FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! We request Cocktail Attire or Black Tie Optional for the ceremony and reception. For men, this would be a suit (and maybe a tie). For ladies, this would be a floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dress. Please avoid wearing all-black clothing (suits are okay).
Question
Can we bring our kids?
Answer
The ceremony and reception will be adults-only. If your kiddos aren't listed on your invitation, please make prior arrangements for them and enjoy a date night with us.
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
You can RSVP by checking out the RSVP tab on our website.
Question
When do I need to RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by March 31, 2025. If you are unable to attend, we would appreciate you still let us know as soon as possible. Any RSVPs after this date will be marked as "no", as we need final headcounts for the venue, caters, etc.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
We'll add a registry to the website closer to the wedding date :)
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will start promptly at 5:10pm. Please aim to arrive no later than 5:00pm before the ceremony begins to allow for seating and getting settled. We also recommend considering traffic and travel time to ensure you don't miss any part of the celebration. We look forward to seeing you all there!
Question
Is parking available?
Answer
Yes, parking is available. There will be a parking attendant available to help direct you to parking. Please keep in mind that the road to the venue is windy and the venue is secluded, so uber and lyft are difficult to use, especially at night. We may provide a shuttle service depending on the interest from the RSVP's. This way you can fully enjoy the evening without worrying about getting behind the wheel!
Question
Can I take pictures?
Answer
Our ceremony is unplugged and we wish to maintain its solemnity. We kindly ask that all guests refrain from taking pictures or videos during the ceremony. Please avoid blocking the view of our professional photographer who will be capturing the moment. Once we are announced as husband and wife, feel free to take as many pictures and videos as you would like!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We'll have an open bar, so feel free to raise a glass and celebrate with us throughout the evening.
