What is the attire?

Are kids invited?
Although we love your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event. This rule excludes the littles in our wedding party and a handful of close friends. We hope you enjoy a date night and appreciate you making prior arrangements!
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 pm. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to give yourself ample time to find a seat. The reception is about 12 minutes away at the Gala 417 and cocktail hour will begin at 4pm.
Will there be an open bar?
Absolutely! We are so excited to spend the evening with you and ask that you please be responsible and do NOT drive if you plan on drinking. Please make arrangements for a safe ride home.
Can I bring a plus one?
We would love to keep our wedding as intimate as possible. If you received a plus one, it will be listed on your invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP through our website. Thank you for understanding!
When should I RSVP?
If you are able to RSVP as soon as you receive your invitation, that would be super helpful! We ask that you RSVP by October 1. After that, any unanswered invitations will be marked as "not attending" due to all of the vendors cut off dates.
Where are you registered?
Although your presence is the best gift we could receive, we realize that some of you would like to know about a physical gift. Here on our wedding website we have a handful of items on our registry. However, we kindly ask that you consider donating to our honeymoon fund! Any money left over will go towards a downpayment on a house. Thank you!
Where is the Reception?
The reception will be held at the Gala 417 on Shore dr! Cocktail hour will begin promptly after the ceremony, and it is about at 14 minute drive from the ceremony to reception!
Are the Ceremony and reception at the same place?
No, the two locations are located about 15 minutes from each other! As of now there will not be transportation provided, but this is TBD and more information to come on this!
