Q + A

What's the Welcome Party?

We know some of our loved ones are traveling a good distance and wanted to have something to do for our weekend guests. Its a great chance to catch up with friends and family you haven't seen in a while! This is a non-hosted event, this ones on you the next day is on us ;)

Is there a dress code?

Yes! We are asking guests to dress in semi-formal attire. For gentlemen, a jacket or traditional suit (tie optional), for women no mini dresses. Please refrain from wearing jeans, shorts, sneakers or flip flops! We ask that guests avoid colors reserved for the bride (cream, ivory, or white).

Is the venue handicap accessible?

Unfortunately our venue is not handicap accessible and stairs are required to reach the reception space.

What's the best way to get to the venue?

There is parking at the venue, however cars must be picked up by 8am Sunday morning. For this reason if you plan on celebrating, please consider using Uber/ Lyft.

What time should I arrive?

Our ceremony will promptly start at 5:00 pm please arrive around 4:30 pm. This will allow time to mingle, find your seat and enjoy a welcome beverage.

Can I bring a guest?

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate additional guests. We are only able to accommodate the guests that are included in the RSVP section (children included). If you received a plus one, it will be listed when you RSVP. If someone named in your party cannot attend, please note this does not mean you can replace them with a separate guest.

Are children invited?

While we love your little ones we hope you understand that we would like to keep this as an adult celebration.

When should I RSVP by?

To help us with our planning, we ask that you kindly RSVP by June 14th (but the sooner the better). If we don’t receive your RSVP by the date specified, we cannot make any exception and will have to mark you as ‘not attending’. We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner.

I have more questions about your wedding, who can I contact?
