FAQs

Question

What time is your wedding?

Answer

Our ceremony starts at 4 pm, and we ask you arrive 30 minutes in advance to have time to park and find your seat. The venue is on the lake so you also will have time to soak in the views!

Question

Is there parking at your wedding venue?

Answer

Yes, parking is located in a grass field across from the venue.

Question

What should I wear to your wedding?

Answer

The dress code is garden wedding attire where outdoor comfort meets elegance. Think lightweight fabrics, floral prints, pastels, and wearing wedges/block heels for grass. We encourage wearing comfortable shoes you can dance in. Also, bring a flannel to wear for the late evening to stay warm, and because nothing says Vermont quite like a flannel! Any cover up is fine if you don't have a flannel.

Question

How should I get around if I am visiting?

Answer

The hotel block provide shuttle services to and from the airport. Rideshare options such as Uber and Lyft are an option but not always available. Taxi services can be arranged at the airport. If you plan on staying for several days, renting or driving a car is recommended.

Question

What if I have a food allergy or dietary restriction?

Answer

Let us know when you RSVP so we can do our best to accommodate you. The wedding will be nut free and we will be offering vegetarian options.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

If your invite says “and guest,” yes! Otherwise, we’re keeping things cozy and can’t accommodate extra guests—thanks for understanding.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We have chosen to invite our nieces and nephews, most who are not local. Please respect that we cannot accommodate other children at our wedding. We hope you enjoy a well-deserved night off!

Question

Answer

We’ll have an open bar with lots of local Vermont drinks—come ready to raise a glass!
