What time should I arrive?

Question
What if I have a dietary restriction?
Answer
Please indicate any allergies or food restrictions in the comment box when you RSVP.
Question
Will there be swimming?
Answer
Historically, at a Koch home summer wedding, most everyone often jumps off of the tiki-hut bar dock into the water to cool down during and after the dancing! So if this sounds fun to you, please bring a change of clothes, or wear clothes you are happy with getting wet and dancing in!
Question
What if I have more questions?
Answer
Please contact whichever side of the wedding party you're most closely associated with - both the groom and bride would love to answer whatever questions you have!
