While we absolutely adore your little ones, due to the large property size of the estate, alcohol consumption, and open pool access, we are hosting an adults-only event for safety reasons. Thank you for your understanding. We can't WAIT to throw the most epic party for you :)
We are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitations. If you have a plus one, it will be listed on your wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding!
Summer Semi-Formal. No suits/ties/bowties/or jeans. Linen pants/slacks, collared shirts, summer/maxi dresses, colorful. The wedding is outside on grass - we suggest wearing block heels/wedges.
Yes, there will be open bar! Signature drinks, beer, and wine available. There will also be plenty of water and other non-alcoholic drinks. Outdoor wedding in the end of June! Please stay hydrated. While there will be an open bar... it can be "closed" at any time for any person... in other words, please drink responsibly! ok.. back to the fun stuff!
There will be delicious catered BBQ served buffet style (cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert) by Bernie's Blue Line BBQ! Menu cards will be on your reception tables sharing what will be served at the buffet. When you RSVP, please clearly report if you have any dietary restrictions. Jason and his catering staff will prepare your meals separately and make sure they are set aside for you at the smoker/trailer in the driveway. This is just to make sure that your meals are not served to folks without dietary restrictions.
