Question
What will the celebration be like?
Answer
While we are skipping a traditional ceremony, we will still have some traditional wedding moments. Our main focus is spending quality time with our friends and family while enjoying great food, drinks, music, and celebrating together!
Question
Why aren’t you having a ceremony?
Answer
We’ve chosen to celebrate our vows more intimately. We will be having a private ceremony on Block Island, Rhode Island, where we’ll exchange vows surrounded by our closest family. This felt like the most meaningful way for us to start our marriage, while still celebrating in a way that feels relaxed and true to who we are.
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
Please note the reception will be adults only. Due to the outdoor setting of a private residence and the presence of a pond, we are unable to safely accommodate children at the reception. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating together.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to space and planning considerations, only guests named on the invitation are invited. We appreciate your understanding and help with this.
