We are closely monitoring all developments (yes, that includes Omnicron) and are taking all precautions recommended by health authorities and NY State to keep everyone healthy and safe during our wedding celebration. As such, for the safety of our loved ones, we are requiring all guests to verify full COVID-19 vaccination. You can send the proof of vaccinations to BenihanaWedding@gmail.com. If you are unable to get fully vaccinated before January 16th, we kindly request that you not attend in person. We will consider setting up a remote viewing option depending on the number of people that cannot attend live.

We are very excited that booster shots are now available for almost anyone who wants one! We strongly encourage everyone to get a booster shot before January 16th. As mentioned, we will be keeping a close eye on the situation and will make changes to guidance as needed. Thank you for your understanding and for helping keep our event as safe as possible for our loved ones!

As our wedding is taking place upstate during January, anticipate it will be quite chilly. Boots and warm parkas are recommended for daytime activities while formalwear such as long dresses with shawls and suits with jackets are recommended for the wedding celebration.

(We will have a boot & jacket check available for your convenience.)

Our cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing will all take place indoors. On the chance that we get a beautiful winter day, we may have the ceremony outdoors! Otherwise, this will also be indoors. We will update guests prior, but please plan for the weather accordingly.

Please RSVP to our website no later than December 10, 2021
