We will have two 22 person shuttles that will collect guests from the Courtyard Marriott Short Pump & Hyatt House bring them to the venue for the ceremony & reception.

The shuttles will be available at 10pm to bring guests back to the Courtyard & Hyatt House at the end of the night. Ubers and lyfts are also available if you decide not to use the provided shuttled. If you plan to take a ride share we recommend pre-booking your return ride since the venue is outside of the city. The venue also offers parking should you choose to drive. For those of you planning to take a ride share or drive, we will have balloons marking the driveway. Take the dirt road all the way down for about 1 mile. If you are driving, there will be a parking lot to your right a few yards before the main entrance to the property. If you are in a ride share, you can continue into the property and be dropped off in front of the house. Once you arrive, you'll see signage directing you to the grove where the ceremony will take place. There will be a golf cart should you need assistance.
Please aim to arrive by 3:30pm. The ceremony will begin promptly at 4pm. The venue is about 30 minutes away from the hotels in Short Pump and downtown Richmond. If you plan to take the shuttle, please be outside either the Courtyard or the Hyatt house at 3pm. Refreshments will be served when you arrive.
The venue provides a golf cart and driver to help transport guests to and from the ceremony site and to the restrooms. If you need any assistance please contact Missy once you reach the venue at 510-280-4116
The entire event will be outdoors. Our afternoon ceremony will be in the grove, while cocktail hour will take place in the garden, The reception will take place under a tent on a patio. Aside from the paved reception area all events and paths to the events will be in grass, for that reason, stilettos or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended. The average weather is in the mid-to-low 70s during the day and mid-to-low 60s during the night.
The welcome event is cocktail attire and will be held outdoors. The wedding is garden party black tie. We ask that you wear a tuxedo, but a dark suit and tie are acceptable. Alternatively, an evening gown or a floor length formal dress would be appropriate. Jordan loves an excuse to dress up so we hope you use our wedding as a chance to dress up and have some fun. For those curious, the bridesmaids will be wearing browns and greens.
Unless specified on the invitation, we are not allowing additional plus-ones or children to our wedding. We'd like to keep the guests list intimate and celebrate with those who know us well. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.
We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner with a choice of entree. There will be a meat, fish and vegetarian option available. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions at least two weeks prior to the wedding and we will do our best to accommodate.
There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception, however, we do recommend bringing cash or a credit card along if you plan to come out with the wedding party after the reception ends.
We kindly ask that you keep our ceremony "unplugged" and refrain from taking any photos or videos during the ceremony. We have a wonderfully talented photographer who will capture that moment. We want our guests to truly be in the moment with us during this special day, but phones and photos will be allowed after the ceremony.
Your presence is the most important gift to us! However, if you would like to honor us with a gift, check out the "Registry" page for guidance and our delivery address. We kindly request that gifts are mailed to our home address. A wedding card box will be at our reception.
