FAQs

Question

Answer

Question

Can I bring any pets?

Answer

Question

Will the wedding and reception take place outdoors?

Answer

Yes, the ceremony will take place along a lake dock with wooden tiered seating and the reception will be under a covered and open pavilion by the water. Please consider bringing sunscreen and sunglasses!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We will be going with a semi-casual/semi-formal style. Aka, a nice sun dress in your closet or a button up shirt with slacks. Do consider bringing a light jacket or sweater for a cooler night as the average nighttime temperature is 56 degrees F/13 degrees C. Also, stilettos may not be the best shoe to wear as the ceremony seating is on gravel and dirt and uneven surfaces.

Question

What is the weather like in the area?

Answer

Since we’re going with an in-between-seasons day it could be on the comfortably warmer side(around a high of 78 degrees F, 25 degrees C with a low of around 56 degrees F, 13 degrees C). Rain could be possible so do prepare for that chance by bringing an umbrella.

Question

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Answer

We’d love to see each person’s own unique perspective. We just ask that you please wait until after the ceremony as we will have professional photographers and videographers getting shots and they would look best without phones seen. If you’d like to get a photo with us just let us know! We can even get our photographer to get the professional shot for you if you’d like.
