Can I bring a plus one?

Question

Children?

Answer

The couple welcomes the children that are listed as guests (they will be listed on the invite as well) just a reminder that it is the woods. Every child needs to be with an adult to ensure their safety during the stay due to there being a coy pond and the woods around the venue.

What type of food will be available?

Answer

The couple plans on having Costco Pizza the night before the wedding and BBQ for the wedding. Feel free to bring extra drinks and food for other meals and snacks.
