Semi-Formal! We'd love to see our loved ones and our friends dressed up for the occasion. In case you'd like suggestions: ladies, feel free to wear a cocktail dress and men, a suit would be perfect.
Masks will not be required to attend the wedding, but Covid vaccination is required for attendance. We appreciate everyone’s respect for keeping our guests healthy!
We suggest that you arrive at least 30min early to the ceremony. We are getting married in a sacred place so we ask that you be reverent while inside the Chapel and refrain from using your cellphones. Doors to the reception will open at 5pm.
In keeping in line with the request to not use cell phones during the ceremony, we also ask that you do not photograph the wedding ceremony unless otherwise approved by the wedding party. We have hired a fabulous wedding photographer, and we appreciate everyone allowing her to do amazing work. Thank you for understanding!
There are multiple options for parking, but each lot is limited. Please arrive early to find a spot. There is a parking lot directly behind the chapel but this parking will be very limited and will be blocked off once it is full. There is a parking lot across the street directly in front of the chapel that is available for use. If arriving from Roberts Road, turn onto Shenandoah Lane across from the chapel. Turn right onto Rockfish Lane 0.2 miles from the chapel. Guests may park in Lot D across from the Krasnow Institute. Please do not park in the Washington Lot on Presidents Park drive directly across from Rockfish Lane.
The reception is 25-30min from the Church, depending on traffic.
The reception venue, Meadowlark Botanical Garden, Will be open and free to access for all wedding guests. While waiting for the reception, guests are welcome to roam the grounds of Meadowlark botanical gardens while awaiting the start of cocktail hour and the arrival of the bride and groom.
As much as we would love to spread the joy of our special day, please refrain from bringing additional guests not listed on your invitation. Unfortunately, we cannot host any children or any guests under 21 at our wedding. Please make arrangements for your munchkins ahead of time! We appreciate your understanding.
There will be a large parking lot at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. Guests will be allowed to park overnight if you have too good of a time and need a ride home!
Gifts are never required but always appreciated! We ask, however, if you would like to bring a gift that guests please only select items from the posted registry. Thank you!
