Question
Can I Take Photos/Videos During The Ceremony?
Answer
We have hired an amazing photographer named Viola and she will be there to capture all the moments of the ceremony! We do kindly ask that phones be put away during the ceremony portion. Feel free to take as many photos/videos once the ceremony has ended.
Question
Where Should I Stay?
Answer
First off, thank you so much for traveling the distance to celebrate with us! We have provided everyone with an option to use our hotel block at Hotel Sylva in downtown Sylva for the weekend. This will be located under the travel tab with a link provided to the hotel's website to book your stay.
Question
Is The Venue Indoor or Outdoor?
Answer
The ceremony will be held outside with a mountain view. The ceremony site requires a 5-10 minute walk either up a trail or up a gravel driveway. If you need assistance with getting to the ceremony site please let us know in advance. The cocktail hour and reception will be held on the event lawn by the main house. The area will be tented with heaters. However there are several indoor locations you can use to escape the elements, if needed.
Question
What Is The Dress Code?
Answer
Our dress code is garden formal. We invite you to dress to the nines to help us celebrate our marriage! Please wear formal attire in fall colors and/or fun patterns. Long dresses or skirts, suits and ties, and dressy separates are preferred. Do no wear jeans and do not wear white (including patterns on white bases). The ceremony will be on the mountain overlook that requires a short walk on a trail. The reception will be held on the event lawn. Tall heels and unstable shoes would not be recommended.
Question
When Should I Arrive?
Answer
The ceremony will be starting at 3:30pm. To avoid being late and missing anything we recommend arriving by 3:00pm, to ensure you have enough time to use the bathroom (if needed), make your way up to the ceremony site, and find your seat before the ceremony starts.
Question
When Should I RSVP?
Answer
You can RSVP as soon as you'd like! Please make sure to RSVP "yes" or "no" by March 1st, 2026. This allows us to give our vendors a correct count prior to the wedding.
Question
Can I Bring A Guest/Date?

Question
Are Kids Allowed?
Answer
We love your little ones! However, due to the limited space at our venue we have decided to keep our wedding adults only with the exception of the those apart of the wedding party. We encourage you to use this as a date night to get out and have some fun!
