Q + A
Are children invited?
While we love all of the children in our lives, you deserve a night out to enjoy yourself! This wedding and reception are an adult only event. Thank you for understanding.
What do I wear?
Ladies, please DO NOT WEAR ANYTHING WHITE, OFF WHITE OR CREAM COLORED.
We would love it if you could incorporate our wedding colors into your attire: navy blue, teal, blue green, desert sage or sage! (See photo below for our color palate.)
The attire for this wedding and reception is Semi-Formal.
We ask that you leave your jeans at home & dress up for this occasion.
Ladies, the ceremony will be in a grass field and the reception will be in a pavilion area with some gravel. So, pick your shoes accordingly!
Gentlemen, we suggest wearing khakis or dress pants & a button up with or without a tie. Cowboy boots are welcome!
For reference our groomsmen will be wearing suits, and our bridesmaids will be wearing floor length gowns. Also feel free to bring some dancing shoes to change into.
Is the wedding indoor or outdoor?
Our entire event will be outdoors by the Lake with grassy, paved & gravel areas. There will be covered spaces in the event of rain. Please dress accordingly.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will begin at 4pm. We ask that you arrive 15 to 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony, to ensure that everyone has time to park and find and seat prior to the ceremony.
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Yes! Please see the Travel section of our wedding website for additional information.
Will there be parking & can I leave my vehicle overnight?
Yes! There will be parking in front of the reception area in a large gravel parking lot. You are welcome to leave your vehicle overnight, however all vehicles must be retrieved by 12pm the following day.
Need a safe ride home?
If you need a safe ride home please be sure to arrange beforehand as there is not Uber or Lyft in the area. Or a friend/ family member is welcome to come pick you up from the venue. Guests are responsible for their own transportation to and from the wedding.

Guests can head straight to the reception area for cocktail hour!
Will there be alcohol?
Yes, OF COURSE! We ask that you drink responsibly and have a designated ride home.
