The Wedding Website of Thad Bench, ll and Emma Rathmann
Question

Will there be gluten and allergy free food?

Answer

Yes! We love y'all and want you to be able to eat whatever you like. The majority of the food will be gluten free, nut free, and peanut free :) If you have any questions, please let us know!

Question

How will guests staying in Annapolis get to the venue?

Answer

We will have shuttles to bring guests to and from Gibson Island and Annapolis! You are more than welcome to drive yourselves, however parking at the venue is limited so we would recommend using the shuttle. We will have one bus picking up guests from The Westin at 3:30pm on Saturday, and a second bus pickup from the Graduate at 3:40pm on Saturday.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire is perfect for the venue. The ceremony will be outside, and when the sun goes down it might get chilly. We recommend bringing a layer for warmth!

Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

We are so excited to see everyone, but we are only able to accommodate the children in our wedding party.

Question

Will there be other events around the wedding day?

Answer

Yes! Welcome drinks and appetizers will be at Leo Annapolis on West Street (212 West Street, Annapolis, MD, 21401) for anyone who can make it! The gathering will start at 6pm and end at 9:30pm. The Bride's parents (Mary Anne and Rick) will be hosting brunch on Sunday, June 2nd from 10:30am-1:00pm.

Question

Can we stay somewhere else?

Answer

Yes! Annapolis has many Airbnb and VRBO options available for rent if you would like to book a place separate from the hotel. If anyone is considering this, please let us know which one you are looking at so we can advise you if it's a good option!
