Kamilla + Brendan

August 30, 2025

WHY ANNAPOLIS?

As most of you know we planned to celebrate in Frankfort, KY. But due to some dishonest folks, we had to abandon ship and create a backup plan. Ultimately we decided to scale the celebration back dramatically. With that in mind, we saw how much Annapolis means to both our families; Kamillas parents married in Annapolis, and Brendans family has deep ties with both his parents essentially grew up in the area. We want to bring our families back to this place of significance to celebrate our love!

WHY DID THE WEDDING MOVE FROM KENTUCKY?

We had initially planned to do an amazing 'back-yard' style wedding weekend at a huge house in Frankfort Kentucky. We even took time in June 2024 to travel there and explore the area for our big day, we got to tour the house / venue and everything. Without getting too deep into the details, as time went on things became increasingly strange with the owner of the estate; the companies website was taken down, stories came out about them declaring bankruptcy and being involved with fraudulent behavior. We were connected with other couples involved in their 'scams' where we heard horror stories of this company double booking venues, cancelling reservations just weeks before the event, not responding as wedding parties showed up from hundreds of miles away. Ultimately we had to make the difficult decision to abandon our dream wedding plans. We are grateful that we can still put on a celebration even if we had to scale back significantly. We are looking forward to the celebration we CAN have with our closest family and friends this upcoming August!

ARE YOU GUYS HAVING A CEREMONY?

Yes we are, however it is going to be 'elopement' style on Saturday August 30th. We are limited to 20 people at the ceremony so we have decided to only have family in attendance. Those invited to attend the ceremony would have received an additional invitation enclosed with the reception invitation. We are still excited to celebrate with everyone at the Chart House Prime dinner reception!

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Cocktail / Semi-Formal Attire Cocktail dresses midi or long preferred, dressy jumpsuits, and jackets / slacks. We're embracing a soft, romantic summer vibe. Think garden party meets timeless elegance. Soft pastels, sunset tones, earthy greens, light neutrals, or muted blues preferred. Please no casual wear: Shorts, jeans, tennis shoes, flip-flops, etc. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to us.

CAN I BRING A PLUS-ONE?

While we would love for you to bring a guest to celebrate with us, our vision is to have an intimate event with our closest friends and family. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only, we can only accommodate those listed on your personal invitation.

ARE KIDS INVITED?

We love your little ones! However, we have decided to keep the ceremony and reception as adults only, aside from our closest family. We want everyone to enjoy a care-free evening to enjoy each others company, think of it as date night on us!
