FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Our ceremony begins at 5:00pm, so we kindly request that you arrive 20-30 minutes early to assure you don't miss anything. This will also give you time to park and find your seat. If you arrive after 5:00pm, you will not be able to enter and will have to wait until the start of cocktail hour.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress to impress in your best formal or cocktail attire. Please no jeans/denim and avoid shades of white. The ceremony will be held in an outdoor courtyard. Need inspo? Here's a Pinterest board to reference: https://www.pinterest.com/charleetaunton/wedding-guest-inspo/
