Q + A

Where to park?

We have been given the generous gift of using our neighbors' yard for our guests to park. When you arrive, please follow the signage pulling into our next door neighbor's second driveway and follow our parking attendants instructions. They will direct you to drive all the way to the back field and neatly park in the old horse pasture.

What's the bathroom situation?

We have rented a luxury bathroom trailer and ask that all of our guests use this to go to the bathroom during the day of the wedding.

What if it rains?

We've rented a huge tent and plan to host our wedding whether it rains or shines! We'll have fun no matter what, but do understand if you can't make it due to inclemate weather.

Where to stay?

Please see the accommodations tab for hotel ideas in the area and be sure book your rooms as early as you can. This time of year is high season and books up quickly! Don't forget, there are plenty of Airbnb's in the area that may better suit your needs. Please feel free to reach out to us should you need help searching for homes in the area or would like a few suggestions sent your way.

Open bar?

Yes. Please plan to have a designated driver.

What's the attire?

We're looking forward to hosting a beautiful vintage garden soiree. (Not as Patrick would describe it- a backyard BBQ shindig, LOL.) It's likely going to be warm, so dress accordingly. Ladies, sandals are going to be your friend since we'll be on grass.

Can I bring the kids?

As much as we love your kiddos and would love to have them all here, we've made the difficult decision to limit those invited to our immediate families little's only. Cousins, please bring all your cuties along for the festivities! We will be sure to have some fun kid-friendly activities and a too-cool-for-school kids table for them to sit at with their fellow cousins! For dinner, they will be served a yummy boxed lunch and are welcome to join in on the family style dinner too, should they wish. Friends, we kindly ask that you get a babysitter for the night and come enjoy the festivities sans kids. Thank you for your understanding.

What's for dinner?

We are so excited to be having Ani's Table cooking for us on our wedding day. We are working closely with them to come up with creative, fresh and seasonal faire for our special day. We plan on having a variety of passed apps during our cocktail hour. For dinner, family style platters with Italianate/French farm to table fare will be served in flowing courses. We're so excited for our guests to come, relax and enjoy all the festivities!
