Yes! A full dinner meal will be provided for all guests. Dinner will be served family style and consist of a personal salad, 2 "main" entrees, 3 "side dishes", and a personal dessert. These will all be preselected by us and you can pick and choose what you want during dinner! If you have any special diet requirements, please add them in the notes when you RSVP so we can accommodate as needed.
We're going to all tape cut-out chicken tails to ourselves and hold a competition to see who has the best chicken impersonation....just kidding! This will be time set aside immediately following the ceremony to wind down the formalities and transition to the fun stuff! Small appetizers will be available to much on along with beverages available too. We will be hopping around catching up with all of you during this time, so kick back, relax, and have fun hanging out with the other guests!
There will be beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available throughout the night (free of charge) for our guests.
We welcome gifts, but just know we're most excited to be able to celebrate with all of you! If you'd like to give a gift, you can visit the "Registry" tab on the website where you can contribute to our honeymoon fund or see potential gift options. There will also be a card box available at the venue if you prefer the old-fashioned physical method!
