Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your little ones, but we're keeping our celebration an adults-only evening. We kindly ask that you arrange a sitter if possible.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Due to limited guest count, we can only accomodate guests listed on the invitation.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Cocktail hour will begin at 2:00pm, one hour prior to the ceremony. We encourage guests to arrive at the start of cocktail hour to relax, mingle, and enjoy a drink and snack before the ceremony begins. Since daylight fades quickly this time of year, we're starting earlier to make the most of the afternoon light.

No, there isn’t a shuttle at this time, but this may change. If you’re unable or nervous to drive, Uber and Lyft are available in the area.

Will the wedding be indoor or outdoor?

Answer

A mix of both! Ceremony is outdoors and our reception is in an open air structure with the ability to be closed if it is too cold. Heaters and other cozy accessories will be available to guests.

Question

What kind of food and drinks will be served?

Answer

During cocktail hour, guests can enjoy light bites along with two signature drinks. At the reception, a buffet-style dinner will be served with beer and wine available.
