Question
Are kids welcomed?

Question
What time should I arrive at the venue?
Answer
The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 5:30 PM. We kindly ask that guests arrive no later than 20-30 minutes prior to allow time to get seated and settled. We’re so looking forward to sharing this special moment with you!
Question
Will the event be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will be outdoors, with the reception inside the hangar. The hangar doors will likely be open, offering an open-air feel. Expect temps around 70°F for the ceremony, but it cools down quickly after sunset (around 6:30 PM), so we recommend bringing a layer!
Question
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Answer
Yes, both the ceremony and reception locations are wheelchair accessible. However, please note that since the venue is at an airport, there are aircraft tiedowns outside which create small divots in the concrete. The hangar itself does not have these tie downs, so it will be smooth and accessible inside. We just wanted to make you aware of the outdoor conditions.
Question
Will dinner be served at the reception?
Answer
Yes, dinner will be served at the reception! We’ll be a choice of either tri-tip (beef) or chicken, served with mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, green beans, green salad, and dinner roll—plenty to enjoy!
