FAQs
Question
What date should I RSVP by?
Answer
We kindly ask that you RSVP as soon as you can so we can continue our planning process accordingly. However, the deadline is May 7, 2026! If we haven't received your RSVP by the deadline, we will have to assume you aren't able to attend (and will be missed!)
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
To RSVP, click the RSVP tab and type in the first and last name listed on your invitation. If your invitation was addressed to multiple people, type in the name of one member of your party to proceed to RSVP for everyone in the party. Having any issues with the RSVP process? Make sure you're entering your first and last name as listed on your invitation envelope!
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We strongly encourage guests to plan to arrive at 6pm. Ample parking is available for guests who chose to drive. Guests will be seated at 6:20pm and the ceremony will begin at 6:30pm.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We kindly request a sort of black-tie optional -- with two exceptions. Men, no tuxedos necessary - a suit is perfect. Secondly, while black-tie traditionally leans towards dark colors, we welcome all colors and shades (with the exception of whites, ivories, and creams for the ladies, of course!) ! We envision this entailing: - Suits and ties - Floor-length gowns - Formal pantsuit/jumpsuit Again, even though guidelines 'typically' suggest it, please don't feel limited to dark colors! Want more guidance? Read more here: https://www.brides.com/black-tie-optional-wedding-attire-4800698 We do expect that it may be rather hot before the sun goes down. Historically, June days have a high of 85 degrees and low of 53 degrees. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner will be outdoors and post-dinner dancing will take place indoors in the barrel room (with access to the courtyard for those who want a breath of fresh air). Since the sun generally doesn't set up 8:30pm, expect sunny weather for the majority of the night. As of April, the forecast for the day is a high of 91 degrees and a low of 57 degrees.
