Black tie means formal evening wear, but you don’t have to wear black! For men, it typically means a tuxedo with a black bow tie. For women, it means a floor-length gown or a formal cocktail dress. Think elegant fabrics, classic styles, and dressy accessories. Avoid casual outfits like sundresses, suits, or sneakers — this is a dressy occasion meant to feel special.

We’re truly honored that you’d want to capture this special moment to remember forever. However, we kindly ask that you keep phones and cameras tucked away during the ceremony. We’d love for our photos to reflect the joy on your faces — not a sea of screens. We’ve hired a wonderful photographer to capture every detail, and we can’t wait to share those memories with you afterward!

Cocktail hour is the time between the ceremony and the reception where guests can relax, mingle, and enjoy drinks and light appetizers while the wedding party takes photos. It’s a chance to catch up with friends and family, grab a bite, and get in the celebration mood! No need to bring a gift or prepare anything — just enjoy yourself, grab a drink, and soak in the good vibes.

We truly wish we could invite everyone, but due to venue capacity and our desire to keep things more intimate, we’re only able to offer plus-ones to a few guests. If your invitation includes a plus-one, it will be listed by name or say “+ guest.” If it’s not mentioned, we kindly ask that you come solo — we’re so excited to celebrate with you and appreciate your understanding!

Yes, children are welcome! That said, if your little one gets upset during the ceremony, we kindly ask that you step away to comfort them. We’ll have a videographer capturing the moment, and we’d love for the focus to stay on the vows. Thank you for helping us keep the ceremony peaceful and memorable for everyone!
