Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP as soon as possible after you receive your invitation! All RSVPs must be in by September 1st in order to give our venue and vendors an accurate head count. If you can not attend, we completely understand! Just please let us know as soon as you can, so we can plan accordingly!

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at 4pm. The ceremony will begin exactly at 4:30pm. Any late-comers will not be able to enter.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes- Black Tie Optional! We would love to see everyone looking their best, so we are requesting guests wear floor length gowns, tuxedos, or dark suits.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes- there will be transportation! Most hotels are within walking distance of each other. When you RSVP, let us know where you are staying, so we can choose pick up spots that can accommodate the most guests. Transportation will also be provided from the venue to the after party. However, transportation will not be provided to those staying in private rental properties such as Air BnB's or VRBO's.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! The Hildene by day is a lovely museum (which you may tour privately during cocktail hour). There is a parking lot down a small hill, and golf carts are available for guests who need them!
