FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to the ceremony in order to settle in and find your seats without disruption. Any late arrivals that could potentially disrupt or interfere with the ceremony should wait outside of the venue until cocktail hour commences. Early arrivals may be asked to wait outside of the venue prior to being let in for seating.

Question

Which side should I sit on?

Answer

Pick a seat, not a side! We will have some seats saved for immediate family, so kindly do not sit at a seat that is marked as "Reserved" and do not save seats for guests who are expected to be late.

Question

Can I take pictures with my phone during the wedding?

Answer

In order for guests to be fully present with us at one of the most special moments in our lives, we have opted for a fully “unplugged” ceremony and ask that you please silence and pocket your phones to avoid disruption. We have a professional photographer and videographer who will be there, and we’d hate for any well-intentioned guests’ phones to block their view. We will share the ceremony photos with everyone when they return, and pictures are more than welcomed during cocktail hour and the reception!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We love to see our family and friends dressed up! So, we are requesting that all of our guests dress in semi-formal attire at our event. Ladies can wear dresses of any length or alternative appropriate attire, such as a blouse and khakis. Gentlemen can wear a suit & tie or, alternatively, slacks with a button-down. For our non-binary friends, appropriate formal/cocktail attire in which you would feel most comfortable. Please, no jeans or hats.

Question

What are your wedding colors?

Answer

Our wedding colors will be slate blue and wine red with copper accents. All of the Bridesmaids will be in slate blue, floor length formal dresses. Groomsmen will be in suits with matching ties. Feel free to wear whatever color you feel most comfortable in, but we ask that you please reserve white for the bride.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors. The indoor reception is in a temperature controlled climate, though we will have some outdoor elements, such as a fire pit, so we recommend dressing appropriately. There is parking right at our venue with minimal walking involved.

Question

The dreaded question ... what if it rains?

Answer

Nobody wants bad weather on their wedding day! We're hopeful the weather will cooperate but in the case that prayers, rituals, and the anti-rain dance don't appease the weather gods, we have a plan with our vendor to move everything indoors. So don't worry at all about rain gear! We've got it covered.

Question

Are any areas "off limits" during the evening?

Answer

Yes. The "Mushroom Shed" is only accessible to the wedding party prior to the ceremony and the couple post-ceremony. The garden areas (including the retail section of the cafe/store) will be off-limits.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes, there will be an open bar! We encourage everyone to drink responsibly. No shots will be available. There will also be several non-alcoholic options for those who do not drink alcohol. We recommend carrying cash if you feel inclined to tip our wonderful bartenders for the evening.

Question

Can I smoke at your event?

Answer

No. The entirety of our venue is a designated non-smoking property, even in the outdoor areas. If you must smoke, you will have to travel off-site to avoid a fee or any issues for those with allergies. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is there a coat check?

Answer

Yes! We will have a coat check at our wedding, so feel free to bring a coat in case the venue or night are chilly. It'll be well held for you! The chairs also have ample backs for hanging any light wraps/shawls.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We are keeping our wedding an intimate event with family and close friends only and unfortunately are not able to accommodate extra guests for everyone. If you received a plus one, they will appear on any materials sent to you alongside your name as "& Guest" or by name explicitly. If you have been given a plus one who can no longer attend for any reason and wish to bring someone else in their place, please reach out to the bride and groom to ensure their name is accurately represented in our seating chart.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your littles -- however, due to our venue constraints, our wedding and reception will be an intimate and adults-only (21 years +) event. No children will be allowed. If there are any questions regarding this, please reach out to us directly.

Question

Are there accessible bathrooms/parking on-site?

Answer

Yes. There are handicap-accessible designated parking spaces, as well as bathrooms all on floor-level. There are no stairs at our venue.

Question

What health and safety measures will you be taking during the event?

Answer

We appreciate everyone making health and safety a priority. We are asking that those who are ill at the time of our wedding kindly stay home and contact us ASAP to let us know. We are operating on the honor code, but have some immunocompromised guests in attendance (and part of the wedding party) that we wish to keep safe during our very special day.
