FAQs

Question

What should we wear?

Answer

We’d love for everyone to dress nicely, but there’s no need to go full black tie! Think semi-formal or dressy casual Guys: dress pants with a polo or button-up shirt are perfect (no suits required unless you want to!). Ladies: feel free to wear dresses, sundresses, or anything comfortable and put-together that you feel good in. Just one important note: Please avoid wearing white, ivory, or cream colored attire.
