Can I bring a plus one?

Your invitation will be addressed to “ (Your name) & Guest” if a plus one has been given to you. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate additional guests.

Are kids invited?

Due to limited numbers, we hope you appreciate that children are only invited if named. Your invitation will be addressed to “ The (Your last name) Family” if your children have been invited. We encourage you to take this as a date night!

What happens if I do not RSVP on time?

If we do not receive your RSVP by the date we have provided, it will be marked as a “No”. We will miss you celebrating with us, however we have to provide a total guest count to the venue and vendors in a timely manner. We hope you understand.

Are there any colors I should avoid wearing?

We kindly ask you to avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams.

Is there a dress code?

We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up with us! Our dress code is formal attire. We ask that men wear a suit, and woman wear some type of dress.

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

We ask that everyone arrive 15-30 minutes before the ceremony starts. If you arrive after the start time, unfortunately you will miss the ceremony and will join us for cocktail hour afterwards.

Can I take pictures throughout the ceremony?

We will be having an “unplugged” ceremony. We request that all cell phones are silenced and turned off during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture our special day and we will be happy to share the photos with you. During cocktail hour and the reception feel free to take as many pictures as you’d like.
