Are phones allowed to take photos of the night?
We kindly ask that guests keep their phones put away during the ceremony. We want this special moment to be phone-free so everyone can be fully present. We’ve hired a professional photographer to capture everything beautifully, and we’d love for you to simply relax, enjoy the ceremony, and let her do her magic!
Are Children Allowed?
Yes, children are welcome! When you RSVP, you’ll be able to register everyone in your group, including your kids. Please note that children will only appear as an option if you’ve already contacted us about bringing them. If you plan to bring children and haven’t let us know yet, please reach out first so we can confirm and update your RSVP accordingly.
Are Plus Ones Allowed?
Plus ones are welcome, as long as we’ve been notified in advance. Since our venue has limited guest capacity, please note that only approved plus ones will appear on your RSVP form. If your plus one does not appear when you RSVP, please reach out to us — we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
Our dress code is dressy casual—think stylish, but still comfortable.
For gentlemen: A button-up shirt paired with nice jeans, khakis, or dress pants.
For ladies: A dress, a skirt, or a pair of nice bottoms styled with a blouse.
The bridal party will be in sage green and matcha green and we’d love for guests to join in soft, complementary shades if they’d like. Lovely options include light soft blues (such as dusty blue), sandy neutrals (tan or beige), blush or peach, soft gold, lemon yellow, lavender, or other bright summer colors. Feel free to wear dresses with florals/designs or just a plain summer dress, whatever your preference is! Of course, this is just a suggestion to help guide your outfit choices—feel free to wear what makes you feel your best!
