Am I able to take photos durning the Ceremony?
No. We are having an unplugged ceremony. Meaning once the ceremony starts we ask that all Phones/Cameras go away and be silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us during this moment and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures. We promise we will share photos with everyone. After the ceremony is over please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like. We also ask you to wait to post pictures of the Bride and Groom.
What to wear?
Please come dressed Business Casual and try to refrain from wearing Sage Green, Baby Blue (light blue), purple, and the obvious White. These are the colors we are using for our wedding party. We would like you to come as you are but we ask you to wear NO JEANS.
Is the wedding Inside or Outside?
Both, we are hoping to have the Ceremony outside if it's not raining and then the Reception will be inside the barn. If it is raining we will have the wedding in the barn.
PLEASE PRAY FOR NO RAIN!!!
What should I do if I am late?
We are asking Guest to arrive at 2:30 or no later then 2:45. We are starting the Ceremony at 3:00pm sharp, this will give you enough time to mingle and find a seat. THE FIRST TWO ROWS ARE RESERVED. If you arrive after these times our coordinator and the venue will let you know if they are able to seat you or not, if not, we kindly ask you to hang tight and we will see you at the reception.
Are kids invited?
Unfortunately due to space limitations, we are having an adults-only ceremony and reception. The only children attending are those who are part of our close family or apart of the Wedding. Please honor and respect our wishes.
Are there hotels near by?
There is a hotel near the Venue and it is 20 mins away. We did book at the Fairfield Inn & Suites under Shiflett Wedding. https://app.marriott.com/reslink?id=1769737532230&key=GRP&app=resvlink If you are having trouble booking please let the Bride or Groom know!
We will not make arrangements for you to get there so please have a DD or Uber.
DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.
Is there an open bar?
Yes, but drinks always taste better when you tip the Bartenders. Reminder we do not have a place for you to stay on site. Please make sure that you have a DD or a way home.
