FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

As soon as you can! 💌 The sooner you RSVP, the sooner we can finalize all the fun details (and stop stalking the mailbox). Please don't leave us wondering—we can't wait to celebrate with you! However, the deadline is April 24, 2027. If we don't receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and will have to mark you as 'no'. We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner, we hope you can understand.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you've received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed within the invitation. Otherwise, we ask that only the named people in the invitation are in attendance. Thank you for understanding🤍

Question

Is the wedding outside?

Answer

The ceremony will be held indoors in The Chapel. The cocktail hour will be outdoors, as the sun will be shining (hopefully).

Dinner and the reception will be held indoors with plenty of A/C!!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress to impress! Our wedding is Colorful Summer Formal. For the ladies: we kindly ask that you wear your most elegant & fun summer gowns. Gentlemen, we ask that you wear a suit jacket and tie-- make it fun with a colorful tie or pocket square. Think elegant, polished, and festive--perfect for a beautiful summer celebration. Please avoid wearing white, ivory, or cream, as those colors will be reserved for the bride. For more information check out the "Guest Attire" tab!

What time should I arrive?

We kindly ask that you arrive 20-30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time to find parking and your seat. Once the ceremony begins, no entrance will be granted!
