Attire for our wedding is Cocktail Attire (for ex. suit/tie or sport coat with dress pants for the men and a cocktail dress or dressy separates for the ladies) Guests will need to walk on the grass for the ceremony, so if you are wearing heels, consider a chunkier heel because thin ones might seep into the grass making it hard to walk. If choosing to wear shoes with thin heels, consider a heel cover like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KGEOIKM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
We recommend arriving at the ceremony venue shortly after 4:30PM to ensure you have enough time to walk to the ceremony space (located about a 5-minute walk from the parking lot) and find a seat. The ceremony will begin 5:00PM.

We love your children, but we would like our special day to be an adult-only occasion.
