Question
What should I wear?
Answer
If you love a theme, we're leaning into white lotus dinner party semi-formal vibes. But come however you're comfortable! You won't be turned away in jammies. We gently ask guests not to wear political apparel to the ceremony or reception. :)
Question
Will there be food?
Answer
Of course! Please let us know of any dietary restrictions when you receive your invitation.
Question
May I bring my child(ren)?
Answer
This is a kid-friendly wedding, but please let us know if they’ll be joining you when you RSVP, so we can ensure food & a seat for them!
Question
May I bring a "plus one"?
Answer
Please defer to your invitation! To ensure we meet the venue's capacity requirements and can feed everyone, we have to limit the amount of additional guests we can include. We did our best to ensure close family and friends and anyone we know to be in a relationship has room to bring their partner. Again don't hesitate to reach out! I don't think we are mean people :D
Question
May I bring my pet(s)?
Answer
Check with your selected lodging provider. We love ours to pieces, and we wouldn't want to limit you.
Question
What about transportation?
Answer
More info regarding transportation to/from the ceremony will be provided closer to the day but rest assured we won’t be having you engage in festivities and try to drive down a dark mountain! As far as getting to lodging from the airport, we will see what we can do about carpools/scoops as we get a better idea who is flying in and when. But we’ll do our best!! Stay tuned.
Question
Are there any events the night before?
Answer
Yep! Stay tuned (not mandatory).
