Q + A

What is the dress code?

Semi-Formal or "Dressy Causal." Make sure you have comfortable shoes for walking in grassy areas and layers if you get cold easily!

Is this a kid friendly wedding?

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adult-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

This wedding is an RSVP-only event and we are only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. A plus-one will be annotated on your official wedding invite if you have been given one. We'd love to invite everybody, but unfortunately that’s unrealistic for an event like this.

What date must I RSVP by?

Please RSVP by August 15th. If you have not RSVP'd by then we will have to count you as a no. Thank you for understanding!

How early may we arrive on Saturday for the ceremony?

Pleases aim to arrive 15-30 minutes before the start of the ceremony.

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony will be held outdoors. Chairs will be set up in a beautiful lightly forested area that sits on the river. Cocktail hour will be held indoors but there is a spacious outdoor patio and lawn where people may gather as well. Reception will be held indoors. In the event of inclement weather, all events will be held inside the comfortably large barn.

What is the weather like in Maine in September?

In late September, plan for daytime temps anywhere in the high 50s to mid 60s. Evening temps may fall to the low 50s. As long as there's no rain, the ceremony will be on the river which may add a cool breeze. We recommend checking the weather forecast closer to the date!

Is there parking available at the venue?

There will be a parking lot with plenty of spaces located along the entrance road which is within very short walking distance to the venue. However, if you are traveling with a group of people, we always suggest carpooling whenever possible.

What is the easiest way to get to your venue?

Our venue is located right off of River Road. There will be a sign indicating where to turn and you can follow the road until you hit the parking lot. From there it is a short walk to the barn and the ceremony will be located behind the barn by the river!

Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?

Gluten free and vegan/vegetarian options will be available upon request. Please indicate any allergy/restriction you may have when you RSVP!

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Please refrain from taking any photos/videos during the ceremony. We have skilled photographers who will be doing this for us! During the reception we encourage you to take photos/videos to remember the night and please send them our way!

Who should I contact if I have additional questions about the wedding?

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to either of us and we’ll do our best to help! On our wedding day, we kindly ask that you direct additional questions to our coordinator who will be introduced at the ceremony. Thank you!
