FAQs

Question

What is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP by May 16th so we can get final counts to our vendors. If we don't hear from you by then, we will assume you don't like us anymore :'(

Question

Can I bring my kids or a plus one?

Answer

Please check your invitation envelope or your website RSVP to confirm who is included in your invite!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is loosely semi-formal. Wear something that makes you feel great, and that you can dance in! Bright colors, sparkles, and fun patterns are fair game! Ties and jackets aren't required. Kilts encouraged ;) The reception venue will be indoor-outdoor depending on weather, so wear shoes that will work on both grass and in a barn! The bride will be wearing Birkenstocks, so don't be afraid to wear comfy shoes!

Question

Where is the ceremony and reception?

Answer

The address for the ceremony and reception can be found on the "Wedding and Reception Location" tab of the website! The church and reception venue are about 1/2 mile down the road from each other. There is not much of a shoulder on Gloucester Hill Rd/Cobbs Bridge Rd so we don't recommend walking between the two locations.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 3. Please arrive with enough time to park at the church and find a seat! We're besties with a bunch of professional musicians so you won't want to miss the pre-show ;)

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is a parking lot at the church and lawn/dirt driveway parking for the reception.

Question

What's the bathroom situation?

Answer

Shady Lane Farm does not have an on-site public bathroom. We will have a bathroom trailer outside of the barn adjacent to the parking area with stalls and urinals. We can't guarantee the weather, so come prepared with a jacket or umbrella in case of rain.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

Yes, we will have an open bar with a few beer and wine selections, and a margarita cocktail. We will also have plenty of non-alcoholic options available.

Question

What's the weather in Maine like in June?

Answer

Maine weather can be unpredictable. Typically, you can expect June to be warm, and likely humid, however last spring and early summer we had about 12 Saturdays in a row that rained! We suggest checking the weather forecast a few days out and preparing accordingly. Bringing layers is highly encouraged as it can get chilly after the sun goes down.
