AUGUST 21-23, 2026

Come celebrate with us in the woods.
There will be vows, pizza, lake air, bonfires, and many chances to look mysteriously well-dressed.

SPARTA, NEW JERSEY

Camp Sacajawea

The Venue

We'll be celebrating by our own private lake and among the trees, with plenty of room to eat, roam (200 acres!), and generally pretend we live in a much more enchanted version of reality.

A cozy little camp in the woods, which felt extremely correct for us.

The Weekend

FRIDAY, AUGUST 21

SATURDAY, AUGUST 22

SUNDAY, AUGUST 23

Settle In & Be Free

The Main Event

One Last Coffee Before We
Return To Civilization

Roll in, drop your bags, exhale dramatically, and join us for a relaxed evening by the lake.

  • Camp arrival + check in

  • Casual lakeside hanging out
    (bring your swimwear)

  • Bonfire, weather and chaos permitting

This is the big day: vows, food, drinks, celebration, and a few optional activities for anyone feeling adventorous.

4:00 PM

Reception begins

Artisan pizza custom made
on-premise, drinks, dessert,
and celebration.

Ceremony

5:00 PM

Afterwards

Optional archery, axe throwing, and bonfire lingering.

A slow final morning together before everyone heads home.

  • Breakfast and coffee

  • Lakeside loafing

  • Goodbyes, hugs, and suspiciously emotional pastry consumption

A full weekend of hanging out, getting married, and celebrating with our favorite people.

All events take place at camp. Come for the whole weekend or just the main celebration on Saturday — we don’t bite. Saturday comes with vows, pizza, and proper feeding; Friday and Sunday are more low-key, so please plan your own meals and snacks accordingly.

One Last Coffee Before We Return To Civilization

Coming from NYC?

You can absolutely make it here by public transit, and no, you do not need to cross a cursed mountain pass.

2. Continue with our shuttle to the Camp

We rented a shuttle to go between the Dover Railway station and the camp.

3. Enjoy the wedding

The shuttle leaves at 8:20, 9:20, and 10:20 (all pm).

1. Take the train to Dover

Take the MNE 6925 from Penn Station to to Dover at 1:12pm or 2:12pm. Takes about 1 hr 32 min.

4. Take the shuttle back to Dover

You are here! Yay! Drinks, Food, Axe Throwing (for real), Archery Range, Big Bonfire (and that's just the stuff we know for sure will be happening)...

5. Take the train to Penn Station

The last three trains leave at 9:05, 10:05, and 11:03 (all pm).

Where to stay

Want to come early, don't want to drive home afterward, or enjoy the premises longer?
All of these are within a 14-21-minute drive.
Except Camp Sacajawea, where you can just stumble into bunk.

Camp Sacajawea

Best for anyone who wants the easiest logistics and the full woods-weekend experience. Stay right in the camp and be in the middle of everything.

Definitely the most fun and unusual option.
(Please bring a sleeping bag).

The Ampersand Inn

Best for guests who want something charming and less standard. Located on a 14-acre estate and offers a 3-course breakfast. There are 5 rooms reserved until June 1st, so book fast.

Hilton Garden Inn

It's a Hilton Garden. Enough said. Closest to NYC and reachable via public transport. You will also be close to the shuttle on Saturday.

Crystal Springs

One for the high rollers. Fancy schmancy golf spa resort with six award-winning golf courses and a luxurious Reflections Spa and Biosphere.

Close to the Camp

Staying before and after the wedding in NYC?

Gifts

Your presence is the greatest gift, and we mean that sincerely.

But if you'd like to contribute something beyond your charming company, we'd gratefully welcome cash or a check — practical, timeless, and endlessly useful as we build our next chapter together. If you prefer to simply channel your energy into enthusiastic celebrating, that works beautifully too.

Questions, answered

What's the dress code?

Chic, but comfortable. Nice summer outfit? Perfect. Giant squirrel costume? Also perfect. Just remember, it’ll be late August, so choose your chaos wisely.

Are all weekend events open to everyone?

Yes. Friday hangout, Saturday celebration, and Sunday breakfast are all part of the invitation. Some activities are optional, but the general hanging out is very much encouraged.

Do I need a car?

Driving is the easiest option, but public transit is possible. You can take NJ Transit to Dover, then grab a rideshare or coordinate with other guests for the final stretch to camp.

Are the activities mandatory?

Not at all. You are welcome to throw axes, shoot arrows, sit near the lake, or simply exist in a charming and supportive way.

What should I bring?

Comfortable shoes, layers for the evening, and anything you need for a weekend in the woods. If you’re staying on site, we’ll share more specific camp-related details closer to the date.

A few useful details.

Is there parking?

Yes, there is parking on site. We’ll share any useful arrival details closer to the wedding so nobody has to freestyle it.

Can I come just for Saturday?

Yes. We’d love to have you for the whole weekend, but if Saturday is what works for you, that is absolutely fine too.

What food will be served?

We’ll have plenty of food, drinks, and celebratory sustenance, including custom artisan pizza made on premise. If you have dietary restrictions, please let us know when you RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

Is this kid-friendly & pet-friendly?

Yes. We’re happy to celebrate with your little woodland companions. Please note that there will be a liability waiver to sign.

Can I use the bonfire to summon demons?

No. That event is scheduled for a different weekend.

Why is there a bear on the left? Are there bears?

No. Although there are indeed bears in NJ, we don't expect any to show up. We just thought it was a cute picture.

Why is there a bear on the top? Are there bears?

No. Although there are indeed bears in NJ, we don't expect any to show up. We just thought it was a cute picture.
