Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Formal Attire — think an upscale dinner party. Suits and dresses encouraged! We love any excuse to dress up and are so excited to see our loved ones looking their best. While there’s no official bridal party, we have a small guest list and consider each of you an important part of our day. In many ways, you all are the bridal party. With that in mind, we invite you to dress in our wedding palette: rust, gold, chocolate, hunter green, burgundy, navy, and black — warm, grounding, and refined. Think classic, cozy elegance with a touch of countryside chic — as if Ralph Lauren were hosting a fall celebration in the woods. If you're wondering what to wear, imagine what you might wear as a guest and a member of the wedding party. We trust your taste and can’t wait to celebrate in style with you.
Question
What's for dinner?
Answer
We’ll be serving a chef’s tasting menu: elegant, seasonal, and just adventurous enough to make things interesting. If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know when you RSVP—we want everyone to enjoy the meal. And because it wouldn’t be a proper Caleb celebration without it, we’ll be wrapping up the evening with an after-dinner whiskey tasting. It’s optional, but if you enjoy a good pour and a little spirited conversation, we’d love for you to join, let us know when you fill out your RSVP.
Question
Will there be dancing?
Answer
Not this time - we are planning a more relaxed vibe, think dinner party & cocktail lounge with after dinner drinks!
Question
Is there an after party?
Answer
Yes! For those who want to keep the celebration going, we're planning a casual after party at The Dow Birmingham, 20 minutes from our venue. Nothing fancy—just drinks, laughs, and possibly questionable dance moves. If you are planning to join and staying in a hotel, we'd recommend one of the hotels in Birmingham so you are close to your bed after a night of celebrating!
