FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Officially the dress code is semi-formal/cocktail. Dress for a relaxed outdoor garden affair. The wedding will take place on grass, so wedges or sandals are recommended for ladies. There will also be a dance floor, so bring your dancing shoes!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Typical temperatures for May range from 65-80 degrees. Luckily we will not be in direct sunlight. It will get cool after the sun goes down so a jacket is recommended.

Yes. Although we will be having an unplugged ceremony, so please put your cameras away until we are presented as husband and wife. We have an excellent photographer that will capture it all for us.
