FAQs
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
An Important Note About Little Ones The Plan: We love your kids, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. The Goal: We want you to relax, have a drink, and enjoy a parents' night off! The Exceptions: You will see two special young faces. Our 4-year-old niece Charlotte is celebrating with us, and our 15-year-old videographer assistant, Lila. Thank You: We hope this advance notice lets you plan for a fun, worry-free evening out! We appreciate your understanding and cannot wait to party with you!
Question
Help! What should I wear?
Answer
For guys, a great dress shirt and tie is perfect, or step it up with a sharp suit. For ladies, think chic cocktail dresses or sleek midi styles. For the fashion lovers, lean into vibrant colors and bold, structural shapes to celebrate the end of summer. The vibe? Think classy, elegant, and energetic. A sophisticated look to toast the end of summer. Pretty please, try to skip the jeans, t-shirts, and casual sneakers.
