What precautions are being taken around COVID-19?

The safety of all of our guests is extremely important to us. We have asked all of our guests about their vaccination status, and all guests have received a COVID-19 vaccine prior to the wedding date. Our wedding ceremony is outside, our cocktail hour is outside, and dinner will take place in a tent with open sides as well. If there is rain during the ceremony, the ceremony will also take place in the tent with open sides. Dancing after dinner will take place indoors, but masks will be provided for this portion of the evening. We continue to follow the latest CDC guidelines and will continue to update the answer to this question as guidance changes. We are collecting everyone's emails during the RSVP process in case any changes with local regulations prohibit us from having a gathering above a certain size. Our hotel rooms can all be canceled free of charge 72 hrs in advance of your stay and we highly recommend booking travel options that are easy to refund just in case.

Have all guests received their COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes! We have asked all of our guests whether or not they have received the COVID-19 vaccine, and we are pleased to say that everyone who is attending the wedding has received a COVID-19 vaccine. Everyone's safety is extremely important to us.

How do I RSVP?

Please click the RSVP link above and enter in the name (first and last) from your invitation (note this might be a more formal name than what we normally refer to you as). If you have any trouble, please give us a call and we can help guide you through it.

Are kids allowed at the ceremony/reception?

Due to restrictions at our venue, children under the age of 16 are not invited. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the evening off!

Can I bring a plus one?

We are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We look forward to celebrating with you on the day!
