Are Children invited or able to attend the wedding?

While we adore children, we've opted for an adults-only affair to allow everyone to relax and enjoy the celebration. We hope you understand our decision and can arrange childcare for the evening. If you have any concerns or special circumstances, please don't hesitate to contact us directly to discuss further.

Can I bring a Plus One?

While we typically live by "The more, the merrier", in this case, we are unable to accommodate more than the guests specifically invited due to venue capacity. We hope you understand our decision to limit the number of guests where appropriate.

Will transportation be provided to and from the wedding ceremony venue?

Unfortunately, transportation will not be provided to/from Packer Memorial Church. There will be ample parking available (see parking question below), and we recommend either driving to/from the ceremony or leveraging ride share options (i.e., Uber, Lyft, etc.).
