For the Mass portion of the wedding, we ask that guests wear church-appropriate attire (Semiformal). For example; dresses and skirts for women, and kakis/dress pants and button down shirts for men. For the reception, feel free to bring a change of lighter semi-formal clothes if you’d like—we want everyone to be comfortable and not overheat. Please no jeans or t-shirts.
Yes there will be alcohol provided! As well as a variety of non-alcoholic drinks available, including lemonade and sodas.
Yes! Children are more than welcome—we’d love to celebrate with the whole family.
Please RSVP by June 1st so we can plan accordingly. We appreciate it!
Plus ones are noted on your invitation. If you were not given a plus one but would like to request one, please feel free to ask—we’ll let you know if we’re able to accommodate.
We will have a set menu with a variety of food options from a caterer specialized in BBQ. While we won’t be offering separate meals for specific dietary restrictions, please reach out to us ahead of time, and we’ll do our best to see if we can accommodate.
The ceremony will be held indoors. The reception will be a mix of both indoors and outdoors—tables and food will be inside under cover with the Arboretum doors open, while the dance floor will be outside. There is a large covered area so there will be no problem if there is rain.
We have not reserved blocks of rooms at any hotels, so we recommend booking early if you’ll need accommodations. We are not worried about hotels completely booking up, and there are plenty to choose from.
There will not be shuttles provided for the wedding or other events. We recommend carpooling or arranging your own transportation.
There’s no required theme or color scheme—wear what makes you comfortable! We just ask that guests avoid wearing white dresses.
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you’d like to honor us with a gift, you can have it delivered to the Bride's Family's house [27536 Bud Vaughan Rd. Junction City, OR 97448] or bring it with you to the wedding. A wedding card box and gift table will also be available at the reception.
We kindly ask that guests arrive 10–20 minutes before the ceremony begins. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis, but don’t worry—there will be plenty of seats for everyone.
About half an hour after the ceremony, we’ll have a casual social time with lawn games. The official reception will begin at 4:00 PM. Attendance at the social hour is optional—come relax or mingle as you like!
Our wedding website has a dedicated schedule section with an outline of the day, including key start times and events. Be sure to check it so you know what's happening and when!
