When should I RSVP by?

Please RSVP no later than December 12.22.25 using the QR code/link on your formal invitation, or by clicking the RSVP tab in the menu above. If you do not RSVP in time, we will assume that you are unable to attend.

What should I do if I can’t make it?

You will definitely be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate ”Will Not Attend” on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP’d “Attending”, but find that you will not be able to make it, please notify Elise as soon as you are aware.

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Please arrive at Birchwood Vineyards between 3:00 p.m. and 3:20 p.m. to allow ample time for parking and getting seated before the procession begins at 3:30 p.m.

Is there parking at the wedding location?

Yes! There will be plenty of parking available at Birchwood Vineyards. There is a long parking lot on the right side of the venue as you pull in to the driveway.

What should I wear?

Our wedding dress code is Semi-Formal attire. We ask that men wear khakis or slacks with a nice button down and that women wear dresses or a nice alternative. Any length of dress is fine. Please note the ceremony and reception will be fully indoors. Please reference this Pinterest Board for outfit inspiration: https://pin.it/1C2OorvRb

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

We are so glad you’re excited to attend! We are trying to keep the guest list as intimate as possible, so the invitations are only for those addressed. We really appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Am I allowed to bring my children?

While we love to see children laugh and play, our wedding will be an adult only kind of day for both the ceremony and reception. This is to ensure that all guests, especially parents can fully immerse themselves in the joy of the occasion. 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.

Will there be vegetarian or gluten free options?

Yes! We will have a variety of options to meet everyone’s dietary needs. When submitting your RSVP, please indicate any allergies or dietary restrictions so we can plan accordingly.

Will there be an open bar?

At your seat there will be a single ticket which gives a “first drink on us” for people 21 years of age or older. After the ticket is cashed in at the bar, it will be a cash bar for the remainder of the night. There will also be a complimentary half-champagne pour (21+) for the toast to the bride and groom.

What time does the reception end?

We are planning for our reception to end at about 10:00pm, followed by a private last dance for the bride and groom and a sparkler send off at 10:10pm.

Will there be a time gap between your wedding ceremony and reception?

Yes, we will be having a cocktail hour with hors-d’oeuvres provided.

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Yes! During our ceremony we would love for you to be as present with us as possible. Although we understand wanting to get a few pictures of your own. All we ask is if you take some photos to share them with us using a QR code that will be provided so we can see everyone’s snapshots of our day :)

Can I post wedding photos on social media?

We ask that for the first couple weeks after our wedding that you wait to post, so that we have a chance to share our photographers pictures and pictures of our choice of our big day first. After, we would love to see what you have to share!

Who should I contact if I have questions about the wedding?

You can contact the bride at 603-998-6037 or the groom at 603-988-4289
