Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We want nothing more than to have you there to celebrate with us! We know that finding childcare can be especially difficult when you’re traveling from out of town. If bringing your little ones is the only way you can make the trip, they are absolutely welcome. We just ask for your help in keeping them safe: Cherrywood Ranch is a beautiful, rustic estate with an open pool, so we kindly request that children stay under close parental supervision at all times.

Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We look forward to seeing everyone in their Garden Cocktail best. For Women: Think romantic midi or tea-length dresses, floral prints, or lace. Since we will be celebrating on the lawns of the Ranch, we recommend block heels, wedges, or dressy flats for your comfort on the grass. For Men: A suit or a sharp blazer and chinos is perfect. Feel free to incorporate a pop of color with your tie or pocket square! Weather: Mid-September in Toccoa usually sees highs in the low 80s during the day, cooling down to the mid-60s at night. A light layer or jacket is suggested for the evening.
