Limited, and that’s putting it generously. The Catskills are beautiful partly because they haven’t been paved over with cell towers. AT&T tends to perform best in the area; Verizon is hit or miss; others may be spotty to nonexistent. We’d recommend downloading anything you need offline before you arrive — maps, music, podcasts, whatever. WiFi is available on the property, so you’ll be connected once you’re there. Think of the drive as a chance to decompress.
Yes. Branches has WiFi available throughout the property. It’s a retreat venue and reasonably well-equipped for connectivity once you’re on site. We’ll share the network details closer to the wedding.
Yes. This is an adults-only weekend — no children, please. If your invitation was addressed to you and a spouse or partner, that’s who’s included. If you have any questions about this, just reach out directly.
On-site parking is available at Branches. Given the venue’s remote location and our strong recommendation to rent or carpool, parking on-site should not be an issue.
Branches is well-equipped for an active weekend in the Catskills. On the property you’ll find a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, tennis court, and paddle court. The surrounding land also offers hiking trails and fishing in the river. Pack accordingly — whether that means a swimsuit, a racket, hiking boots, or a fishing rod, there’s plenty to keep you busy between the festivities.
Nothing. The entire weekend — accommodations, all meals, the welcome braai on Friday, the wedding and reception on Saturday, and everything in between — is fully covered by Chandler and Sarah. You are our guests in every sense. The only costs you’re responsible for are getting there and back.
Guests are welcome to arrive from 3:00 PM on Thursday, September 24th, and we kindly ask that departures be by 12:00 PM on Monday, September 28th. Please include your travel details when you RSVP.
Just reach out. The best way is to email us at: Chandlerandsarah26@gmail.com. We’d rather you ask than wonder.
We do — though truly, your presence at this weekend is the only gift we need.
