FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code is Garden Formal. Think polished and elegant with a cheerful outdoor twist. Dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy separates are perfect for women; a suit or dress slacks with a jacket are great for men. Bright colors are encouraged to reflect the joy of the day! We kindly ask that no one wear white so the bride may stand out.

Question

Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outdoors, followed by an outdoor cocktail hour. The reception will then move indoors for dinner and dancing… lots of dancing! Please keep in mind that the ceremony will be on gravel and cocktail hour on a combination of grass area and a cement porch/walkway, so choose your shoes accordingly.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you’ll enjoy the opportunity to be kid free, relax, and celebrate with us!

Question

Am I allowed to bring a guest?

Answer

Due to our extremely limited guest count we kindly ask that only the guests listed on your invitation attend. If your invitation includes a guest, it will say so.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 20–30 minutes before the ceremony begins. This will give you plenty of time to park, find your seat, and settle in before we begin. ***If you arrive late PLEASE be respectful and wait until the ceremony finishes to join the other guest.

Question

Where should I stay if I’m traveling from out of town?

Answer

There are several great hotel options in Madison. We’ll share recommendations and room block details on our Travel page! To remain in safe areas please choose one of the options on our travel page.

Question

Is it an open bar or cash bar?

Answer

It will be an open bar—our treat to you! Please celebrate with us responsibly!

Question

Am I allowed to bring my own alcohol?

Answer

We kindly ask that guests do not bring outside alcohol. Our venue does not permit BYOB, and we will have an open bar available for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for understanding!
