Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we absolutely love your little ones, due to our venue's limited capacity we are only able to accommodate the children whose names are specifically listed on the invitation. We completely understand that arranging childcare isn't always easy. If you find that you are unable to attend because you are unable to secure a sitter, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. If space becomes available within our guest count, we would be more than happy to see if we can include your child(ren) in our celebration. Thank you so much for your understanding as we do our best to balance celebrating with the people we love while honoring our venue's attendance limitations.
