Travel & Hotel Arrangements

Fall is the peak tourist season in the Hudson Valley which is known for breathtaking views of leaf turning. We strongly encourage you to make your hotel reservations because of the Columbus Day weekend.

Getting There:
Washingtonville is located about an hour and a half north of New York City, and about twenty-five minutes from Stewart International Airport. Taxi fare from the airport should be about $35. Metronorth railroad also goes to Middletown. Take the Port Jervis line to the Middletown/ Wallkill stop. Taxi to the hotel from here is about $7.00. You can also choose to fly into one of the NYC airports and rent a car.

There will be a shuttle service to and from the Hampton Inn and the Marriott Courtyard and the wedding ceremony & reception.

Where to Stay:
We have made group reservations at hotels located in nearby Middletown, NY. The Wedding Party will be staying at the Courtyard Marriott (845-695-0606). We have blocked 20 rooms at this location at a rate of $154 double queen / $144 king. Across the parking lot is the slightly less expensive Hampton Inn (845-344-3400) with 20 rooms reserved at a group rate of $134.

A new Microtel hotel just opened in across the parking lot from the Marriott and Hampton Inn. The phone number is (845) 692-0098. Shuttle will be provided from this hotel as well.


If you are unable to get a room at the preferred hotels, we have made an overflow reservation at the Holiday Inn (845-343-1474). There will not be shuttle service to it but it is near the main hotels.

If you are interested in staying at a B&B or country inns in the area, email us and we will send you a list.

How We Met & Got Engaged

How we met:
J and Caroline met while volunteering at the deaf, blind, three legged dog infirmary at Coney Island. Just kidding, it is far less exciting than that. We've been dating for four years and recently left New York for New Haven, CT this summer following Caroline's graduation from B-School at NYU. J. is in his 1st year of his medical residency and Caroline is currently a traitor to NYU, working at Yale's Business School. When J is not at work, we enjoy life in the burbs with our two dogs, Sugar & Ziggy. We will be heading out west to San Francisco next summer for the next leg of J's residency in ophthalmology at UCSF.

How we got engaged:
We went on a day trip to upstate New York to see the foliage and get out of the city. I decided to surprise Caroline with a trip to a pumpkin patch since she loves Halloween so much.

It was there that I asked her to marry me. I think I said something like "You're every woman in the world to me. Even the days are brighter, when someone you loves beside you. Even the nights are better, since I found you".
