Are the ceremony and reception in the same place?

Yes! They are both at The Gardens of Castle Rock.

Do you have a gift registry?

Yes, you can find the gift registry under the Registry tab on this website; when you see something you want to purchase simply click the item and it will take you to the correct website for purchase.

What is the dress attire?

Anything from "Smart Casual" up! Or whatever you are comfortable in, feel free to roll up your sleeves, skip the tie, or even rock the linen look.

Are children invited to the wedding?

While we love all of our family and friend's children, the only children that are invited to the wedding are our immediate family cousins. Those invited will be noted on the invitation. Thank you for your understanding.

I get bored at weddings, will you have stuff to do?

Of course. We will have yard games, s'more station with fire, table activities, foliage photo wall for your Instagram needs, and a projector with trivia and other games throughout the evening.

Did you block a hotel? Where should I stay?

Yes! Check out the Travel tab of this website to find hotel and wedding block information.

Is there parking at the venue?

There is plenty of on site parking for all of the wedding guests at the venue, but there is no overnight parking. We will have a shuttle dedicated to our event running from the hotel and back that we recommend so guests don't have to worry about driving :)

Is the venue outdoors?

Mostly yes; the ceremony is under a pergola of vines, mostly covered in foliage and the reception is under a semi-permanent tent. Walking between the ceremony/reception/bar/bathrooms will be outdoors but only short distances - they are all spread around the patio. If it looks like it is going to rain, bring what you would want for walking short distances between covered spaces. Additionally, if it is very hot (or in the event of an apocalypse in the summer - very cold), the tent can be cooled/heated.

Will you have food options for vegetarians?

We will absolutely have vegetarian options for dinner through the buffet.

I lost my invite... how do I RSVP?

On the RSVP tab on this site! We are going paperless for the RSVP so no need to mail us anything; just follow the instructions on the RSVP tab to find your party and confirm/deny your attendance!
