Due to venue capacity and contractual agreements, we can only accommodate guests that receive a formal invite. All invitee names for both the ceremony and reception have been entered in a database and must be selected upon online RSVP. Plus ones/additional guest names that aren't already in the database cannot be entered manually. Please contact Caleb or Jordan if you have additional questions regarding the invitation or RSVP processes.
Please see the hotels listed under the 'Travel' page on this website.
There are parking lots available on site for both Buhl Mansion and Tara - A Country Inn. Parking is free, but you should still plan to arrive early in order to ensure a spot at both venues.
You can RSVP online by using our website: please see the 'RSVP' page. You can also confirm your attendance by contacting Jordan, Caleb, Jody Lucas or Margaret Clark if you are unable to RSVP online.
Please plan to arrive and travel between venues and lodging in your own source of transportation. Shuttles will not be provided: a car is needed. Please have a designated driver if you plan on enjoying cocktails.
This will be easier to confirm closer to the time of the event, but we will do our best to work with our vendors beforehand to accommodate specific restrictions that are communicated to us in a timely fashion. Please make note of any dietary restrictions when RSVPing for the reception.
