Travel
You can fly into any New York City airport (LaGuardia, JFK, Newark), but LaGuardia Airport is the closest to the hotel (50 minute drive).
If you cannot get a direct flight into New York, you may find that you can fly into Westchester County Airport, which is much closer to Westport, for about the same price. From there, it's about a 25 minute drive by taxi or rideshare.
The easiest way to get to the hotel will be to take a taxi or Uber/Lyft from the airport. Alternatively, you could take a taxi to Grand Central Terminal and then take the Metro-North railroad directly to Norwalk. It is possible to take public transit entirely from the airport to Norwalk, but we do not recommend it.

Attire
For the wedding, cocktail attire is preferred. For more on what that means, here is a helpful guide. Ladies, block heels or sandals are recommended as the ceremony will be on grass. Gentlemen can wear either a suit or sport jacket.
