We kindly request formal attire—elegant, but not black tie.
While we’ll have a few special little guests, our wedding will otherwise be an adults-only celebration. Unless your child’s name is included on the invitation, we kindly ask that you make other arrangements. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Our venue is entirely indoors, so there’s no need to worry about the weather! Come ready to celebrate comfortably, rain or shine.
To keep our celebration intimate, we are only able to accommodate the guests listed on the invitation. If a plus one was included for you, it will be noted. We truly appreciate your understanding!
