FAQs and COVID-19 Policy

Question

What is your COVID-19 policy?

Answer

We will be following all state and county guidelines as we prepare for our wedding day! Currently, Minnesota does not require masking indoors. At this time, we will not be requiring masks. Please wear one if it makes you feel more comfortable. Our ceremony will be outdoors (weather permitting) with an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, and an indoor reception. We are requiring all guests to be vaccinated. We encourage guests who are not feeling well the day of the wedding to please stay home. Please continue to check our website as we get closer to the wedding for any updates as we navigate the ever-changing pandemic.
