Can I RSVP online or do I have to mail in an RSVP card?
We invite you to RSVP online here or by mailing in the RSVP card sent with your invitation.
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our ceremony will be outdoors by the waterfront, while cocktail hour and the reception will take place indoors. Guests will walk to the waterfront on grass, although there is golf cart transportation to and from the parking lot, ceremony site, and reception site. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.
Am I allowed to bring a plus-one?
Due to limited numbers in our guest count, we are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding, as we'd like to keep the guests list just to those who know us well. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.
Will there be an open bar?
We will be serving beer and wine for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception, however, we do recommend bringing cash along. We will be providing a set amount of alcohol for the evening and once that limit has been reached, it will become a cash bar.
What time will your wedding reception end?
Our reception will end around 10:00, with a fake exit around 8:30-9:00.
Will there be a time gap between your wedding ceremony and reception?
A 60-minute cocktail hour will take place on the patio of the reception barn between the ceremony and reception where you can enjoy beer, wine, small bites and lawn games.
Am I allowed to take photos at your ceremony?
We kindly ask that you keep our ceremony "unplugged" and refrain from taking any photos or videos. We want our guests to truly be in the moment with us during this special day.
We have hired a photographer to capture all the special moments throughout the most important day to us!
