Unfortunately, rideshares like Uber and Lyft are few and far between in this area, we recommend a car rental.

Yes! Parking is free of charge and only a short walk from the ceremony location.

The wedding is outdoors. The ceremony site is made out of robust and mostly flat paver stones, but the surrounding areas can be gravel road or packed dirt pathways through the garden. If you are planning on wearing heels, we recommend looking into "heel-stoppers" which prevent your heel from sinking into softer ground.

The reception area is a short walk away under semi permanent tents with laid brick.

Semi-Formal Attire: (don't wear Jeans or sneakers)

Men: suit or blazer with dress pants, and a tie is recommended but not required

Women: a knee or mid length dress, a suit, or a two piece outfit.

Currently, the weather is projected to be in the high 60's to low 70's on June 10th. June is a fairly dry month for this area, so it is unlikely to rain, but we will be keeping an eye on the weather as we get closes to the date.

We have talked to most everyone about a plus one or bringing children already, but if we have forgotten you in our flurry of planning, please reach out to us before May 14th!

No. There will be Champagne for the toasts as well as sparkling cider for anyone who avoids alcohol or is not old enough to drink, but there will be no other alcoholic drinks available.

After 7 years together, Astacia and I have most everything we could need or want. We would like to have a nice honeymoon (we are looking at doing an Alaskan Cruise!) and any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated! Our honey moon fund is set up on our website and you can contribute there.

If you do plan on bringing a physical gift, there will be a table at the reception for that kind of thing.
