A few notes about COVID and our wedding. “IT AIN’T OVER.” While we’re hopeful that COVID will no longer be a concern by our wedding day, we also want to make sure you feel comfortable celebrating with us. We’ve worked closely with our venue and catering team to create a COVID-safe plan for our wedding. This includes sanitizing stations around the venue, and having meals served rather than hosting a buffet line. Although masks are no longer required, we completely respect your decision to wear one if you choose to do so! If you are sick with the Flu, COVID, a cold, or anything than can get other guests sick, please stay home. We'll celebrate another time. Promise!
