FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We'd love for you to dress in spring cocktail attire. Think tea-length to maxi dresses, long jumpsuits, and suits with or without ties in any color—and we especially encourage bright spring hues to match the celebratory spirit of the day! Please avoid dresses in shades of white. The ceremony and reception will be outdoors, and a light shawl may be helpful after dark. Let us know if there are any questions!
Question
How should I RSVP?
Answer
We will open RSVPs when we send out formal invitations in December!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
We're thrilled to celebrate with the people closest to our hearts! To keep our celebration intimate and within our venue's capacity, we can only welcome guests who are specifically named on the invitation. If someone named on your invitation is unable to attend, we ask that you do not arrange a replacement guest. Please reach out if you have any questions!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We're hosting an adults-only evening (18+) and respectfully ask that children not attend. This way, all our guests can enjoy an open bar and dance floor in a relaxed, grown-up atmosphere!
Question
How should we address the newlyweds?

Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos during the ceremony—our officiant will remind everyone at the start. We've hired professional photographers to capture every precious moment, allowing us to be fully present and savor the day. We can't wait to share their beautiful photos with you once we receive them!
Question
Can I park overnight at the venue?
Answer
Yes! The Museum of Life and Science has so graciously allowed everyone to leave any vehicles in their parking lot overnight if you can't safely drive home. Please pick up your vehicle the next morning and make safe decisions!
