Question

Do you have any additional guidelines for COVID-19?

Answer

UPDATED 5/7: Please see guidance on vaccinations below. If you are unable to get vaccinated, we ask all guests to take a COVID-19 test in the days leading up to the wedding weekend on Friday, May 14.  Please time your test for Friday, May 7 so you have your results in time for the wedding.  If your test is positive or you've been in contact with someone who has been positive in the last 14 days (starting April 30), we ask that you please stay home and take care of yourselves.  Additionally, if you are feeling unwell or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, please do not attend.

UPDATED 5/7: Vaccination is preferred, if possible.  The vaccine is now available to anyone over the age of 18. We greatly encourage guests to get the vaccine as it is available near you.
