FAQs
Question
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Weather permitting, our wedding will be fully outdoors. The ceremony will take place on the lawn, cocktail hour on the upper lawns closest to the estate, and reception under the tent. In the event of rain, the ceremony & cocktail hour will also take place under the tent. Appleford is a historic estate, garden, and arboretum. Please feel free to enjoy the grounds and estate indoors during the reception. In the wise words of Gandalf, "not all those who wander are lost."

Question
Can I take photos on my camera or phone during the ceremony?
Answer
We'd be happy to invite you to take photos during this special moment! Our officiant will guide you on when the best times to take photos will be - otherwise, we kindly ask you keep your cameras & phones tucked away & put on silent during the ceremony. This is so our photographer & videographer can capture the magic of the moment in all its splendor! We truly appreciate your consideration & understanding.
Question
Will I be able to take photos with the couple?
Answer
While we'd love to take photos with every one of you, we have limited time between the ceremony & cocktail hour. As such, photos after the ceremony will be limited to just family and the bridal party. However, we happily welcome photo ops during reception! We thank you in advance for your understanding!
