IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

We would love to see our family and friends dress their best. If this means a formal gown, your nicest pair of denim, or a blouse, we hope you feel ready to celebrate in what makes you feel comfortable.

ARE CHILDREN INVITED?

We love all of your little ones! However, due to many factors including limited space, we respectfully ask you only bring children that are included on your invitation.

CAN I BRING A DATE?

Due to limited space at Gathered Oaks, we can only accommodate our close family and friends. All invited guests will be listed on the formal invitation. If your date's name is listed on the invitation we would love to see them there!

WILL THERE BE TRANSPORTATION TO THE WEDDING?

Yes, a shuttle will be available to transport guests to and from Arrowwood Resort and Gathered Oaks.
