What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
All guests are strongly encouraged to adhere to cocktail formal. Skirts should be at or below the knee. No jeans, sweats, or tee shirts. Jackets for men are strongly preferred. Think about what you would wear for a day out at a vineyard with your friends, or at an outdoor gala.
Can I bring a plus-one?
All plus-one requests must be made by Sept 21. Please see the RSVP information you received in the mail on your invitation. Reach out if you have any questions about this. You may not bring a plus one without Bride and Groom review. We hope they will be rare.
Will there be a bar?
We have made the decision to host a sober wedding. This means that alcohol will not be provided, or encouraged. We came to this choice after asking ourselves if we would be able to live with the possible consequences of our closest family and friends driving after having drinks and the answer led us to taking alcohol off the list.
If you have any questions about this, please reach out. We ask that no one "BYOB". Non-alcoholic options, mocktails, and beers will be available. Please do not show up intoxicated or drive after drinking. We would rather have an empty seat than a hurt friend or family member.
This is important to us and we aren't interested in other options or flexing on this. Thank you!
Will there be dinner served at the reception?
Yes. Dinner will be catered by Bosc + Brie, with a full-service buffet. You will be provided a choice of appetizers, one entree, and sides. See the Food and Drink tab for details.
Where will I sit for dinner?
For most of our guests, the answer is wherever you want! Parents and grandparents will be seated nearest the wedding party. Only parents and grandparents will have place cards. We encourage guests to mingle and meet.
Are children allowed?
Of course! We have children in our lives that we love and cherish--they are just as much a part of this day as the adults.
Here are some guidelines for parents: Children will not be seated as a group. There will not be a "kids' table" or a separate play area. Additionally, there will be no menu adjustments for children. Please plan accordingly and bring a booster seat if you need one. Please closely monitor cell phone and device use. Volume on mute for any media, please! A lactation/changing room will be provided.
Where should we post photos we take at the wedding?
We encourage you to take photos and share with family and friends. However, we strongly ask that no photos are posted or shared before we share our own from our photographer. Please do not stream or live post any part of the events.
Is the ceremony religious?
We come together as representatives of families from a wide array of spiritual backgrounds. While our roots are in Christianity, we have grown toward accepting guiding tenets of all faiths. The ceremony, although secular, will include some familiar religious elements and traditions.
Is there parking available at the venue?
Yes. Be warned that the parking available is primarily gravel and grass.
