Question

Designated driver, camping & drinking expectations

Answer

Your safety is our top priority. While we want everyone to celebrate joyfully, we have a strict policy against drinking and driving. Tent camping is available for guests who wish to stay on the property. We kindly ask that you respect the venue by using designated bathrooms, avoiding unauthorized fires, and cleaning up any personal trash. For guests not camping on-site, we will monitor designated drivers registered in the RSVP to ensure responsible alcohol consumption. If we determine that driving would be unsafe, we'll ask that you remain on the property or arrange alternative transportation. Our goal is to create a fun, memorable experience while keeping everyone protected. We appreciate your cooperation in respecting both our wedding venue and each other's well-being.
