Wedding Party

Where will the wedding be located?

Both the ceremony and reception will take place at 255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams Estate in Athens, Georgia, a city near and dear to our hearts. We will have a garden ceremony, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, and an outdoor tented reception.

What is the attire?

We kindly request formal attire for the evening. For women,&nbsp;long dresses are requested. For men, a suit and tie is appropriate. Please dress formally, but think lightweight fabrics appropriate for summer heat. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Is parking available?

Guests will park at The Butler Building at 337 S Milledge Avenue, Athens, GA 30605. This is about a two minute walk from the venue. If you have guests who have difficulty walking, you may drop them off at the front of 255 Milledge Hardeman-Sams Estate before parking if you would like! Use the bus-stop area in front of the house to do this.

May I bring my children to the wedding?

We have many children who are special to us, and as much as we adore them, this will be an adult-only celebration. We look forward to celebrating with you and appreciate your understanding!

May I bring a guest to the wedding?

Due to limited space and in order to keep our ceremony intimate, we request the attendance of only those listed on the invitation.

What time should I arrive?

Kindly arrive no later than 5:00 PM to be seated before the ceremony begins.

By when do I need to RSVP?

We ask that guests submit RSVPs by May 16th!
