FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail attire is requested. We love dressing up and would love for you to get all dressed up as well!
Question
What does "Cocktail Attire" mean? I don't understand fashion and need examples!
Answer
Cocktail is essentially semi-formal for the evening. Think about what you might wear on a fancy date- it's time to whip out more elevated fabrics and a bit of glam! Feel free to bring the party with bold colors and patterns and a little sparkle if you'd like. Some examples for the one-piece loving crowd include a cocktail dress, knee- through midi-length dress, little black dress, or chic jumpsuit. Those opting for separates might wear a pantsuit, dressy separates, or dress shirt and tie, and optional blazer, suit, or sport coat. We want everyone to be able to dance the night away, so please wear whatever dressy shoe you feel comfortable in. You might try a dressy sandal, flats, heels, loafers, or oxfords. We do ask that you give your flip flops, sneakers, and muck boots a break for the evening. :) Still stuck? Feel free to ask either bride.

Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Our evening begins with a cocktail hour, so no need to arrive earlier than 5pm. (In fact, our venue will only allow people in for set up before 5pm, and we don't want you waiting in the cold!) Dinner will begin at 6pm. Please plan your arrival time appropriately to allow time for mingling and seating prior to dinner.

What should I know about parking?
