Yes! Our wedding is black-tie optional. This means we would prefer for guests to be in black-tie and gowns, but it's not required. Dark formal suits (black, dark grey or navy) and floor length or maxi dresses are also appropriate. We just want to see all of our favorite people get dressed up for our big day. If you are confused on what black-tie optional entails, feel free to reach out to the bride and groom.
This will be updated with more information when we send out our formal invitations.

As much as we love seeing your little one's, our wedding is exclusively for adults, with the exception of immediate family who are in the wedding.
Due to space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you've received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed on your invitation. Otherwise, we ask that only the named people on the invitation are in attendance. We appreciate you understanding!
Yes! As the sun is shining (keep your fingers crossed) we will be saying “I do” during a fully outdoor ceremony. The cocktail hour and reception are in a covered tent where there will be AC and options for guests to go outside to lounge and sip as they wish. Please make sure to dress appropriately and keep hydrated throughout the day.
Yes, The Grandview has a large parking lot right outside the venue. There will be valet parking to accommodate your vehicle.
