What's the dress code for your wedding?
Attire: Smart casual or semi-formal attire. The groomsmen will be in tuxedos, so if you'd like to dress up, feel free to do so! Women can wear cocktail dresses, maxi dresses or stylish separates, and men can opt for suits or dress trousers with a nice shirt. Please no jeans, shorts, flip-flops, or sneakers. We want everyone to feel comfortable while looking their best as we celebrate!
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our early evening ceremony will be outdoors in the rose garden, the cocktail hour will be held on a covered patio and the reception will also take place outdoors.
Guests will walk to the garden on a slight downhill pathway along with a few steps. There is a a bit of walking between the ceremony back to the reception space so for that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.
