FAQs

The Wedding Website of Brian Sandstrom and Avery Maltman
Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal dress is appreciated. For men, suit acceptable but please no chinos or jeans. For women, jumpsuits or floor length, midi, or cocktail dresses with chunky heels or wedges recommended. Blooming Hill is a real working farm - we suggest clothing choices that are comfortable and shoes that can withstand grass, mulch, pea-stone, and decking. The tent will be closed with heaters as the sun goes down, but an additional light layer could be useful for marshmallows by the campfire.

Question

How do we get to and from our accommodation?

Answer

If staying at the Sleep Inn & Suites, transportation to and from Blooming Hill Farm will be provided. More details on this to come later... Uber & Lyft are available in the area for transportation to the farm. However, we do not recommend relying on ride-sharing apps after the event. Please plan for at least 20-30 minute wait times for Uber or car services. Scheduling Uber/Lyft is always an option as well. Here is a list of taxi services, recommended by Blooming Hill Farm.
