Will there be accommodations since the reception is in Aurora?
Yes! We have a lot of people coming in from out of town (and state!) for the wedding, so we have two blocks available at hotels nearby Orchid House for those who wish to stay. We are also planning on providing a shuttle service to safely transport all of you amazing people.
Keep an eye on our Travel page for updates as they come along!
What is the dress code?
We are requesting a formal dress code for our evening. While the weather in mid-October should be on the warmer side (fingers crossed!), layers probably aren't a bad idea. Orchid House is both indoor & outdoor, but our reception will be under a tent outside - so plan accordingly. Can't be too hot - or cold - to dance!
Is there parking nearby?
Yes! Both St. James & Orchid House have parking lots immediately adjacent to their main entrances.
Are plus one's and/or children allowed?
We will be addressing the invitations to the people we would love to come. If you receive a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP.
In terms of the kiddos, we love all of your little ones! However, we respectfully request you only bring the children that are listed under your name when you RSVP.
How can I RSVP?
Once we send out the official wedding invitations, we will invite you to RSVP online via the link provided on the invitation itself.
What's the itinerary for the day?
Check out the Itinerary page for a full rundown!
What's the easiest way to get to and from your wedding venues?
There's a parking lot immediately adjacent to St. James Church, so driving will be the most convenient for the ceremony. If you're planning on heading down to Orchid House afterwards, all the better! Carpooling is encouraged, especially if you're staying at the hotel & taking the shuttle to the winery. Just don't forget your overnight bag!
Is Orchid House indoors or outdoors?
Short answer... yes :)
Long answer... we will have an afternoon cocktail hour at Orchid House that will start indoors and overflow outside into the garden. The reception will be outside, down a stone walkway underneath a beautiful tent. If you haven't already, go to orchidhousewinery.com and check out their gallery to get a better picture.
