Q + A

We’re so excited to celebrate with you! Here are some details to help you prepare for the big day. If your question isn’t listed, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to help!
Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We’re only able to accommodate the guests specifically listed on your invitation. For example, if you’re invited with a plus one, your envelope will say “Mr./Ms. [Your Name] and Guest.” You’ll also see your full party listed when you RSVP online. We wish we could invite everyone, but we hope you understand our need to keep the guest list intimate so we can celebrate with our closest friends and family.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

We absolutely love children and are thrilled to celebrate with the little ones listed on the invitation. To keep our celebration more intimate, we’re only able to accommodate the children specifically named. We so appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate together!

Question

How should I RSVP?

Answer

At this time, we have not opened the RSVP section of our website. It will be available once we have sent out formal invitations. If you know at the time of receiving your Save the Date that you won’t be able to make it, please send your regrets to the couple. To RSVP, go to the RSVP page on this website once it is available. Please submit your RSVP by March 15, 2026 so we can plan accordingly!

Question

What happens if I do not RSVP in time?

Answer

If we haven’t received your RSVP by March 15, 2026, we’ll have to count your response as a “No.” We’ll miss you, but we need to provide our final guest count to the venue and vendors. Thank you for understanding and responding on time!

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Yes, we will have a wedding registry! You can find all the details on the Registry page of our website!

Question

Is the venue indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both! The ceremony will take place outdoors on grass, so we recommend comfortable shoes (especially if you're wearing heels). Seating will be on benches. The reception will follow at the same venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! We’re asking guests to wear Garden Party Attire—semi-formal, colorful, and fun. Think light or bright spring colors (florals, pastels, cheerful hues). We kindly ask that you avoid black, white, Hawaiian shirts and jeans. You’ll find more outfit details and inspiration on our Dress Code page!

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 2:00 PM. Please arrive by 1:30 PM to allow time for parking, getting seated, and settling in before we say “I do!” If you arrive at 2 PM or later, you will be asked to stay in your car out by the front gate until the ceremony is over. This is a rule from the venue, so be sure to be on time.

Question

Is there parking available?

Answer

Yes! When you arrive, a parking attendant will direct you to the designated grass lot at the venue.

Question

Can I take photos and videos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that all phones and cameras stay tucked away during the ceremony. We’ve hired a professional photographer and videographer to capture the moment, and we’d love for everyone to be fully present (and phone-free) as we say “I do.”

Question

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

Answer

After the ceremony—yes! We kindly ask that guests wait until the day after the wedding to share photos or videos so we can all soak up the celebration in real time. Thank you for helping us keep the moment special!

Question

Will there be a full meal at the reception?

Answer

We’ll be celebrating with a cocktail-style reception following the ceremony! There won’t be a seated dinner, but we’ll have plenty of delicious heavy hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and desserts to enjoy throughout the afternoon. Come ready to mingle, snack, and celebrate with us!

Question

Will there be a bar?

Answer

Yes! We’ll have an open bar with beer, wine, seltzers, and a variety of non-alcoholic options. Please note: Our venue does not allow liquor to be served or brought in by guests.

Question

What’s the policy on smoking or vaping at the wedding?

Answer

Smoking and vaping are not allowed inside the venue or at any of the outdoor spaces. However, there is a designated area outside at the gazebo for guests who wish to smoke or vape.
