If you receive a plus one on your invitation then you are welcome to bring someone with you. If you don't receive a plus one on your invitation then we are looking forward to celebrating with just you.
Everyone listed on your invitation is welcome to the wedding.
You will definitely want to arrive before the ceremony starts, but please be no earlier than 20 minutes before.
We are not registered anywhere. If you would like to give us something please feel free to donate to one of our favorite charities, but know that your presence is enough.
There will be an area on your invitation that addresses this.
The wedding ceremony will be taking place outdoors and there will be a few dogs attending as well. If you have any allergies I highly recommend taking something before the event or bringing it with you. Both Dustin and I will be taking our Zyrtec that morning.
During the reception there will be an open bar.
As long as it isn't raining the ceremony will be outdoors and the reception will be indoors. Everything will be taking place at the same venue, The Addison Grove.
There is a parking lot located on the same lot as the venue. You can drop off guests before parking or park and walk down to the venue. The outdoor sections of the venue are made up of gravel, grass, and stone. We highly recommend avoiding stiletto heels and recommend block heels or flats. We HIGHLY recommend ride sharing (Uber, Lyft) or using your hotel shuttle. We plan on partying and want to know that everyone gets home safe.
