Please plan to arrive between 3:30-3:50pm. Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4pm. Please enter the side garden of the Bradford, where you'll be greeted with a glass of champagne and guided to your seat.
Children are welcome to join our celebration if they are specifically named on your wedding invitation. As we exchange our vows, we are hoping for a very quiet and intimate outdoor ceremony. Because it will last about 30 minutes, we kindly ask that if your little ones tend to get restless, you please step into the indoor area with them until the ceremony concludes.
Formal attire is requested. Gentlemen should wear a suit with a tie or bow tie. Ladies, please choose an elegant floor-length gown or sophisticated pant suit.
Please refer to your formal invitation to confirm if you’ve received a plus one.
