We are only able to accommodate the guests that are included on your invitation. If you received a plus one, they would appear under your name when you RSVP.

Question
Where do I go when I arrive?
Answer
We will begin in the chapel! There is parking close to the chapel, but most of the parking is by the reception space, just a little passed the chapel. It is a very short walk between spaces, but please try to leave the close parking spots for people who may have difficulty walking! There will be signs directing you!
Question
What do we wear?
Answer
We would love to see you dress up! We know it might be hot so please dress so you will be comfortable (don't worry, both the ceremony and reception are indoors!), but we would love to see our guests in semi-formal attire. Feel free to bring a change of clothes if you see it necessary, we love being comfy so no judgement if you decide to get comfy after dinner! If possible, try to avoid sage green because that is what the wedding party will be wearing and we'd love them to stand out! Thank you!

We want all of our guests to be safe after a fun night so please don't hesitate to just get your car in the morning! There will be people from the wedding staying on property overnight and can help you out, if needed! Just please make sure to get your car in the morning because they may need the space for another wedding the next day!

Answer
We, of course, do not expect you to bring a gift, but they are always extremely appreciated! Our registry is on the website. We are registered through Amazon. If you do not see anything you love on the registry and/or have nothing in mind, we do have options to contribute to our honeymoon fund! Any amount is appreciated and will help us spend some quality time together. We have options to contribute to specific things for our honeymoon or to the general honeymoon fund! Monetary gifts are also extremely appreciated, as we are saving to buy a house! Thank you!
