Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than August 15, 2025.

Question

What happens if I don't RSVP in time?

Answer

If we do not get an RSVP by the date above, your RSVP will be marked as "Not Attending”. We will miss you celebrating with us, however we have to provide total guest counts to vendors in a timely manner and cannot accept late RSVP’s.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If you received a plus one, it will be stated on your Wedding Invitation. Your plus one will appear under your name when you RSVP on the website.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to the Ceremony. Parking closest to the venue is limited to the first 50 cars - once filled, additional parking will be directed to the side of the driveway and at the entrance to the driveway. Please note that the venue sits atop a hill, therefore cars that park along the driveway or at the entrance will need to walk up the hill.

Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

While we love your children, our Ceremony and Reception are adults-only. Think of it as a night out!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes - the drinks are on us and the hangover is on you! A variety of beer, wine, ciders and non-alcoholic options will be available. With this being said, please plan ahead on how you will get home from the venue safely.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Semi-Formal or Cocktail Attire - for men, this could be a collared shirt, dress pants, and an optional suit or blazer. For women, this could be dressy jumpsuits, dresses, dress pants or skirts. No jeans or white attire, please.

Question

Can I wear white?

Answer

The Bride respectfully asks that no one wears white. This means no white, cream, ivory, eggshell, beige, or any other shade of white you can think of. Note: White button-down shirts are not a concern.

Question

Is the event indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The Ceremony will take place outside, and the Reception will take place underneath a tent. The Cocktail Hour may be enjoyed either outside or under the tent. A covered area is available as back-up for the Ceremony, should there be rain or poor weather.

Question

Is there a Smoking Area?

Answer

The venue does not allow smoking, or vaping, of any kind. If a guest is found smoking, a fine will be charged to the Bride & Groom, and the guest will be asked by the venue to leave. The guest will be expected to reimburse the Bride & Groom for this fine.

Question

What is the weather like in Northport, MI in September?

Answer

The average temperatures in late September range from low-50s to mid-60s. We are hoping for a warmer September like we saw in 2024, but as long as it's not raining, we'll all be happy!
