In accordance with local guidelines, all visitors must wear masks in public areas. In order to keep everyone as safe as possible, we’re kindly requesting that all guests are fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to the wedding. As a result, masks will currently be optional for both the ceremony and reception and we will not be social distancing seating. We truly hope that everyone will comply with these rules but understand if you can’t. In the interest of ensuring the safety of all guests, vendors, and venue employees, unfortunately, no guest over 12 years old will be admitted without being fully vaccinated. All vendors will either be fully vaccinated or masked at all times. We are keeping up with the current guidance from the CDC, so our plans may change based on current guidance.
