Yes, we are registered with Zola and Amazon. Please see the links provided in the Registry section. Thank you for your contribution toward starting our lives together!
Yes, dress code is formal/black tie optional, please.
We respectfully request that everyone silence and keep their cell phones put away throughout the duration of the wedding ceremony. We will have professional photographers and a videographer taking footage of the day, and they will be moving around throughout the ceremony to capture various angles. For their safety, and yours, please do not move into the aisles to attempt to take video/photos during the ceremony. We want everyone to be present in the moment, while also avoiding having a sea of cell phones in the background of the photos and video. However, after we walk down the aisle as husband and wife, feel free to take as many photos as you’d like! We’ll have a QR code available to scan on-site for you to share all your captured moments with us. Also, everyone will be provided with a link of the professional photos and video when they become available. Thank you for respecting this very important request!
Only if a plus-one was indicated on your invitation. Otherwise, please do not bring additional guests. We appreciate your understanding.
This will be an adult-only celebration, with the exception of some kids who are in the wedding party. Please plan to arrange childcare in advance. We appreciate your understanding.
Hotel recommendations can be found in the Travel section of the website. There are plenty to choose from in the immediate area surrounding the venue!
Yes, plenty! There is a full parking lot across the street, as well as various parking structures within two blocks of the venue. There is also street parking available throughout downtown. Be aware that signs that indicate "paid parking" on the street exclude weekends, so parking should be of no cost to the guests. However, the parking structures do charge later in the day, but no more than $20 for the whole night.
Please note this on your RSVP, or reach out to the couple as far in advance as possible. The vendor may not accept last-minute changes, and there is no kitchen on-site to accommodate special requests.
As of right now, not yet, but we are planning to do so soon! Stay tuned. :)
It'll likely be warm in the afternoon and will cool down in the evening, however the wedding ceremony and subsequent festivities (cocktail hour, reception, etc.) will be indoors. The venue has an excellent HVAC system to keep us cool throughout the evening!
