FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code for the wedding?
Answer
Formal attire encouraged — we recommend women wear midi or floor-length dresses and men wear a suit, dress pants, and tie. Please avoid white or cream, bright colors (reds, neon, etc.), loud patterns, and light blue (as our bridal party will be wearing this color). The ceremony will be held on a grassy area, so please choose footwear accordingly. Think classic, elegant, and timeless...
Question
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Our wedding ceremony will be located outdoors facing the lake with a stone path, but grass surrounding the chairs. The cocktail hour will be on an outdoor patio facing the lake, the reception dinner will be in a tent, and then following guests will move into the large barn adjacent to the tent for dancing.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 4:30 PM sharp; staff will guide guests to seats prior to start of ceremony so please plan accordingly. The pre-ceremony bar will open at 3:30 PM, so please feel free to arrive any time after that to hang out and enjoy the view of the lake while you wait for our ceremony to start.
Question
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Answer
Yes! There are ramps to take for wheelchairs and there will also be a golf cart available to assist people between the ceremony and reception area if needed. When you arrive, look for a staff member to assist you. If you want us to provide your information to the staff prior to the event, please let us know so we can arrange accordingly.
