Are Kids Allowed/Do I get a plus one?

Great question! We are having a Kid-Friendly wedding and allowing plus ones!

Question

What is the Bar Situation?

Answer

We will be having an open bar for our cocktail hour and reception. The bar will be temporarily closed during dinner and speeches, so make sure to get a drink beforehand. For the safety of our guest we will only be serving beer, wine, and seltzers. If you appear intoxicated, or like you had enough to drink, the bartenders will not serve you. If you fight with them, you will be asked to leave.

Question

Will the Wedding be Indoor or Outdoors?

Answer

Both! The Rookery at the Berks Nature Center is a great venue that has indoor and outdoor settings. The ceremony will take place on the rooftop deck which is covered. Cocktail hour will happen outside in the breezeway/lawn where there is small covered area. Dinner will take place indoors. The reception will follow on the covered rooftop deck.
