Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We kindly ask that all guests arrive by 4:30 P.M. to get situated before the ceremony and allow enough time to park your car and sign the guestbook before the ceremony begins at 5 PM.

Question

What is your timeline of events?

Answer

Our *unplugged* ceremony will begin promptly at 5 PM. and will be followed by cocktail hour, dinner at 7 PM., a great dance party afterwards and then to conclude, a snazzy sparkler sendoff at around 9:45 PM. Ceremony will be held outdoors at "The Garden" and the reception will be held indoors in the "Cameo Ballroom".

Question

What is an unplugged ceremony?

Answer

We kindly request that you put away your cameras, phones, and refrain from using social media until after the ceremony so that you can be fully present with us. We promise to share the beautiful pictures taken by our professional photographer afterwards, and all devices are welcome at our reception!
