FAQs

Question

What is the dress code your wedding?

Answer

Our dress code is formal and dressy. Floor-length or long formal dresses, elegant jumpsuits, dress shirts with jackets, and suits are all perfect choices. The celebration takes place in December in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where our moody, gothic-Christmas palette—deep reds, black, gold, and dark green—will set the tone. Guests are welcome to embrace these rich, romantic colors if they’d like, but it’s completely optional. Above all, wear something you feel confident and comfortable celebrating in all night.

Question

Are plus-ones and children allowed?

Answer

To keep our celebration intimate and intentional, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on each invitation. Our wedding will be an adults-only evening, and we truly appreciate your understanding. Your presence means so much to us, and we can’t wait to celebrate together.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! We’ll be offering a wide assortment of unlimited wine, beer, cider, and seltzer throughout the evening—plenty of options for everyone to enjoy. For guests who prefer cocktails or spirits, the bar will also have an extensive liquor selection available for purchase by cash or credit. We hope this mix gives everyone something they’ll love as we celebrate together!
