Though many are expecting a destination wedding...To accommodate our close family and friends locally, it will be held on our Estate Grounds. To access the grounds, you MUST be on the verified guest list and be transported over by our transportation company. To maintain the quality of the Grounds, no guests or wedding party member will be permitted to drive direct to the location. Pickup and schedule of transport company will be posted in the final attendees group.
Yes, the required dress-code for entry is formal and en Blanc (white). No blue jeans, hats, or loud colored shoes. No solid colors other than white. Any blatant solid colors other than the requested white will result in non-entry.
We love the kids...however this is an adult only affair. To accommodate the quality of the event, other than those that are the children of the Bride and Groom, and already DIRECTLY approved wedding party. Unfortunately no other children will be allowed. We hope this advance notice means you’re able to let your hair down and celebrate with us on the day!
The bride and groom kindly request an unplugged ceremony. The greatest gift you can give us this day is to be truly present, so please mute and put away all phones and cameras to enjoy this special moment with us. We've hired an amazing wedding photography company who will be capturing the way the wedding looks — and we're inviting each of you to sit back, relax, and just enjoy how the wedding feels. We want your faces on camera, not your devices. We are respectfully asking that everyone assist in not allowing flash, random ringtones, etc by leaving them in your pockets or bags during the ceremony. Though our I Do’s are unplugged, our reception is not. Once our vows are exchanged, you’re free to take a shot!
Yes, all attendees must RSVP. No exceptions. There will be a list checked before the transport departs to the venue. Guests are instructed to park at the designated lot and board the bus. No vehicles are allowed direct at the venue. Due to the overwhelming early response, the ability to attend in person is closed unfortunately. We love you all, so please do not be offended or take this personally. If you know and respect us well, then you know we both have a large family and very supportive friends. We must accommodate them first and slots were quickly filled.
For friends and family who have expressed an interest, we’ve created an online registry here on this site by going up to the "Menu" and clicking the "Registry" list. There are also funds to contribute to as a virtual wishing well. Many people say "We don't know what to get you guys". Everything we need is there.
Yes! We will have a full staff of security to: 1. Check RSVP names at the door and provide bands for seating. 2. Check for any weapons. Unfortunately in these times we live in, you can never be too cautious. No weapons are allowed. If you feel you need a weapon then you should probably stay home. 3. Silently remove any individual who causes a scene, drama, negative energy etc. Yes you can and will be removed for ANY negative energy. 4. Ensure our requests are adhered to, and that the venue is respected. This is a beautiful and stress-free day, however based on past events and situations you can never be too sure. We want our guests to also enjoy and get lost in the day, not focused on other guests.
Unfortunately, No and No. Please respect our day by understanding that none of the requests will be bent. Children/pre-teens/ babies will not be allowed at the door. We are at our max capacity for the venue. We can't "fit" anyone in and no one gets an automatic plus 1.
To all family and friends, though we appreciate your help, ideas, and suggestions, our wedding is professionally managed and we have everything covered to match our vision.

We are currently 2 months out. A negative COVID test taken 72 hours prior to the wedding must be presented with a negative result prior to entry. Anyone refusing to test cannot enter. This will not be a super spreader event.
Yes. The transport is set to arrive and has a cutoff time for last drop off. If you do not make it by that time, you will not be able to attend the event for the day. The bus will begin dropping people back off to the lot where their cars are parked after dinner.
