How/When Should I RSVP?
A formal invitation will go out in late May/early June. In the invitation, an RSVP card containing a QR code will take you to our main wedding website. Click on the "RSVP" tab to locate your invitation by searching the name listed on your envelope and confirm or decline your attendance. You may also contact Nate or Becca to RSVP. We kindly ask that you reply by August 9th to allow us time to provide final head counts to our vendors.
What Time Should I arrive?
Although the ceremony starts promptly at 4:00 PM, we recommend that guests arrive 15-30 minutes before the official ceremony start time so you can get settled and enjoy music (and a great view of the Marlene's Pond) before the proceedings.
Is the venue Indoor or Outdoor?
The ceremony will be held outdoors under Marlene's covered patio just behind their main barn. Please proceed to the patio space upon arrival as the day's events will begin here! The reception will be indoors in Marlene's Main Barn.
Where should I park?
The venue has plenty of parking located right out front of the main barn/reception area. Overflow parking will be directed to the grass field directly across the street if needed. Handicap parking is also available directly in front of the barn as well.
What is the dress code?
We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us! Dress code is semi-formal, relaxed. Feel free to wear nice jeans ;), with a button-up or a polo for men or casual dresses/rompers for women. Definitely bring comfy dancing shoes! :)
