Question

Is there a dress code?Is there a dress code?

Answer

We ask that you dress in formal or semi-formal attire. Please keep in mind that the venue consists of a large gravel driveway and parking area. The walk to the ceremony and reception consists of natural forest trails with a main 25 foot long trail leading to the ceremony that has (approximately) a 10-15 degree slope. We ask that you wear the appropriate shoes for this type of terrain and to be mindful of the possibility of cold weather as nightfall approaches. We recommend dressing in layers of clothing. For example, for women, a formal dress or gown with a warm peacoat style jacket or shawl. Another suggestion for our female guests is to wear dressy or formal style boots instead of stilettos or pumps. If you do choose to wear heels, we recommend something comfortable, closed-toed, and secure on your feet that you feel confident in. We will have blankets, fire pits, and patio heaters to help keep you comfortable and warm, as well as a large wedding tent to keep our guests out of any potential rain or wind.
