Question

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Answer

King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk! Guard: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here? Guard: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? King Arthur: Please! Guard: Am I right? King Arthur: I'm not interested! [A second guard approaches the parapet] Guard 2: It could be carried by an African swallow! Guard 1: Oh yeah. An African swallow, maybe -- but not a European swallow, that's my point. Guard 2: Oh yeah, I agree with that.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Please make us aware so that we can make some plans and inform the venue. When picking our celebration menu we tried to be as mindful of allergies as we could. Please note that the kitchen is shared with their restaurant upstairs and we cannot guarantee an allergen free environment.

We have selected the Hilton Garden Inn which is about a 8 minute car ride to the venue. Details can be found on the travel page. There are also several Air B&Bs, as well as VRBOs in the area!
