We highly encourage all of our guests to get a rapid COVID-19 test prior to the weeding in order to ensure the safety of all guests. We also highly encourage guests to take their own temperatures prior to attending the wedding.

We are requesting that our guests wear wristbands to easily identify each attendee's comfort level with socially distancing. We are all in the same storm, but we are not all in the same boat. We understand that some of our guests will have been able to receive the vaccine at this time, while others have not. Some guests may have not had the same opportunity, or they have other family members that they have to protect themselves for. As such, we ask that our guests please be mindful of the color of each other guest's wristband. See below for a definition of what each color represents:

Green: Happy with hugs and handshakes.

Yellow: Okay with socializing, but please don't get too close as I would like to refrain from physical contact.

Red: Happy to be here, but i will be sending my love with a smile and a wave from 6 feet away.

Please note that for those who do select red, Hunter and Mandy will attempt to work with the venue to ensure a more distanced seating arrangement.

Masks will be available for all guests, and hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout the wedding. The venue will be making rounds every thirty minutes to sanitize door handles and other areas where there is a high volume of touching. All guests will also be provided their own personal hand sanitizer as a gift from the groom and bride.

All vendors will be wearing masks throughout the event, and all vendors will have their temperatures checked for the event.

All venue and catering staff will be wearing a mask and gloves during the wedding. There will be temperature checks for all vendors at the wedding.

In addition, there will be a buffet style dinner served in a separate room. We will have the guests obtain food in when their table number is called in order to reduce a line of people congregating in one location. Each guest will hold their plate as the catering staff serves each guest (this will reduce multiple people touching the servingware).

The venue will be checking the temperatures for all vendors prior to the event.

The Carriage house holds up to 300 guests, but due to the pandemic, we have purposely limited the guest list, and we expect the venue to be operating at 45% capacity or less.

The venue offers the balcony area of the chapel for COVID safe viewing for up to six guests during the ceremony. We will reserve this area for members who have been identified as "red" under the wristband policy.

The venue does have a large outdoor area, we will be able to enjoy some fresh air during the cocktail hour. There is a conservatory on the grounds for anyone who would like to spend a little extra time outside during the reception. Pending the weather, we are hoping to keep the doors to the reception hall open in order to ensure a well ventilated area.

We are providing a chartered bus between the hotel and the venue. While on the bus, all guests are required to wear a mask. We also ask that guests sit in every other row to be respectful of other guests. Because buses will be operating at half capacity, please let us know if you will be utilizing this transportation to or from the wedding o that we can ensure that we can make the appropriate reservations.

All buses are cleaned and disinfected with Vital Oxide (Hospital Grade solution that is EPA-approved and CDC-recommended). Cleaning and disinfecting includes all high and low surface touch points including: entry handrails, overhead bins, seats, head rests, arm rests, seat belts, cup holders, windowsills, door handles, restroom and baggage door handles both inside and outside the vehicle. Please note this is in addition to the standard cleaning procedures that the buses receive on a regular basis which are disinfected after every move when you travel in the motor coaches.

Each bus also bring fresh air into the cabin every 10 minutes. In addition, the bus uses MERV-11 air filters and UV lights in the AC system to virtually eliminate viruses, bacteria, and mold for an added level of protection.
