Question
Can I Take Photos During The Ceremony?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged ceremony" (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do". We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and we promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like!
Question
What will we eat and drink?
Answer
Throughout the night, there will be an open bar - the drinks are on us and the hangover is on you so get ready to celebrate! During cocktail hour, we will have light appetizers. We will be serving a full dinner, but there will be no designated time for a seated meal. You will be able to grab your food and sit wherever! If you have any dietary restrictions, our menu will have gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian options.
