No, although our ceremony will take place in a Catholic church, this will not be a full Catholic mass. The ceremony will be about 30 minutes long.

The dress code is formal, so suits and cocktail dresses or evening gowns are a great place to start! Just please don't wear white! 😉

We encourage everyone to drink responsibly during our wedding. Guests are welcome to leave their cars onsite at Birch Wood Vineyards overnight if needed.

We have hired a fantastic photographer and videographer to capture our day! Please enjoy the ceremony without using your phone or camera. You're welcome to take as many photos as you would like during the cocktail hour and reception and we would be happy to jump into a selfie with you then too!

Our ceremony will start promptly at 5:30pm. Please arrive by 5:15pm to find your seats and get settled.

Cocktail hour will start at 6:30pm, so you can go straight to the reception venue after the ceremony ends.

No. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be held indoors. Weather permitting, guests are welcome to enjoy the outdoor scenery at Birch Wood Vineyards throughout the evening.

Yes! Cocktail hour will feature both passed and stationary hors d'oeuvres, followed by a plated dinner and dessert during the reception. We will also have a late night snack to refuel at the end of the night!
