What should I wear?
We first and foremost want you to be comfortable. But if our dads are being asked to give up their sweatpants for an evening (and we applaud them for doing so), we’d appreciate it if you did, too. Otherwise, we’ll hear about it for the rest of time…
We expect most guests will wear cocktail attire, but please feel free to interpret that as you wish.
The Barn is not temperature controlled, so we are slightly at the mercy of the weather. Historically, the average temperatures in mid-September have been 50°F/69°F, so we are hoping for a crisp, cool evening.
TL/DR: Shoot for cocktail attire, but please feel free to take some liberties. Wear comfortable shoes. Check the weather.
By When should I RSVP?
Please kindly RSVP by July 15th.
Are Children Invited?
It pains us to say that this party is for adults only. We know this might be an inconvenience for some, and are very sorry.
What else is there to do around here?
If you’re looking to flesh out your weekend, you’re in luck! Somerset has some great nearby options:
-
Ohiopyle State Park is about a 10 minutes drive from The Barn at Fallingwater, and about 30 minutes way from Seven Springs. It’s a great place to hike, bike, kayak, or white water raft.
-
Ligonier Country Market is one of the largest farmer’s markets in the area, a great way to spend a Saturday morning. You can grab coffee and breakfast at one of the various food trucks, and then trek up the street to the town’s, which gives Stars Hollow vibes. Pro-tip: When you’re done snagging a sweet treat from Scamps, pop into Joe’s taxidermy bar for a beer.
-
If you’re a fan of architecture, you might be interested to know that the area is home to several Frank Lloyd Wright houses, including Fallingwater and Polymath Park. Each location offers tours, although reservations are required.
-
The International Conservation Center, which is located on nearly 1,000 acres of rolling hills in Somerset, PA, is an extension of the Pittsburgh Zoo that provides the perfect landscape to focus on conservation science, wildlife management and recovery, and education. The animals that live here contribute to the preservation of their wild counterparts and help tell the story of hope and survival into the future. The ICC offers tours and encounters with elephants every Saturday. Reservations are required.

Can i visit Fallingwater While I'm Out here?
Yes! Fallingwater offers tours, but reservations are required. If you are interested, please let us know when you RSVP. If there is enough interest, we will schedule a group tour on Saturday.
How do I get to the wedding venue?
The Barn at Fallingwater is about 20 minutes away from Seven Springs, Hidden Valley, or Ohio Pyle. It’s about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Pittsburgh. You are welcome to drive to the The Barn, where there is a parking lot available for guests.
Can I Uber?
Short answer, no. Uber doesn’t quite exist out in Mill Run, so we are offering shuttle services to and from Seven Springs. If you don’t want to worry about driving, we highly suggest staying at The Slopeside Hotel at Seven Springs. We'll be offering shuttle service between Seven Springs and the celebration.

We first and foremost want you to be comfortable. But hey, if our dads are being asked to give up their sweatpants for an evening (and we applaud them for doing so), we’d appreciate it if you did, too. Otherwise, we’ll hear about it for the rest of time…
We expect most guests will wear cocktail attire, but please feel free to interpret that as you wish. Bill’s advice if you’d just like to be told, rather than having to google what cocktail attire is, “just wear a suit, and no I don’t care if you’re in a tie. Or a sport coat and some nice slacks, whatever I'm not your dad."

If you would prefer not to worry about transportation, we suggest either staying at the Slopeside Hotel or a rental property within Seven Springs. We will be arranging for shuttle buses to pick up and drop off guests at Seven Springs, which is approximately 30 minutes from our venue.
If you're not so worried about transportation, you can also check out rental properties within Hidden Valley, which is also about 30 minutes from our venue.
If you're into camping, you can always stay at Ohiopyle State Park, which is only 10 minutes away from our venue.
The reception will be held at The Barn at Fallingwater, which is about 30 minutes South of Seven Springs and Hidden Valley, on your way down to Ohiopyle. Click that link or plug it into Google maps, it’ll take you to the right spot.
Do note that it is not at Fallingwater itself, so, it’s important to get “The Barn” part in there. For yinzers, the venue is just about an hour and a half from dahntahn. For our out of town guests, it's about an hour and a half away from the airport.
For the reception, you are welcome to drive to the The Barn, where there is a parking lot available for guests, or take the shuttle from Seven Springs. More on that in a moment.
What’s the Uber/Lyft situation?
In short, it doesn’t exist. To help with that, we will have free shuttle services for our guests running to and from Seven Springs before and after the reception. If you don’t want to worry about driving, we would therefore highly suggest staying at The Slopeside Hotel at Seven Springs, or renting a house on Seven Springs property.
