FAQs

Question

What should I expect the temperature to be?

Answer

Average temperatures in early May range from 55 degrees F to 75 degrees F with mild humidity. It is recommended to check the weather as there may be chances of rain at that time of year.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Spring casual: sundresses, light suits, or dressy separates. The mountains can be cool in the evenings so bring a light jacket or wrap. We recommend wearing shoes without pointy heels as there are gravel walkways and grass you will have to navigate to get to the ceremony / cocktail hour area from the parking lot, and then from the cocktail area to the dinner/dancing area. A golf cart will be available to assist those with mobility limitations.

Question

What is the plan if it rains?

Answer

The show will go on rain or shine. Umbrellas will be provided for the ceremony if it rains. Depending on the severity of the rain, cocktail hour may be moved to under the tent or in the barn. Dinner will be served under a tent. There are gravel walkways between different parts of the venue, so please wear appropriate shoes for navigating the grounds, particularly if there is inclement weather.
