Question

Is there transportation to and from the venue?

Right now there is not. I would suggest taking an Uber or Lyft to the venue. We will be serving alcohol and want to make sure everyone gets back to their homes safely.

Question

Answer

We recommend that you arrive 30-45 minutes before the start of the ceremony, to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled!

Answer

The ceremony will be held outside, if the weather permits, and the reception will be both indoors and outside. The outdoor pavilion area will be available until 10PM.

Question

What type of food and drink will be served during the cocktail hour and reception?

Answer

We will be serving light passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, followed by buffet style dinner and dessert, as well as a carving station.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices be put away and on silent during the ceremony. Why? We have hired a professional to capture some of the most important moments of our lives, and we would hate to have a well-meaning person's phone blocking that moment for them to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want! We promise to share the ceremony photos as soon as we get them!

Question

Answer

There will ample parking available. The venue offers free parking both in front and to the side of the venue.
