The health and safety of our family and friends is our highest priority. To ensure the well-being of all, we expect, and are reasonably sure, that everyone is vaccinated. That said, the District of Columbia is requiring all individuals--regardless of vaccination status--to wear a mask indoors when not eating or drinking. This mandate applies to all wedding guests and vendor staff. Please bring your own mask to the venue. There will be some additional on-hand for breakages or folks who forget. The ceremony is outdoors so masks are not required. The cocktail reception is on the balcony/outdoor space so masks are not required there either. Dinner and dancing are inside. Guests will not be socially distant at tables nor will that be possible on the dance floor. Use your own judgement so that you feel safe. Note: the photographer will be taking photo's throughout the day. If you want your face to be seen fully you will have to decide whether your mask is on all the time or not
