Dress Code?
Formal wedding attire. There is no need to bring out the ball gowns or tuxes, but we do ask that the jeans are left at home for this occasion. Rust and Olive Green are respectfully reserved for the wedding party, and any shades of cream, ivory, or white are reserved for the bride. Here is a link to a more comprehensive guide that should hopefully answer any further questions:

RSVP?
Please RSVP no later than August 10, 2024. To RSVP, please navigate to the RSVP page of this website and enter your full name into the search bar. Please answer each question and ensure that you have entered your email and clicked submit. You should receive a confirmation email if everything is done correctly. If you do not receive that email, please double-check your attendance status by revisiting the RSVP page and reentering your full name.
Plus One?
Plus-One's will be given on a case-by-case basis. Each invitation specifies the names of the persons in that household who are invited. We ask that you only RSVP for up to the amount listed on your invitation. PLEASE RSVP to ensure enough food and seating, as it will not be guaranteed to anyone who did not RSVP or is not explicitly named on the invitation.
Parking?
Parking will be available on-site. You will be driving past the initial driveway to a field where parking attendants will be available to direct you. Please follow the directions of the parking attendants, as they will guide you to a parking spot and subsequently to the ceremony space.
Open Bar?
We will have an open bar until supplies run out. There will be four signature cocktails and a limited selection of wine and beer. We kindly ask that drink orders are limited to those options. We also request that no one brings their own alcohol due to venue and vendor constraints and guidelines.
Photography/Videography?
We have hired an amazing professional photographer to capture all of the important moments of our special day. As such, we will be having an "unplugged ceremony." This means that we respectfully ask that all cameras, phones, and other electronic devices remain put away for the duration of the ceremony. We would love for everyone to just be fully present in that moment with us. We'd love our photos to be accented by the smiling faces of the people we love, not so much their phones and cameras. We promise that we will send photos to whoever requests them as soon as they are delivered to us. On the other hand, we would absolutely love you to take as many photos and videos as you would like during the reception and share them with us, given that it does not disrupt the work of our wonderful professionals.
Child-Friendly Atmosphere?
At 8 pm, the atmosphere and music of the reception will shift from kid-friendly and wholesome to worldly (possibly explicit). An announcement will be made at this time, and we ask that you please govern yourselves accordingly. All formal events of the reception will have already taken place, so if anyone chooses to leave at this time, they will not be missing out on anything except some extra dance time.
Food?
There will be appetizers served at the cocktail hour and a buffet dinner towards the start of the reception. We have tried to account for any possible dietary restrictions and allergies that we are aware of, but, just in case we may have missed anything, there will be a portion of the RSVP process where you will be able to list any allergies or dietary restrictions that we should be aware of.
Dogs?
Our dogs, Chanel and Angel, will be a part of the wedding and present for the entirety of the day, including the reception. They are toy poodles, meaning they are as hypoallergenic as dogs come. However, we thought it only fair to give all of our guests a heads up.
