If you do RSVP and cannot make the wedding due to unforeseen circumstances please reach out to let us know.

Guests are not permitted to bring their own alcohol due to Connecticut's Liquor Laws. We will have a capped bar where alcohol can be ordered. Our capped bar will eventually turn into a cash bar.

We have a separate tab on our wedding website with a few hotel options near our wedding venue. Depending on which hotel you stay at, it will take up to 30 minutes to commute to our wedding venue. If you are unable to drive back to your hotel room the night of our wedding, guests are able to leave their vehicles over night at our venue and can come back the next day to get their vehicles.
