What is the dress code?
In the spirit of our celebration we request you join us in formal attire. Woman are asked to wear formal length dresses, at the knee or below. Men are asked to wear suit and tie.
We ask that you please refrain from wearing white, cream, teal, or gold as that is what our bridal party will be in.
Can I bring a plus one?
Unfortunately we can’t accommodate plus ones due to the limited space, unless they are explicitly mentioned in your invitation. We appreciate your understanding and are excited to celebrate with you!
Can I bring the kids?
While we love all our little friends, we want this day to be a relaxing celebration for you! Only the children of the wedding party will be accommodated. Thank you for understanding!
When do I need to RSVP?
Please RSVP no later than December 22. This ensures we can finalize our arrangements and reserve a spot for you!
Have you reserve hotel room blocks?
