Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

We would like for all of the moms and dads to enjoy a night out, so children are not invited.

What airport should I fly into and where should I stay?

Answer

The wedding venue is accessible from two different airports. We have also reserved a block of hotel rooms at the Hampton Inn Warrenton at a discounted rate. As of June, the hotel is completely sold out for the weekend of our wedding, with just a few rooms remaining in the block. We have included information on airports, room block reservations, and alternate hotels you might consider on the Travel page.

Is there a dress code?

We want you to look and feel stunning, so cocktail attire is best. Rain or shine, the ceremony and the cocktail hour will be held outdoors. Please plan accordingly.

Question

What is the weather like in Warrenton in late October?

While the weather is in Mother Nature's hands, the Farmers Almanac suggests you should prepare for sunshine and temperatures in the 60s. Ladies, if you are planning to wear a sleeveless dress, we suggest bringing a shawl or light jacket for your comfort during the outdoor events.
