The ceremony will begin promptly at 3pm. Please plan to arrive around 2:30pm to ensure you have plenty of time to find your seat and settle in.
We want everyone to feel their best and add a touch of elegance to our special day. The dress code is Black Tie preferred. This means you can wear a tuxedo, formal suit, evening gown, or long cocktail dress - whatever makes you feel your best. Please refrain from wearing white, dark green, or excessive patterns. Sage/light green is fine! Attire inspiration is available on the info page!
We kindly ask that during the ceremony your cell phones remain off and put away. We encourage you to be present and phone-free throughout the day where possible. We will be sure to share the photos and videos our wonderful photographers and videographers take afterwards! Additionally, we respectfully request that guests refrain from sharing photos of our wedding on social media until we have had the opportunity to do so. We are deeply grateful to celebrate this special day with you, and we appreciate your understanding as we take a moment to share our joy on social media in our own time.
