Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress to impress, but stay comfortable! We’d love for everyone to wear something dressy—no casual outfits, please. Sandals are fine, but heels may be tricky on the grass. Bring a light layer for the air-conditioned indoor areas, and since the ceremony is outdoors, don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen. Bug spray might come in handy later in the evening by the outdoor firepit. After the ceremony, feel free to change into comfy clothes for outdoor games. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Will it be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

If the weather is nice, the ceremony will be outside. The reception will take place outside and inside, with air conditioner and indoor restrooms. Our reception offers plenty of space and activities for everyone to enjoy! Dance the night away in the separate reception hall with DJ music, or relax by the indoor fireplace in the bar area, complete with cozy couches. Outside, you can enjoy yard games, unwind by the outdoor fireplace on the deck, take a peaceful stroll through the wooded ceremony space, or visit the beach. We’ll also have plenty of delicious food for you to enjoy. Whether you’re dancing, relaxing, or just soaking in the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone!

Answer

Please plan to arrive no earlier than [TBD] to allow us time for final setup and preparation. If you happen to arrive early, feel free to explore some local spots like South Beach or take a stroll around town! There’s plenty to see and do nearby while we put the finishing touches on the celebration. We can’t wait to see you there!

Question

What time will your wedding reception end? Is there an after-party?

Answer

The reception will end at 11 PM, so we can wrap up the evening and get ready to head out. As much as we’d love to keep the party going, we’ve got some very excited German Shepherds—Winston and Willow—waiting to celebrate their new “Mr. and Mrs.!” After the reception, we’ll be heading home to love up our pups, so we ask that you join us in wrapping things up at 11. Thank you for making this day so special!

Question

Is it ok to take photos during the ceremony and post pictures on social media?

Answer

We’re having an unplugged ceremony, so we kindly ask that you put away all phones and cameras to let our photographer work their magic. We want everyone to be fully present for this special moment. During the reception, feel free to use the disposable cameras we’ve provided, or your own phone to capture fun moments! Please refrain from posting on social media as we value our privacy and wish to share our memories in our own time. Thanks for understanding!
