Question

Are kids welcome?

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is complimentary parking at Lewis and Clark! There will be signs at the front entrance directing you where to park. From the parking lot it is just a short walk to the ceremony space.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Cocktail, please. But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose. Also, keep in mind that you will definitely have to walk on cobblestones, and likely on grass, so keep that in mind- we would avoid stilettos :)

Question

May I take photos?

Answer

No (during the ceremony) and Yes!! (any other time). We will have a wonderful photographer who will be there during the whole event. During the ceremony, we don't want our guests to worry about trying to get photos of us reading our vows. Leave the ceremony to the pro but feel free to snap away once that's over. All we ask is that you include our wedding hashtag on any social media posts! #wedabalm
