Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 p.m., so please plan to arrive by 4:00 p.m. to park, find your seat, and get settled before the festivities begin.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our dress code is summer semi-formal. Think pastels, florals, and light, airy fabrics perfect for a warm June day. We want you to be comfortable while looking your best, so we recommend dressing for the summer heat. Ladies, flowy dresses or elegant jumpsuits are great options, and gentlemen, lightweight suits or dress shirts with slacks will keep you cool.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited capacity, we can only accommodate those listed on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your kiddos! However, this celebration will be mostly for the grown-ups. Only the children named on the invitation are included—thank you for understanding and helping us maintain our very limited guest count

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that phones are put away and on silent during the ceremony. We have a wonderful photographer, and will share all of the photos and videos with you, but please feel free to take and share as many pictures as you can following the ceremony!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there’s plenty of parking available at the venue! Vehicles can be left overnight in the front parking lot but must be picked up by 11:00 a.m. the following day. For anyone who prefers not to drive, Uber and Lyft are both available in the area for convenient pick-up and drop-off.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors, or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held in our venue’s gorgeous open-air chapel — it’s covered but will still feel warm and sunny. Cocktail hour and the bar will be outdoors, while dinner and dancing will take place inside the beautiful, air-conditioned reception hall.
