FAQs

The answers to all of your pressing questions about our wedding!
Question

Where is the wedding taking place?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will be taking place in our backyard in Marstons Mills (Barnstable).

Question

What time is the ceremony? What time is the reception?

Answer

Guests are asked to arrive at 4:00pm for the ceremony and the reception will take place immediately after.

Question

How do I get to the wedding venue? Will transportation be provided? What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

Sadly, our driveway cannot accommodate all of our guests, so you will have to park offsite at the Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Course, and we will provide transportation to the event. Address for parking is 1460 MA-149, Marstons Mills, MA 02648. You will need to arrive to the shuttle by 3:50pm.

Question

What is the dress code? What should I wear?

Answer

Attire can be a bit laid-back, dressy casual. Think sundresses and summer slacks or dressy shorts in lighter hues.

Question

What weather should I expect?

Answer

Summer on Cape Cod is beautiful, but the temperature can vary. During the day it will likely be warm (80 degrees F/ 26 degrees C); it cools down at night (70 degrees F/21 degrees C). We are hoping for sun (of course!), so sunscreen and fedoras might be a good idea, as well as a cover-up for when the sun goes down.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The wedding will take place outdoors, with a tent covering the reception area.

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Answer

We would love for you to keep your phones in your purses and pockets during the ceremony and leave those pics to our wedding photographer. But we are more than happy to pose for pics with all of our loved ones during the reception.

Question

Are there other wedding events to attend?

Answer

There are some other events for our out-of-town guests prior to the wedding (thanks so much for traveling so far to see us get married!), and we have sent separate invites for those.

What COVID health and safety measures will you be taking during the event?

Our event will take place outside, so we feel pretty comfortable that everyone will be safe mixing and mingling.
