Accommodation Update

Please make your reservations soon! It is a busy weekend in Alex Bay because it is not only biker weekend, but at least three other weddings are taking place in the town.

The following hotels still have rooms available:

Edgewood Resort: (315)482-9923

RiverEdge Hotel: (800)365-6987

Otter Creek Motel: (315)482-5248. Please mention Roden/Phillips wedding when calling this motel.

In Clayton:
Fair Wind Motel: (315)686-5251

There are more hotels that we recommended that may still have space. Please call them for availability.

Wedding Attire

The wedding will be outdoors. We do have use of the Casa Blanca house for the afternoon and dinner and dancing will be in a tent on the back lawn.

Jackets are optional for men. Women who plan to wear heels need to take walking on grass throughout afternoon into account.

Shuttle Information for Cherry Island

Since Casa-Blanca is located on Cherry Island, we will have 1 shuttle out to the island before the ceremony and the shuttle will take everyone back after the reception. The shuttle will leave and return at the docks located directly in front of Captain Thompson's Resort. Riveredge is short walk and if you stay in Edgewater you will need to drive to the community parking lot that is located near the docks and leave your car in the lot.

Passport / Enhanced Drivers License

It looks like you can either have a Passport or and EDL (Enhanced Drivers License) to cross the border.
