They may attend the ceremony at the church. However, we want the reception to be your night off!

We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home during the reception so you can celebrate with us. Thank you in advance! :)

Question

What is proper church etiquette?

Answer

Silence cell phones. Men remove hats prior to entry of the church. For those that have small children that get restless or disruptive, there is a cry room with speakers so you can still hear the ceremony.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal, please.

Question

Will the ceremony & reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony is indoors. Our reception will be tent-covered on a lawn. There will be yard games. Weather in June is typically quite lovely with high 50s but we can still get wind or rain so bringing a light jacket might not be a bad idea just in case. Highly recommend monitoring the weather to plan accordingly.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

After the ceremony, the bridal party will be taking pictures nearby. Guests can head straight to the reception where we will be serving finger foods and beverages. DJ Biz will be there playing some tunes.

Question
