FAQs
Question
When should I rsvp by?
Answer
To help us with our planning, please RSVP to the events as soon as possible. However, the deadline is August 19th, 2025. If we don't receive your RSVP by this date we cannot make exceptions and will have to mark you as 'no.' We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner, we hope you can understand ♡
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes – our wedding is black tie optional. This means we’d love for guests to dress up and feel elegant for the occasion. For men: A tuxedo is welcome but not required. A dark suit and tie is perfectly appropriate. For women: A long evening gown, a formal cocktail dress, or a chic dressy suit is great. For everyone: Think classic, polished, and celebratory – it’s a special night!

Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you received a plus one, they will be listed alongside your name when you RSVP through the website. Thank you for understanding!
