Our wedding aesthetic is timeless sophistication in an elegant black-and-white palette, with just a hint of Great Gatsby glamour. Think classic, refined, and effortlessly sophisticated…with a touch of sparkle. For women, we encourage midi and floor-length dresses; sparkles are highly encouraged. Don’t just dance under the chandelier - be the chandelier! (Also please don’t wear white, Carly will be mad). For men, a suit is perfect. Also men, don't be afraid to add in a little sparkle/glam as well. We like to call this faux black tie: the vibe is fancy, classy, and a little dazzling. This is your moment to lean into elegance and have fun with it.

Yes, there is ample parking available at the venue. The drive way is long so just keep on coming down until you reach the mansion; we promise it's there. Vehicles can also spend the night if needed.
