FAQs

Question

How are we addressing COVID concerns?

Answer

We are asking all people who attend our wedding in-person to take a COVID test and receive results within 72 hours of the wedding. If taking a COVID test is not an option for you, please let us know. People who have been vaccinated will also be asked to take a test. Thank you again so much for your love and support. This has been — and remains — an extremely difficult time and we so value all of the empathy and grace you have given us as we do our best to start our marriage in a way that doesn't endanger the lives of those we love best in the world. Thank you and we will be in touch.

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Posting photos on social media apps during the event is strictly PROHIBITED. Please refrain from posting photos on social media apps until 24 hours after the event. It's a private estate and we want to respect the owner's privacy and security. We kindly ask that you do not post the name, location, or the address of the property.

2. What will the weather be like this time of year?
