FAQs

Question

What is the expected dress code?

Answer

The recommended attire is dressy casual, meaning nicer than you'd wear to work, but not black tie. Think of it as a combination of relaxed and refined pieces—think blouses, dress shirts, button-downs, dress pants, and clean shoes. Along the spectrum of formality, dressy casual is one step above casual (please, no jeans and t-shirts) and one step below business casual. Our primary concern is that all guests are comfortable! It is October and outdoors, so we recommend dressing for the weather as well (bring a jacket!).

Question

What type of bar will there be?

Answer

We can’t wait to celebrate with you and host you for dinner. However, due to our own values, we have chosen a cash bar, so please bring cash or a credit card to enjoy bar service. Other non-alcoholic beverages, such as water, select soft drinks, lemonade, and coffee will be provided by us.

Question

Why is the RSVP date so early?

Answer

In accordance with out venue, no changes may be made to our proposal after the 30 day mark. This is earlier than most venues, thus the early RSVP date. This also means that once RSVPs are due, no changes can be made. We can no longer accomodate additional people, change information on dietary needs, or otherwise make any changes. There will be no exceptions.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

This is one of the most important things to us. We have two dinner options, but can accommodate other dietary needs if we know in advance. If you have any allergies that absolutely need addressed - severe reaction to nuts, dairy, gluten, anything - please let us know. We we make sure that your dinner will be safe for you to eat, and if your allergy is airborn, kept out at all costs. Just let us know at minimum 1-2 months in advance, the sooner the better.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

Absolutely! That said, be aware that the venue is a working farm. There is a lake nearby, as well as livestock that are visible and accessible from the reception area. This can be a hazard to unattended children. While we are happy to have them, for everyone's safety, please take caution in deciding whether or not they should attend.

Question

Why do you need my Plus One's name?

Answer

Please provide the name of your plus one when RSVPing for our Seating Chart. If this name changes at any point, please let us know. If you are initially unsure who you are bringing or if you actually will, please do not leave it blank or RSVP for a Plus One "just in case." Instead, RSVP alone. While we welcome all, we want to share this day only with those closest to us and those closest to them. If something changes prior to the RSVP date, this is something that can be addressed and adjusted then.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes - the venue is a farm within a residential area. It is a distance away from most hotels and the city, so a private parking lot is provided for all guests. There will also be a motorized cart available for those with accessibility issues, so that those who cannot easily walk the distance from the parking lot to the ceremony area will have transport.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time. We plan to start at the exact time listed, no later!
