Wedding FAQs

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We are so excited to celebrate this day with our close family and friends! Due to our wedding being a small, intimate gathering we ask that only those formally invited attend. You can find those formally invited on the invitation and when you RSVP online. Thank you for understanding!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Kindly RSVP via mail in card or online by June 25th, 2025. If you are unable to attend, we appreciate that you still let us know at the soonest opportunity. Any RSVPs not received or received after this date will be marked as a "not attending" as we will be sending our final headcount to the wedding venue and vendors.

Question

Are children welcome to attend?

Answer

While we love your little ones, you deserve a night away. Our wedding is an adults only event with the exception of children in our wedding party. Thank you for your understanding!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress code is formal attire. We would love to see our friends and family all dressed up for our big day. For the Guys: Throw on a sharp suit. Or wear a button-up shirt, a tie, dress pants and dress shoes. Nothing too wild, but enough to look like you might be running for office or going to the prom. Please refrain from wearing T-shirts, shorts, jeans, sneakers or flip-flops/ sandals. For the Girls: Ladies, wear a long dress or a snazzy formal jumpsuit. Keep it classy with soft colors or fun patterns, and finish it off with heels, flats or fancy sandals. Please refrain from wearing white, ivory or champagne tone dresses, mini skirts/ dresses or super casual dresses.
