Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

We ask that everyone send in their RSVPs by September 17th, 2026. This is important so that we can provide an accurate headcount for the food required to serve our guests. Even if you are NOT able to join us, we would still greatly appreciate the heads up.

Question

Can I bring a plus one? / Are my kids invited?

Answer

Due to strict capacity limits at our venue, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate all guests and children. We have limited our headcount to those specifically listed on your invitation and the children of our immediate family and closest friends. On the RSVP page of this website you can check the exact names of everyone included in your party. We truly appreciate your understanding.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail or Semi-Formal Attire is encouraged. We kindly ask guests to dress respectfully for our church ceremony. As for the reception, we want everyone to be comfortable! If that means swapping heels for sneakers or changing into your favorite pair of jeans, go for it! We can't wait to dance the night away with you! BONUS POINTS: Wear your favorite crazy, colorful, or patterned socks! We'd love to see your personality shine through - and they'll make for some great photos and conversation starters.
