Technically 12:30am, we’ll see how the night goes if we end up adding on more time. Hard cutoff is 1am. We do not have established after-party plans. In all honesty, Amy has reached her limit with planning hahah

As much as we’d love to see all the kiddos, due to capacity limits, we can only invite children who are part of the wedding party. We're looking forward to having our guests relax and enjoy an evening of celebration—our wedding will be an adult-only event. We thank you all in advance for keeping this in mind!

Short answer: no During our unplugged ceremony, we ask that you let the professional photographers and videographer take care of things as you enjoy the moment in real time with us! We’d rather look back on the memories seeing your face instead of your phone :) You're welcome to take photos after the ceremony during cocktail hour and the reception.

Please let us know on your RSVP response and we will get the necessary accommodations set for you!
