FAQs

Are there any guidelines regarding photography or device usage during the ceremony?

We’d love for you to share in our wedding fully and not through the lens of a camera or cell phone. We're happy to share our professional wedding photos later, but the greatest gift you can give us today is just being fully present with us in this sacred and special moment.

Can I bring a guest not noted on my invitation?

We have addressed the invitations to the people we would love to come. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Please ensure that you RSVP for yourself & your guest. Due to limited space, we can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation.

Will your big day be kid-friendly?

The specific number of invitees per household will be noted on your formal invitation.

What should I do if I can't make it?

You will be dearly missed! If you can not attend, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "no" so that we may plan accordingly. Thank you!

What should I wear to your big day?

We would love to see our guests dressed in cocktail or formal attire. Cocktail attire typically refers to semi-formal attire, such as an elegant dress or suit. For gentlemen, this could mean a suit and tie or dress pants with a button-up shirt. Ladies, a cocktail or longer dress would be appropriate. Our bridal party will be wearing slate blue. We want our guests to feel confident, so please feel free to choose attire that aligns with your personal style while still respecting the formal tone of the occasion. We can't wait to celebrate with you in style!
