Question

How is COVID-19 affecting the wedding?

Answer

We are closely monitoring the NH COVID guidelines and will ensure they are followed during the wedding weekend events. The wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are outdoors. If there are any changes to the events based on COVID guidelines, we will inform guests via email. Please plan to bring a mask with you to the wedding weekend. As we get closer to the event, we will communicate where and when guests will be expected to wear masks.
