FAQs

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Ladies should wear cocktail dresses/jumpers, and the gentlemen should wear a suit and tie or a sports coat. Please make sure you're comfortable so you can dance with us all night!

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

The weather in late October in Vermont over the last few years has really varied, being anywhere from snowing all the way up to in the high 50s-low 60s so this will really depend on how next year unfolds! We'd recommend bringing layers and/or a heavier jacket than you need just in case it ends up being chilly.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be inside or outside?

Answer

Our plan is to have the ceremony outside at the venue on grass if it is warm enough and then have the reception inside! If we decide the night before/morning of that it is too cold, then both the ceremony and reception will take place inside.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

John and I will be doing a first look prior to the ceremony so we can ideally have more time to join everyone at the cocktail hour after the ceremony! There will be drinks and appetizers/finger foods served prior to going into the dining room for a few toasts and then dinner. Cake/dessert and dancing will follow dinner!

Question

Is the wedding Halloween themed?

Answer

Unfortunately, no!!!! Our venue is hosting a Carvinal-themed Halloween event the night before for charity that is open to the public. If you happen to be in the area the night before the wedding and want to attend, I recommend going to the venue's website and getting a ticket as they sold out last year!

Question

Where should I park if I am driving?

Answer

There is PLENTY of parking for anyone looking to drive to/from the venue. You are also more than welcome to come back in the morning to pick up your vehicle if you end up not wanting to drive after the reception!

Question

Are kids welcome?
