FAQs

Question

By what date should I RSVP?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP by October 18, 2025. We will need to provide a final guest count to our amazing vendor team by a certain date so we request that you don't RSVP late. If we do not receive your RSVP by October 18th, it will automatically be marked as no. We will miss celebrating with you and thank you for understanding!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We'd love to see our friends and family dressed up for our special day. We are requesting black tie optional or formal attire for the evening.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received one, they will appear on your wedding invitation envelope.
