We are not requiring COVID tests, but we will be checking temperatures of anyone on-site that day--all guests, vendors, and staff. We are following CDC guidelines and will not permit anyone on-site with a fever of 100.4 or greater. We are excited to celebrate with you, but we want everyone to be safe, so if you have a fever or symptoms of COVID, please stay home.
You are important to us. Our day will be special if you are there and you are safe. We will do everything we can to ensure your well-being. With that in mind... ---All reception tables will be spaced to ensure appropriate social distance of six feet. ---Great Marsh has covered, outdoor reception space that we will use to allow for even more social distancing. ---Guests must wear a mask when indoors and not eating or drinking. Masks outside are encouraged, if you are closer than six feet from others. ---We will provide masks, but you are welcome to bring your own. ---All Great Marsh and catering staff must have their temperatures taken prior to the wedding. ---All food and drinks will be served my masked and gloved staff. ---Hand sanitization stations will be available at various spots around the Estate. ---All bathrooms will be cleaned every hour. ---Our wedding planner, Nora, is the designated Covid-19 coordinator. You can speak to her, if at any time you have concerns.

Formal. A tuxedo or formal dark suit and tie for the gents. For her, a long evening dress, dressy suit or formal cocktail-length dress. And, the grass may be a little soft, so you might want to rethink stilettos!
In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of relaxation we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the evening off!
