FAQs

Q: Why are there so many Richards? A: We don't... we don't know... Easier questions please! If you have any questions that have not been addressed below, please contact Everett or Chellie, preferably before July 15th.
Question

Are we allowed to bring our pets?

Answer

As much as we know that our pets are part of the family, our venue does not allow pets inside any of the buildings. Due to the expected warmth of the summer day we hope the beloved pets will be left somewhere cool and comfortable for the ceremony and reception. After the reception well-behaved and leashed pets are welcome outside to enjoy the rest of the day at the lake!

Question

Are there any vaccine or mask requirements or recommendations for this event?

Answer

The short answer is "no". While vaccination status guidelines and mask rules are not in place, we do hope that anyone who is not feeling well on the day of our event respectfully stays at home recovering so as not to expose our families and guests to any unwanted contagions.

Question

What are the wedding colors?

Answer

Forest green and slate blue with some wiggle room.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Please dress nicely for the ceremony (although not in white). After pictures the reception is more casual (jackets and ties off if you wish). We do ask for no bathing suits or Hawaiian shirts until after the reception please.

Question

What type of food will there be?

Answer

There will be an assortment of high quality wraps from Masonry Cafe in Yelm along with some side options, and of course there will be cake!

Question

Are there any vegetarian options?

Answer

Yes, one of the wraps is vegetarian. We'll also have fruit trays and veggies and hummus.

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Yes, we will have alcohol for guests who are of legal age. Please indulge responsibly.

Question

Is this a child-free wedding?

Answer

No! This is definitely not a child-free wedding! We are hoping to see many invited children with their parents! We are expecting infants, toddlers, and many other young people to attend!

Question

Will there be hired childcare?

Answer

No, we are not hiring childcare. We do ask that the parents or guardians of any young guests specifically attend to any littles you do bring. Since there is a large body of water and lots of wedding day commotion we want to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone.
