A Special Request For Our Guests...
We’re skipping the traditional guest book and doing something a little more us. We're creating something extra meaningful to take with us into this next chapter: a collection of recipes from the people we love most. In place of a card, we invite you to bring a favorite recipe to share with us. It can be anything you love, a family classic, a go-to dish, or a favorite comfort meal. Ripped out of a magazine, printed off your computer, scribbled on an index card, or handwritten on a napkin, it doesn't matter as long as we can read it! Please include your name and a little note so we can think of you each time we make it. We can’t wait to build our “family recipe book” with you!

FAQs
Question
What does "Funky Cocktail" look like?
Answer
Bright colors, fun patterns, interesting textures, elevated silhouettes... Keeping in mind cocktail attire, wear anything festive and fun - we're throwing a PARTY! We'd love our guests to stand out but also feel their best, so while dressing up, please prioritize your own comfort level.
Question
Do I get a plus one?
Answer
We’re keeping the celebration intimate with only our closest friends and family. Each invitation reflects exactly who is included, so only the guest(s) listed on your invite are accounted for. Thank you for understanding!
Question
What about my kids?
Answer
This will be a child-free party. Think of it as a well-deserved night off... book a sitter, grab a glass of wine, and enjoy celebrating with us!
Question
I'm not from around here, what's the weather like?
Answer
Early October in Fairhaven, MA is typically high 60's and sunny but windy during the day, with chillier evenings. While we will do everything we can to ensure our guests' comfort, please keep in mind that our venue is primarily outdoors, with limited indoor space. We will supply fire, blankets, and plenty of alcohol to keep you warm, but bring layers just in case.
