FAQs
Question
Dress Code?
Answer
Since we host a Halloween Party each year, we’re turning our wedding into our biggest celebration yet with a Halloween Ball theme. Guests are welcome to wear costumes or festive formal attire, with a few ceremony-friendly guidelines. For the ceremony, please choose elegant looks inspired by Victorian, gothic, or Renaissance styles. For the reception, guests may embrace a wider range of costumes, including monsters, as long as costumes are not inflatable. If costumes aren’t your style, traditional formal wedding attire is welcome for all wedding events. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be held outdoors. Because southeastern Wisconsin weather can vary in late October, with average highs in the mid 50s and lows in the high 30s, please dress in layers and plan accordingly.
