Well this is a total DIY wedding! Which means heels may not be the best idea ladies! We will be in a field….in the grass….flats are your friend! Once you turn into the address given you will follow the small gravel road,yes there will be signs, to the parking area. The address given is my nanas house….you will drive a short ways past her house where parking will be taking place.
Parking will be marked with signs! However to avoid confusion there will be plenty of people to help guide you to the right spot! The venue is on top of a hill. There will be people transporting those who can’t make the walk up to the ceremony site!
Casual is always the best attire! Dress in what makes you happy! We are just excited that you’re with us on our special day! Please keep in mind that the venue is in a field so heels, unless they are block heels, may sink in the ground.
Yes we will have a bartending service on site. Cocktail hour to follow immediately after the ceremony….so while the wedding party is finishing photos please help yourselves to a drink. Some light appetizers will available as well. Drinks to be served include: Signature cocktails are Jack and Coke (nate's cocktail); Tequilla Sunrise(Julia's cocktail); Vodka Cranberry; Blue Moon; Reds Apple Ale; and Twisted Tea. If you do not like any of the following options you are allowed to bring your own alcoholic beverage of choice.
We have decided to not do a wedding shower….with that being said all that we are requesting for those who wish to give a wedding gift is money to go towards our honeymoon. There will be a collection jar on site at the reception. Of course if you wish to give us a gift of any kind we will be immensely grateful!
We are requesting all guests have their RSVPs in by July 31st 2024
