FAQs
Question
Wait, isn’t this at your house?
Answer
Given the number of people excited to celebrate with us, we have outgrown the limits of our yard space. We recently switched our venue to Youngblood Vineyard in order to best accommodate our friends and family. We hope that this change comes with ease and brings more comfort and enjoyment to those joining us!

Is there a dress code?

We know that this is a non-traditional "wedding," but are hoping to keep the dress a little more formal with garden attire. With this, think sundresses, cocktail dresses, lighter-colored attire, button-up shirts and slacks/shorts, etc.
