Question

What is an unplugged ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony portion of our day's festivities will be unplugged. An unplugged wedding ceremony is a ceremony in which the couple requests that guests put away cell phones, cameras, and any other devices in order for them to be present in the moment. During the ceremony, the officiant will provide a moment for our guests to capture a photo or two with us at the alter. We ask that you please respect our wishes. Thank you!
