In order to ensure we are all fully present, we will be having an "unplugged" ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture this special moment and we would be happy to send you any pictures upon request. During cocktail hour and the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like!

We have chosen to make our special day an ADULTS ONLY celebration, with exception of wedding party children, or if you live out of state!We ask if you live near by to leave kids with a sitter if possible due to limited capacity. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to join us for our big day! Your understanding means the world to us, and we can't wait to celebrate with you.

To accommodate all guests comfortably within the venue's capacity, we ask that only invited guests attend our wedding festivities. We truly appreciate your understanding!

We will have beer and wine provided, but you are welcome to bring whatever you please. No glass bottles!
