We want our guests to feel and dress their best! We ask that everyone please dress in black tie optional/formal attire! Our wedding colors will be black, white florals, and hints of gold. You are welcome to dress on theme in black attire! Please no white, as that will be reserved for the bride!

We have hired AMAZING photographers to capture our special day, and would hate to have phones or cameras blocking them from capturing those moments! Therefore, we will be hosting an "unplugged" ceremony. We want our friends and family to be present with us in the moment, and don't worry, we'll share the photos after! :) Phone and photo use may resume during the reception!

It is our desire for an intimate wedding day with our closest friends and family. We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, it will be listed on your formal invite by name and when you RSVP! Thank you for understanding!

While we love your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding an adult-focused celebration. We are making a few special exceptions for immediate family, and we hope you’ll enjoy a fun night out with us! Thank you so much for understanding.
