FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal, however we kindly ask that no guests wear any shade of white to the wedding. It is an outside ceremony, and the reception will be inside but there will be lawn games and fire pits outside as well, so dress accordingly!

Question

Are you having an unplugged ceremony?

Answer

YES!! Please do NOT take pictures or have any devices out during the ceremony - we paid good money for a photographer! You are more than welcome to take pictures after the ceremony, though! Thank you!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Kids are welcome, however we ask that if your child starts making a fuss that you take your child out of the area as soon as possible to calm them down.

Question

Is it kid friendly?

Answer

No - kids are allowed, but we wanted to put a disclaimer that our wedding caters towards adults. There will be loud music, alcohol, cursing, and basically a giant adult party. We will not be censoring ourselves to keep it kid friendly. If you don’t want your children around this type of environment, please seek childcare. Thank you for you cooperation in helping making our wedding dreams come true!
