Both! The ceremony is in the venue's outdoor chapel, which is covered from weather. The venue has contingencies for inclement weather. If it's chilly, we'll make sure guests stay warm! Cocktail hour is in a covered porch that has heating and fans, and the reception is inside their ballroom.

Question

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Answer

We kindly ask you that you keep our wedding ceremony "unplugged" and refrain from taking any photos or videos. We have wonderful photographers capturing this special day and we want our guests to truly be in the moment with us. BUT! Take as many photos and videos as you want during cocktail hour and the reception, and please, please, please share them with us! We will have QR codes to a Google Drive folder for photo sharing. If posting on social media, use the hashtag #RnT.

Where can the registry be found and where should we bring/send our wedding gift?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, you can have it delivered to our home address found on the return address of the invitation. A wedding card box will be at our reception. You can find our complete wedding registry here on our website (and purchase directly from our wish list) under the "Registry" tab.

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus-one?

Answer

We are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding, as we'd like to keep the guests list just to those who know us well. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.

Question

Am I allowed to bring my children?

We love your children, but this event is 21 and over with the exception of the ring bearer and flower girl.
