Q+A

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Something that makes you feel great! Cocktail attire is preferred. Weather permitting, our ceremony will be outside. The ground can be soft, so block heels/wedges/dressy sandals are recommended over stilettos. Cocktail hour/reception will be inside the lodge with the option to be outside on the stone patio.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

We love all of your little ones, however our wedding will be for adults only.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Yes! We have a round trip shuttle service from SpringHill Suites in Frederick that leaves at 5:00 PM SHARP. At the end of the night, there is an early and a late return shuttle depending on how long you'd like to party with us! See the Accommodations tab for more details. If you are not staying at the hotel, you are still welcome to park at the hotel to utilize the shuttle. Cars can be picked up from the hotel the next morning if need be.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

Yep! If you prefer to drive yourself, parking is available at the venue. When you arrive at 12805A Mink Farm Road, you will be guided to park at the ceremony location. After the ceremony, you will be guided to the lodge for cocktail hour/reception. Cars can stay parked overnight until 10:00 am the next morning (if you choose to park overnight, you're welcome to take the shuttle at the end of the night back to the hotel, we have more than enough space! Just make sure you have a ride to the venue on Saturday morning before 10:00am)

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Hopefully perfect! We visited our venue a few times last summer, and the temperature was consistently cooler than it was at the base of the mountain. Our venue is in the woods, and we're hoping that paired with the later start time, we'll have a temperate summer evening. That being said, feel free to wear lighter materials/fabrics just in case it does get hot! And if it rains, it rains! If that’s the case, ceremony and reception will be in the lodge.

Question

What's the food and drink situation?

Answer

No need to give us your dinner order! We will have ample food stations and an open bar, plenty of fuel for dancing. Please contact us directly with any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Please RSVP on this website! For our hotel block, be sure to book before June 10th to secure the discounted rate.

Question

Will Griffin be in attendance?

Answer

Griffin will be celebrating howl-y matrimony from his favorite spot: our couch in Baltimore. He's a busy guy.

For all the days along the way
