The attire for both the church ceremony and reception is black-tie optional. For men, think a dark suit and tie or tuxedo. For women, think a floor or mid length gown. We'd love to see our guests dressed to the nines! Bridesmaids will be wearing a dark shade of plum and the bride's "something blue" crew will be wearing different shades of blue.
Please arrive between 12:30-12:40pm to ensure a prompt ceremony start time of 1:00pm. There will be another wedding after ours, so we will start right on time!
Due to limited space inside the venue, we kindly ask that our wedding be an adults-only celebration. We hope you enjoy a night off to relax and celebrate with us! We appreciate your understanding.
Unless explicitly stated, we kindly ask that only the guests listed on your invitation attend.
