FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our venue has a dress code of business casual. To accommodate this, we just ask that no one wears jeans. As usual, guests should refrain from wearing white; additionally we also ask that our guests stay away from wearing lavender as this is what the bridesmaids will be wearing.

Question

Is there a hotel block?

The area has many hotel accommodations very close to the venue which makes it easy to find lodging without a hotel block being necessary. There are a few nearby hotels linked on this site for easy access and there are several others in the area as well that are not listed on the website.

Answer

Please let Alex or Julie know what food accommodations you will require! You can enter the information when you rsvp or you can text Julie at 443-504-7920. Our venue is able to accommodate these, we just need a heads up so they have time to adequately prepare.
