Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

If indicated on your wedding invitation (i.e., "and guest", or your plus-one's name), you are welcome to bring someone (just make sure you RSVP for both of you!). We included plus-ones as those dating longer than 1 year. If we made a mistake or you have any questions, please contact us. See you and your plus-one on October 3rd! Some invitations say, "Family," and those included within that definition will show up on the wedding website when you RSVP. Due to limited venue space, we unfortunately can't accommodate anyone beyond those named on the wedding invitation.

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only (21+) event aside from those involved in the ceremony.

Yes, there is complimentary parking available at Aldrich Mansion. Please enter through the main gate and follow the driveway to parking. You may park in any open spot in the parking area to the left of the mansion or directly in front of the mansion.

Answer

We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before the ceremony begins to ensure you have time to find a seat and get settled. Please head to the chapel when you arrive, which is <5 minute walk from all parking areas. There is no time gap between the wedding ceremony and reception so please walk (~2 minutes) over to the main house for cocktail hour directly after the ceremony. The mansion is open to all guests starting at 5 PM. Other questions? Check out the "Schedule" tab on our website!

Answer

For the ceremony, you may sit on either side of the chapel in any seat that does not have a "Reserved" sign on it. For the reception, you will have an assigned seat and table. You can find your seat using our digital seating chart in our programs (distributed during the ceremony) and/or a physical seating chart located inside and to the right of the front mansion entrance.
