FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is semi-formal. We suggest cocktail dresses for women and suits (tie optional) for men. Our wedding palette features shades of pink and red. We kindly ask guests to choose other colors when selecting their attire.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we’d love to invite everyone, we’re keeping things small and can only include children who are formally listed on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!

Question

Is the ceremony outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outdoors under a beautiful pergola with louvers, providing both shade and weather protection.

Question

Will there be transportation to and from hotels?

Answer

Yes! We’ll have shuttle service to and from any hotel in the Newton area. Cobblestone and AmericInn are the most popular choices among guests, but we’re happy to arrange pickup at other local hotels too.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before the ceremony begins so you have plenty of time to park, find your seat, and settle in. We want everyone to be present for the big moment!

Question

Where should we park?

Answer

There will be designated parking near the ceremony and reception areas, with signs to guide you. If you’re staying at a hotel, we recommend using the shuttle service for convenience.
