Question
A note about gifts
Answer
The greatest gift we could ask for is to celebrate our wedding day surrounded by the love of our friends and family. If you’d like to honor us with a gift, a monetary contribution towards our honeymoon fund or home fund under the registry tab would warmly appreciated. Our venmo and zelle information are also included below. There will be a gift table at the reception for cards, red envelopes, and well wishes. Thank you for celebrating this special moment with us!

Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive by 3:30 PM to allow time to get settled- the ceremony will start promptly at 4PM. Welcome drinks will be served upon arrival.
Question
Is there a shuttle?
Answer
We recommend using Uber or Lyft to arrive at the venue. For everyone’s safety, complimentary shuttles will be available at the end of the evening for guests who have been enjoying the bar, returning to the hotel. The hotel bar will remain open late for anyone who’d like to continue the celebration.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We kindly request semi-formal attire for our celebration - classy dresses, jumpsuits, or suits that feel festive yet comfortable. Elevate the evening with a stylish look fit for a night to remember. March weather can be unpredictable, so we recommend bringing a light coat or wrap for the outdoor ceremony. And of course, wear something you’ll be comfortable dancing in! Please refrain from wearing colors traditionally worn by the bride such as white, ivory, or cream colors. The groom will be wearing navy blue. A second photographer will be around to capture guest portraits - so please dress to impress! These photos will be shared to everyone once we receive the full gallery. Blankets will be provided by the venue to help keep you warm but must be returned by the end of the night.
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
We’ll say “I do” outside (weather permitting) and then head indoors to celebrate! The ceremony space has grass, gravel, and a few rocks, so think festive but comfy shoes.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes! You will find details about our hotel block under the Travel tab.
Question
What if I have dietary restrictions?
Answer
We’ll have a delicious dinner buffet and a dessert bar for everyone to enjoy. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know when you RSVP—we want to make sure everyone leaves happy, full, and ready to dance. :)
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
To help us celebrate comfortably, we are only able to include the children whose names are listed on the invitation. We are grateful for your understanding and can’t wait to see you on our big day.
Question
Can I bring a plus 1?
Answer
We can’t wait to celebrate with you! Due to space and planning, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on your invitation. If your invitation includes a guest by name, we’d love for them to join. Thank you so much for understanding!
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes, free parking is included at the venue. If needed, cars may be left overnight but must be picked up by 10 am the following day.
Question
Can I take photos or post on social media?
Answer
We love your enthusiasm for capturing the day! For the ceremony, let’s all be present—phones and cameras away—so our photographer can snag the perfect shots. Once the party starts, snap away and please tag us on social media!
Question
I still have questions, what is the best way to contact you?
Answer
If you have any questions as the celebration approaches, please feel free to reach out through text or call — we’d love to hear from you. :)
