Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

All young kids are welcome to attend and may even receive an invitation of their own! We do just ask that if they are disruptive during the ceremony that you pull them aside to calm them down before returning to your seats to preserve the magic of the day.

Question

Your invitation/RSVP will specify whether you get a plus one or not. We ask that anyone who does not receive an invitation or plus one status please not attend, as we are limited in the number of guests we can accommodate.
