FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code is cocktail/formal! That can look like anything from a tux to a suit and tie for men and a floor length or cocktail dress for women. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors (weather permitting); there is a gravel walkway so please keep that in mind when choosing your footwear for the evening.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

Due to size restrictions we are only able to accommodate those expressly listed on the invite, we appreciate your understanding and cannot wait to celebrate with you!

Question

When can I check into my hotel room?

Answer

Hotel Baker check-in at at 4:00 pm each day, though if your specific room is ready they often allow an early check-in. We recommend giving them a call around noon to inquire about an early check-in.
