Question

How do I get to the venue? Is there parking available?

Answer

There is ample parking available at the venue. Depending on your chosen airport and arrival time, the journey to the venue typically ranges from 45 minutes to just over an hour. Though we'd love to provide transportation, we'll be busy with pre-wedding arrangements. Therefore, we highly recommend carpooling or renting a car for airport and venue transportation. While Ubers and Lyfts are an option, they might not be as readily available.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

In lieu of a traditional wedding party, we invite you to reflect our wedding theme through your attire. Recognizing this unique request, we kindly ask guests to dress in shades of green, blue, or beige. For ladies, consider stylish dresses, jumpsuits, or separates in various shades of blue, green, or beige. Opt for knee-length, tea-length, or floor-length dresses in colors such as navy, emerald, sage green, aqua, or champagne beige. Add a touch of glamour with satin finishes, floral prints, or subtle embellishments, evoking a classic yet modern tea party vibe. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear tailored suits or dress trousers paired with a smart blazer. Timeless choices like navy, gray, or charcoal gray suits are particularly fitting. Coordinate your ensemble with shades of blue, green, or beige to complement the theme. We eagerly anticipate your elegantly dressed presence as we create cherished memories on our special day.
