Q + A

What time should I arrive at the ceremony

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30 pm, we recommend guests aim for 3:00 pm to ensure a great seat!

What is the dress code?

We would love to see our closest, friends and family get dressed up for our big day. The dress code for our wedding is strictly all-black. We are requesting all guests to wear semi-formal/ cocktail attire. Ladies should wear maxi to midi length dresses, and the gentleman should wear a suit and tie or a sports coat, or black slacks with a black shirt. No jeans, please!

What does "semi-formal wear" mean?

For men, they should wear a dark suit with a shirt and tie (black collared shirts are acceptable with no suit jacket). Women should wear a maxi or midi-length dress, knee-length cocktail dress, a pantsuit, or dressy separates. The wedding party will be dressed in formal wear, therefore courteous for the guests to reflect this level of formality in their own attire.

Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me to where?

The dress code is all-back (men may wear a black suit with a white shirt).

Can I bring a date?

Unless specified on your formal invitation, we ask that you do not bring a guest. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Are children welcome?

Unless specified on your formal invitation, to allow all wedding guests, including parents, a night of relaxation, we respectfully ask that no children attend. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Can I take photos and videos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that you do not have your phones or cameras out during our ceremony. Our photographer will be capturing the ceremony, and we do not want any phones in our photos.

Do I have to RSVP?

Yes. An RSVP is required for everyone, it is essential in planning for our ceremony seating, and reception meals. If we do not get an RSVP back by the date we provide, it will be marked as a "no".

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

The ceremony and reception will both be held at the Willow on Grand. The ceremony will be outside, along with cocktail hour. The reception will be held inside.
