Question

Will all guests be fully vaccinated? + Do I need to test before I come?

Answer

Yes, please! Although all events will be held outdoors, in order to keep our friends, family and children in attendance safe, we respectfully request that all attendees be fully vaccinated at least 2 weeks before attending our wedding. Please social distance whenever possible and wear a mask if you are indoors with our party. UPDATE: Considering more recent updates, please also test yourself: - 2 days before departure - day of departure - and perhaps upon arrival too!!

We invite you to collaborate on our guest wall here to connect with each other about rental cars, carpooling, lodging or to say hi! https://bit.ly/DardenHartGuestWall
