Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We adore your little ones, but to keep the reception intimate and stress-free, we kindly ask that only infants (lap-held or nursing) attend. We hope this gives parents a night to relax and celebrate with us. A private space will be available for nursing or a quiet moment if needed, just ask Emily or Nick or a venue staff member for directions.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We're asking guests to wear formal black attire for the reception. Think black suits, black ties, black dresses or cocktail attire-all in black please. This will help us create a timeless, elegant atmosphere for the evening. Feel free to wear whatever accessories you'd like, we just ask you stick black as clothing attire color.
