The ceremony will begin at 5:00 PM on Saturday, June 21, 2025. Please arrive a little early to settle in and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting before the ceremony starts!

We ask guests to wear Black Tie formal evening attire in dark, rich, and moody tones to complement our gothic wedding. Tuxedos, two-piece suites, evening gowns, and dressy cocktail dresses in those rich, jewel tones will complement the elegant atmosphere perfectly. Think black, deep purples, burgundy, dark blues, and charcoal greys—the darker, the better! We want to create an elegant, mysterious ambiance, but please note that the specific colors of emerald green, burgundy/cabernet, and deep purple are reserved for the bridal party and immediate family members. So, we kindly ask that guests avoid those colors in their attire to keep things cohesive. Since the event will be outdoors, please consider the desert climate when selecting your outfit. Light, breathable fabrics are recommended, and it’s always a good idea to bring a light jacket or shawl for the cooler evening temperatures.

The wedding will take place at Kingan Gardens, an enchanting outdoor venue located in Tucson, AZ. The ceremony and reception will be held in the gardens, surrounded by beautiful desert scenery. While the celebration will primarily be outdoors, there will be an indoor sitting room available for guests who want to step inside and cool off for a bit.

Yes! A cocktail hour will follow the ceremony, and we’ll be serving a delicious dinner. If you have any dietary restrictions, please be sure to note them when you RSVP, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

We’d love for you to bring a guest! Please check your invitation for details on whether your invite includes a plus one. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out, and we’ll confirm.

Tucson in June can be quite warm during the day, with temperatures averaging around 90-100°F. Since our ceremony and reception will be outdoors, we recommend dressing in light, breathable fabrics and wearing sunscreen. As the evening cools down, the temperature should drop into the 70s, so bringing a light jacket or shawl is a good idea
