We would love to see our friends and family get dressed up with us! Our dress code is cocktail attire. No jeans, please! All wedding events will take place indoors with plenty of air conditioning.
Due to the limited capacity at our venue and since we have large extended families, we are unable to accommodate everyone. Unless specifically indicated on your wedding invitation envelope, we encourage you to use this evening to have a fun date night, away from the kids :)
Due to the limited capacity at our venue, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless specifically indicated on your wedding invitation envelope. For example, if you have a plus one, your address will be listed as "Mr./Miss XYZ and Guest." If you are confused, when you RSVP and type in your name, you will see if you have a plus one! We want everyone to share in the celebration and this will ensure that we are surrounded by our close friends and family. We hope you understand.
If you have RSVP'd to attend our ceremony, the ceremony will start promptly at 4:00 PM EST. We ask that you arrive no later than 15-20 minutes before.
We have paid for two professional photographers to capture how the ceremony looks, we have invited you so you may capture how the ceremony feels. In order to ensure we are all fully present, we will be having an "unplugged" ceremony. We request that you turn off/silence all phones during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture this special moment and we would be happy to send you any pictures upon request. During cocktail hour and the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like.
The drinks are on us, the hangover is on you ;) We will provide a full open bar with spirits, beer, cocktails, and a selection of red and white wines. We will also have multiple non-alcoholic options.
Our wedding venue has a large parking lot to accommodate all guests directly onsite. Our top priority is having our guests avoid unsafe situations.

If you do leave your car overnight, to avoid being ticketed or towed, your car must be moved by 9:00am on September 7.
