EVERYONE: Dress appropriately for an outdoor wedding on a working farm during late spring early summer! Watch the weather! Please no shorts, T-shirts, Jeans, or full tuxedos/black tie apparel.💐🌸🌻Spring/Easter pastels are encouraged. Soft, light colors fit the vibe best—think spring, not fall or bold patterns. But wear whatever semi-formal outfit you feel good in!🌸🌷FYI: The bridesmaids will be in full-length pastel pink gowns, so please avoid wearing anything too similar—and no white, as that’s reserved for the bride💍

The After Vibe: Casual Pool Party with the Newly Weds

62 Chestnut Hill Road, Litchfield, CT

6pm - 10pm 6/6/2026 (After our Wedding!)

We’ve heard how quickly wedding days can fly by, and how hard it can be to spend quality time with everybody! This casual, come-and-go get-together is simply an extra opportunity to relax, say hello, and visit a bit more — especially with friends and family who are traveling from out of town! You’ll already be seeing us at the wedding, so this is truly just an optional bonus if you’re up for more fun! Stop by if it works for you, stay for a bit or the whole time, or skip it entirely— we’ll be happy either way and look forward to seeing you throughout the weekend!

Pizza Truck, Bring Bathing Suit, BYOB, Kid-Friendly

Join us for a laid-back night of family fun with a pizza truck, yard games, pool games, a campfire (with roasting!), and more. Kids are welcome! Casual attire encouraged — shorts welcome (please plan to change if attending both events). Bring your bathing suit, a pizza truck and beer/wine will be served for dinner! Bring your own additional alcoholic beverages if you want!

Can't make it? No worries at all! We'll catch you at the next party!

In order to fully transition from formal wedding to after party, we kindly ask that guests attending The After Vibe party do not arrive before 6pm. Check out our "Visiting Litchfield" tab for awesome things to do and stay busy between events!
