Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we adore your little ones, our venue isn’t safe for children due to its layout and surroundings. For this reason, only some immediate family members with children will receive invitations that include their kids. If your invitation lists your children by name, they are welcome to attend—however, we kindly ask that you arrange for a nanny or childcare provider to accompany you. Per the venue requirements, all children must be supervised at all times on the property. Nanny Service - phone: (664) 151-8708 (WhatsApp) To learn more about our nanny service packages, please contact the number above. Package options and pricing vary based on the number of children requiring care. We truly appreciate your understanding as we work to create a safe and enjoyable day for everyone!

Question

Can I bring a plus 1 or an additional guest with me?

Answer

We have created our guest list with much thought and love in order to share our special day with those closest to us. Each Save the Date was addressed to everyone who is invited to our wedding.
