We would LOVE to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! The dress code is cocktail/semi-formal. This means no blue jeans, sneakers, or any casual wear. For examples of what to wear, visit this link: https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-guest-attire-cheat-sheet If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Wade!

Because the ceremony begins promptly at 4:00 pm, we recommend you aim to arrive by 3:30 pm to ensure you are able to comfortably arrive on time.

We are asking that all phones and devices are put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. We have hired a professional photographer and videographer to capture this special day and we'd hate for their shots to have phones in them! After the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many photos as you want!

The ceremony will take place outside and the reception will be inside. There will also be tables and chairs set up outside during the reception for you to enjoy as well. In the case of bad weather, the entire event will be moved inside.

If your guest name is listed on your invite and when you RSVP, then yes! Your invitation will be made out to "[Your Name] & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the people named on your invitation, so we ask that you do not bring a guest + we want to keep the wedding an intimate event with close friends and family! Thank you for understanding!

We love your little ones! However, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event unless otherwise specified on your invitations. Please make sure to RSVP for them as well when you submit your RSVP. We encourage you to use this as a date night to relax, socialize, and dance! Thank you for understanding!

Yes! A complimentary bar will be provided during the cocktail hour and reception. There will also be non-alcoholic beverages.

You will be dearly missed! Please indicate this on your RSVP as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
