Things to Do

Registry

Respect the SpaceOur venue is a private garden that took years for Kathy to complete, so please treat it with care. Littering, including trash and cigarette butts, is absolutely not acceptable—let’s keep this beautiful space clean! Designated smoking areas with proper containers will be available for your convenience. Thank you for being mindful and respectful!

Shoes &amp; The Lawn
Our entire wedding will take place outdoors on a lawn, so please keep that in mind when choosing your shoes! Heels may sink into the grass, and we have been told that other weddings hosted here, many guests end up barefoot by the end of the night. Feel free to opt for wedges, flats, or stylish sandals to stay comfortable and dance the night away!

While traditional cigarette smoking is permitted, please note that marijuana use is not allowed anywhere on the venue premises. Thank you for your understanding!
