We understand that our guests may have specific allergies or other dietary restrictions, and we will do our best to ensure that our food will cater to our guests.

If you have specific concerns outside of this, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Answer
Please do not take home anything that is not indicated as a gift for guests (i.e. wedding favors).
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
