We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day. Dress code is formal attire. Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses. Gentlemen can wear a suit & tie or formal attire.
We are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated. Thank you for understanding.
We kindly ask that our wedding be an adults-only celebration, with the exception of children in our immediate family and those especially close to us. Invitations are addressed to those who are invited, and we truly appreciate your understanding.
The ceremony will be held outdoors (weather permitting), the cocktail hour will be both indoors and outdoors, and the reception will be indoors. Guests will walk to the garden on paved pathways, but will need to walk on grass to take their seats for the ceremony; for that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.
The doors to the venue will open one hour ahead of our ceremony time at 5:30PM. We recommend arriving at the ceremony venue at least 30 minutes ahead of the ceremony start time to ensure you have enough time to walk to the ceremony space and find a seat.
We ask you to kindly turn off your cellphones during the wedding ceremony and refrain from taking photos and videos. We have professional photographers and videographers on hand to capture all the special moments and are excited to share their photos and videos with you.
We invite you to RSVP online here [www.zola.com/wedding/codyandkarolina]. If unable to RSVP online, please contact Karolina or Cody.
Please RSVP by May 15, 2026.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate you if you RSVP late. We will need to provide our vendors and the venue with an exact guest count by a certain date. While we will send out reminders, please be sure to RSVP as soon as possible.
Your presence will surely be missed. Please RSVP "Will Not Attend". If you have RSVP'd as attending, but find that you can no longer make it, please notify Karolina or Cody as soon as possible.
We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner with a choice of entree. There will be a meat, fish and vegetarian option available. Please select your entree choice upon RSVP.
