This was a difficult decision for us but we have decided to host an adults-only wedding with the exception of our flower girls. We adore your children and will miss them, but we hope this gives you the opportunity to relax and fully enjoy the celebration.

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If a guest is invited to bring a plus one, it will be mentioned in their save the date text message.

Answer

Tuxedos and suits for men & gowns and cocktail dresses for women. Wildflower colors are encouraged! A color palette will be provided soon for ideas.

Question

Parking at the venue is extremely limited, so we strongly encourage guests to use Uber or Lyft. If you’ll need to drive, please contact Katie at (775) 997-5759 in advance for parking arrangements.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We can't wait to begin our ceremony with you - please plan to arrive a few minutes early so we can begin on time.

Question

I have a serious food allergy, who can I make aware?

Answer

We would absolutely like to know about food allergies and vegetarian diets! Please reach out directly to Katie at (775) 997-5759.

Question

If I am interested in staying in an Airbnb/VRBO/Rental Home rather than a hotel, where should I look?

Answer

We’ve highlighted a few areas that we love - gorgeous beach locations, convenient to our venue, and close to our hearts! Please note that, in general, accommodations (hotels, Airbnbs, VRBOs, rental homes) tend to be more affordable the further inland you go. Also, as a reminder, our wedding falls on Labor Day Weekend, so prices may be slightly higher than usual. We are so grateful you’re considering joining us to celebrate!
