Question

How will guests get from the ceremony venue to the reception?

Answer

Guests will use their own vehicles to travel from the courthouse to the General Warren. There is a parking garage in downtown West Chester across the street from the courthouse (W Market St.)

Question

What’s the deal with the reception?

Answer

This reception is an intimate dinner with our immediate family and closest friends. There will be a cocktail/receiving hour to begin the festivities, during which time pictures at the venue will occur, and a champagne toast. But this is really an opportunity to get to know one another in a nice setting.

Question

When and where will pictures take place?

Answer

We’ll have a photographer come to the courthouse for shots during the ceremony, and then for different group shots during the cocktail hour at the General Warren. We will also have a brief in-between photo session at the Fresh Household (1220 Youngs Road, West Chester PA).

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code for this event is semi-formal. From wedding info site “The Knot”: According to The Knot Real Weddings Study, which surveyed nearly 10,000 newlyweds who were married in 2023, 62% of couples opted to have a semi-formal wedding. Why? It's neither too fancy nor too casual, a sweet spot that can take some major sartorial pressure off of guests. They also provide a style guide: https://www.theknot.com/content/what-to-wear-semi-formal
