FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our wedding will be formal attire. We invite our guests to dress in elegant evening wear to help us set the tone for our celebration. For our special day, we recommend floor-length gowns, formal cocktail dresses, or dressy jumpsuits for women, and suits or tuxes with a tie or bow tie for men. Please refrain from casual attire such as jeans, shorts, sneakers, or overly casual dresses, as well as anything too casual for an evening formal event. Thank you for helping us make our day feel extra special!

Question

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
