Question

COVID-19

Answer

We are monitoring the pandemic and CDC guidelines very carefully. At this time, we are hopeful for normalcy in October. We are very thankful that a large number of our friends and family have already been vaccinated. We are encouraging all of our guests to continue to wear masks and get vaccinated when presented the opportunity. UPDATE 8/2021: We have decided that we will be requiring our guests to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and requiring proof of vaccinations. We have family and guests who are immunocompromised, and have young children attending our wedding. We not only care about our own health and safety, but our guests' health and safety as well.
