Please RSVP as soon as you are able, and no later than August 1st.
Due to limited space, we ask that guests only bring a plus-one if they are specifically named on the invitation.
As much as we love your little ones, we are only able to accommodate children of immediate family.
Our celebration will feature both outdoor and indoor settings at the Hall of Laureates. The ceremony will take place outdoors in the Laureate Garden; with cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing to follow indoors. Please note that guests will be walking on grass during the ceremony.
Black tie attire is requested. Dress to impress! No such thing as “too dressy” See our "Dress Code" tab for more information And view our Pinterest board to help inspire your look: https://pin.it/4or834gRX
We kindly ask that guests arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow time for parking and seating. Please be seated in the beautiful outdoor garden by 3:45 PM as our ceremony will begin promptly thereafter. As parking at the venue may require additional time, early arrival is greatly appreciated.
We invite you to be fully present with us during our "unplugged" ceremony. We ask that all phones be tucked away and on silent. Afterward, we’d love for you to take as many photos and videos as you’d like throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing!
