What should I wear?

We would like our guests to be in DRESSY CASUAL attire. No jeans please!!!

How do I know if my kids are invited?

If your invitation is written out to *your last name* followed by and "family", then you and your kids are invited to the special day! Additionally, each child's name is listed on the online RSVP.

Do I get a plus one?

If your invitation says your name "and guest" you get a plus one! You will have the option to RSVP for you and your plus one. Please include the guest's name for seating chart!

Are the ceremony & reception at the same place?

Yes! Ceremony, Cocktail hours, and Reception will all be at the Pear Tree Estate. There is plenty of parking at the venue, but please plan accordingly if you need to designate a driver.

Is the ceremony outside?

Nope! The ceremony and reception are both indoors. We will be having a cocktail hour with the option to be outside on the patio, so dress accordingly if you plan to attend the cocktail hour.

What do we do between the ceremony and reception?

All guests are invited to a cocktail hour at 5 PM, and the reception will begin at 6:00 PM.

Will there be an open bar?

Yes! The bar will be open during a cocktail hour prior to the reception, and will stay open until the end of the reception.

Where should I stay if I am coming from out of town?

Please click the "Travel" link on this website where hotel recommendations are provided.

Will there be transportation from the hotel to the The Pear Tree Estate?

Yes!! We have arranged for a shuttle service that will shuttle from The Hyatt Place to The Pear Tree Estate. Shuttle services will start about 1 hour prior to the ceremony and will resume from 9P-12A, after the reception.

How do I know if I am invited to both the ceremony and reception?

Unfortunately, the chapel where we will be married has limited seating. Therefore, some guests have been invited to the cocktail hour and reception only. If your invitation says 5 PM for a start time, that means you have been invited to the cocktail hour & reception - we will see you after the ceremony!
