Question

What is the date and start time?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 4 pm on Saturday, December 26, 2026. (what a beautiful date, huh?) Dinner and reception to follow.

Question

What time should we arrive?

Answer

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the ceremony start time.

Question

Is the ceremony and reception in the same place?

Answer

YEP! You won't have to worry about traveling to different locations. Everything will take place at the beautiful Howey Mansion.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and dinner will take place outdoors. Cocktail hour and reception will be inside!

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Formal attire! We're going for a classy, elegant, and festive vibe. We'd love for our guests to dress up and celebrate with us... but make sure you're still able to DROP IT LOW on the dance floor! Ladies: floor-length gowns are welcome but not required. Cocktail dresses, midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits are good options too. Gentlemen: suites or dress pants with a button-down and/or jacket.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love the tiny humans!! That said, children are invited for close friends and family only. If your invitation stated your last name + family, your kids are invited (if you want). Or you can use this opportunity to enjoy a grown-up night out ;) Feel free to reach out if you'd like further confirmation.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

If you already know you will be attending, we would love to know as soon as possible! The official RSVP date is November 1, 2026.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Head to the RSVP tab on this website and make it official! Please confirm your name is spelled correctly and be sure to include all guests in your party. And... since it's the holiday season... the earlier you RSVP, the more we love you!! Just kidding... kind of :)

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We'll share local hotel recommendations nearby (and any hotel block info if we do one) on the website as it gets closer! Of course, you are welcome to reserve any nearby lodging that works for you!

Question

Is there parking on-site?

Answer

Yes!

Question

Will there be transportation/shuttles?

Answer

Transportation for the day-of events aren't needed since everything is happening at one place, however, we may offer transportation services from our recommended hotel. We will update this section once we decide!
