Question

COVID-19 Updates (3.31.21)

Answer

3 months to go! We have decided that regardless of what it will look like, we will be getting married this year on Sunday, June 20, 2021. As this is an ever-changing situation, and we prioritize the health and safety of our family and friends, we are still waiting to determine what the in-person vs. virtual scope of our wedding will be. Our venue, BVI, has been providing updates of their policies as time goes on and has been able to successfully host weddings since re-opening. We will keep all of our guests updated on those policies as the wedding gets closer. We completely understand if you are unable to join us for our wedding, and are discussing virtual alternatives for those who may be unable to attend. Invitations have been sent! They are due May 20th, so you have some time, but don't forget! Please check in for relevant updates here. Please don't hesitate to reach out at any time with questions or concerns during these difficult times.

Question

What is this so-called "technology free ceremony"?

Answer

Contrary to our millenial status, we are requesting to have a TECHNOLOGY FREE ceremony. We have hired some amazing photographers to capture our special day, and we have invited all of you to be present with us in the moment during our vows. We promise to share all of our lovely photos with you following the wedding.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

After googling "wedding attire," we've determined that what we want is known as "dressy casual." Ladies: think cute summer dresses, your favorite dress, rompers or pant suits (whatever suits your fancy). Gentlemen: think dress pants with a button down shirt or if you're feeling spiffy you can throw on a sport jacket.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

Our ceremony starts at 3:30 PM, and seating will be at 3:15 PM so we would ask that you arrive at least 15-20 minutes ahead of time. That way, everyone can find their seat and get settled as we attempt to make history and start on time!

Question

What happens during cocktail hour?

Answer

Food, drinks and fun! There will be beverages available at the bar in the main dining room, as well as at the satellite bar located outside. We will have games and activities set-up throughout the dining room and outdoor lawn spaces (weather permitting) that will remain in place for those who won't be joining us on the dance floor.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

Bedford Village Inn is our go-to accommodation, however downtown Manchester is only a 10 minute drive from BVI and has multiple hotel options! To use our group code, scroll down to the next FAQ. The Bedford high school graduation is the same weekend as the wedding, so make sure to book early, especially if you won't be staying at BVI! See our accommodations page for more details.
