Wedding Party

When should you RSVP By?

To help us with our planning, please RSVP as soon as possible. However, the deadline is June 9th, 2025. If we do not receive your response by then, we cannot make exceptions and will have to make you as "no". We need to be able to provide our vendors a total headcount in a timely manner, we hope you can understand!

Can I bring a plus one? 

Due to limited venue space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed within your invitation. Otherwise, we ask that only the named invitees be in attendance.

Are children welcome?

As much as we love your little ones, due to limited venue space, our wedding is exclusively for adults unless you have been told otherwise by the bride and groom.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We ask that you kindly silence and put away your phones and cameras during our ceremony. We want you all to be present with us during our special moment. We have a professional photographer and videographer who will capture everything for us and will be happy to share them.

Is there an open bar?

Hell yeah there is. We want you to have the best time, so the drinks are on us, but the hangover is on you!

Is the wedding outside? 

Our wedding will be both in and outdoors! Our ceremony and cocktail will be outside, so please be sure to dress appropriately and stay hydrated throughout the day! Our dinner and reception will be located indoors (with AC)!

Is there parking at the venue?

Yes! There is a parking lot at the venue! Just a heads up that all cars need to be removed by 9 am the next day or they will be towed at your own expense!

Q + A
