the country) will be. Check out this map to see where you'll be in NY. The picture below is Sackets Harbor - that's where the reception and hotel are! You can find pictures of the church, reception area, and hotel in an earlier blog post 'Wedding Mania.'
Quick Travel Info:
Wedding date: June 05, 2010
Church: St Mary’s Catholic Church in Copenhagen, NY
Reception: The Boathouse (restaurant on Lake Ontario, in Sackets Harbor)
Hotel: Ontario Place Hotel in Sackets Harbor 315-646-8000 or 1-800-564-1812
Reservations: Under the Furgison/McEwen Wedding
Room rates: Range from $90-120 a night
Airport: Syracuse Airport (SYR)

Travel Info:
If you’re flying, you’ll need to fly into the Syracuse Airport. It's a small airport. There are no direct flights from MN, so expect a layover somewhere. The airport is about an hour and half away from the hotel. Depending on everyone’s plans, we should be able to pick you up at the airport. If we can help you avoid the expense of renting a car we certainly will. That said I know a lot of you will be either visiting family or are close enough to drive. If that’s the case, you can just check into the hotel in Sackets Harbor at 103 General Smith Drive, Sackets Harbor, New York 13685.

Hotel:
I would book your room as soon as possible at The Ontario Place Hotel. It's a smaller hotel, with only 40 rooms. The wedding party and close family will have first crack at the rooms. The hotel is within stumbling distance of the reception, so it should work out nicely. The phone number to the hotel is 315-646-8000 or 1-800-564-1812. The rooms range in prices from $90- 120. Most of the rooms are standard rooms around $90. Just ask for the rooms under the McEwen/Furgison wedding. Check in time is 3pm, checkout is 11am.

When to arrive:
If you want a ride from the airport, you should fly in Thursday night. But at the latest, everyone should be checked into the hotel by Friday afternoon (June 4). Check in is at 3, we’ll have the rehearsal in the evening and then have a little BBQ at my folks house for dinner. **And of course, everyone’s significant other is more than welcome to come along for all of this.**

Wedding day:
Saturday June 05
The wedding will be around 1 (1 or 1:30 we haven't decided) and the reception starts at 4. That morning the girls will obviously be off doing their thing...hair, makeup, etc. The girls will get ready at my folks house and probably have a limo take us from there to the church. The guys...well it's up to you what you do with your morning. I'm sure Jason will have some crazy idea - like frisbee golfing in mind lol. We'll be sure to have enough vehicles at the hotel to get everyone to the church on time. After that – we get the party started!!!! We don't want too much waiting around - we want everyone to enjoy themselves. Dinner is a buffet, and there will be an open bar from 4-9. Around sunset the wedding party and family will sneak out to the lake for a few more pictures.

Recovery day:
The day after the wedding, Jason and I will be around to get folks to the airport if needed. Keep in mind when booking flights it is an hour and half drive from the hotel to the airport.

Sackets Harbor:
The reception/hotel area is a cool little spot to visit – so if anyone is thinking about coming a little early and doing some sightseeing let us know and we’ll direct you to a few spots!! Here’s a link for Sackets Harbor.

Your plans:
When you guys get a second shoot us an email with your plans!

We’ll help in any way we can! Lisa: lfurgison@twelve.tv Jason: pepecase05@yahoo.com
