It’s not just our venue, it’s also a world-class contemporary art museum! We are happy to provide one day's free entry to our guests on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday of the wedding weekend — just tell the desk you’re part of the Samuels-Baker group.

gifts?

Gifts are by no means expected!

If you feel moved to mark the occasion, we’d be very touched by donations in our honor to any of the following organizations close to our hearts:

Trans relocation support fund of western mass

We feel very lucky to live in one of the safest and most supportive places for trans people in the country. TRSF helps trans people and their families move here from places where they no longer have basic rights.

Donate

Pioneer Valley Workers center

Of, by, and for Hispanic immigrants in low-paying jobs like farmwork and restaurants in our region. PVWC builds power through activist organizing, legal support, mutual aid, and more.

Donate

stone soup Cafe

EJ’s regular Saturday volunteer gig, a pay-what-you-can café and community store that never fails to restore faith in humanity!

FAQ

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP (either here or by mail) by July 15 so that we can make sure we have enough food and chairs for everyone :)

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The wedding will be entirely indoors within MASS MoCA's galleries.

Are children welcome?

Any children addressed specifically on your invitation are welcome to attend! Please keep in mind that the festivities may extend past bedtime.

How should I plan on getting from my hotel to MASS MoCA?

Both Porches and Hotel Downstreet are a short walk from MASS MoCA. We’ll also be running a continuous shuttle on a loop between each hotel and the museum throughout the night.

Can I bring a plus one?

If your invitation was addressed to your name ”and guest,” you are more than welcome to bring a friend! If you received an invitation with you and your family members’ names, the invitation is specifically for those named.

Can I change my RSVP?

Yes! Go to rsvp.michelleandej.com and enter your name as it appears on your invitation. You'll see the option to choose a different response for each event. Click, ”Confirm My RSVP,” and you're all set!

I have a dietary restriction! Will I be able to eat?

Our caterer for the wedding is Little Trúc, and we’re working with them to ensure that we have plenty of delicious options for everyone. If you have a dietary restriction, please note it in your RSVP so we can do our best to accommodate you. If you have a severe allergy, please let us know as soon as possible.

Are phones or pictures allowed during the ceremony?

We ask that all guests keep their phones silenced and stowed during the ceremony. Our wonderful photographer will be thoroughly covering the entire event, and we’ll be sure to share their photos as soon as we get them back.
