FAQ
If you or someone accompanying you is not feeling well please stay home. We will miss you celebrating with us, but we do not want to risk the health and safety of others.
ARE THERE ANY COLORS WE SHOULD AVOID WEARING?
We kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, & creams.
WHAT IF I DO NOT RSVP IN TIME?
If we do not receive your RSVP card by the date we provide, it will be marked as "No" and you will not have a seat. We will miss you celebrating with us, however we have to provide a total guest count to the venue & vendors in the timely manner they have given us. Thank you for understanding!
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE TO THE CEREMONY?
We kindly ask you to arrive 30 minutes prior to ensure nothing is missed.
CAN I TAKE PICTURES DURING THE CEREMONY?
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. Please refrain from using your phone during this time to be fully present with us on our special day.
We have an amazing photographer and videographer to capture all the special moments. You are more than welcome to bring out the cameras during the reception.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We would like you all to wear semi-formal attire. Ladies are more than welcome to wear a cocktail dress. Men can wear a button up and suit jacket, ties optional. We want y'all to be comfortable enough to join us on the dance floor, but please NO jeans and NO shorts!
CAN I BRING A GUEST/DATE
Your formal invitation will be made out to "{Your Name} & Guest" if a plus one is given to you. We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guest.
ARE KIDS WELCOME?
The formal invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children invited. However, we encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourself!
WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?
Yes! The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you so get ready to celebrate! Please plan accordingly and have a SAFE way to get home.
ARE YOU PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION?
No. The venue has parking on site. If you are staying at a hotel, there will be no transportation set up.
Is Smoking Allowed?
Our venue prohibits smoking of any kind inside the barn (this includes vapes). There is a smoking area outside. We just ask that you refrain from smoking during the ceremony so you do not miss anything :)
