FAQs
Question
What time is the wedding?
Answer
The ceremony will start right at 4 PM. We would suggest arriving between 3 & 3:30 PM to allow time to park, say hello to friends, and family and take your seat! The ceremony will be followed immediately by cocktail hour from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM with the reception to follow!
Question
When should I RSVP?
Answer
We ask that you RSVP by August 8th to ensure we can inform our vendors of our final counts! Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to adjust your RSVP after submitting.
Question
Can I camp?
Answer
There will be camping allowed but please check in with Elizabeth and John if you are planning to put up a tent or bring a camper as there are space concerns and we want to make sure your plans are accounted for! We ask that you arrive early to set up or plan to set up during cocktail hour or later in the reception. Set up during ceremony time will not be permitted.
Question
Where is the wedding? Is everything at the same location?
Answer
Yes! The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all take place at the Hemlocks Campground. The address is 101 Old Bristol Rd, New Hampton NH 03256. A very special campground we are fortunate enough to be utilizing (Thank you Sharon and Scott!!). Parking will be available but please carpool where it makes sense.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code is dressy casual. This is not a black tie event, we want you to be comfortable and ready to dance or play yard games! The wedding will take place in a grassy area, keep this in mind when choosing your shoes. The wedding will be partially outside (with the weather's cooperation) so please dress with this in mind. There will be heaters in the tent as September nights can get chilly. Sun dresses, jumpsuits, khakis, pants, and blouses are all great options. We ask that you leave your jeans and t-shirts at home. Please feel free to bring a sweatshirt or a change of clothes if you plan to stick around for the bonfire!
Question
Is the wedding outdoors?
Answer
We will be getting married at a very special campground. There will be a large heated event tent for the reception, but we do plan for the ceremony and cocktail hour to take place outdoors, weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather we will plan to host everything under the tent!
Question
What will we be eating?
Answer
We are working with a wonderful caterer, The Big Bad Food Truck and Eatery, to provide a upscale BBQ menu full of comfort food favorites! We are planning to serve appetizers during cocktail hour followed by a buffet dinner. Don't forget to save room for our dessert grazing table!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes, the drinks are on us, the hangover is on you!

Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
Our wedding registry is through Zola and you can find it right here on our wedding website! Included in our registry are two cash funds for our Honeymoon and home improvement projects which would be most appreciated. We have been living in our home for two years now and are slowly making it our own! We did include some physical gift as well for those who may desire to gift something more traditionally. Gifts are not expected, your presence at our wedding will be the greatest gift!
