Question

Is there transportation to the ceremony and reception?

Return shuttles will be available at the end of the reception back to the hotels as well as to the Dutch Goose for the after party.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We kindly request a formal dress code for our wedding celebration. Gentleman: a suit and tie is recommended! Tuxedos are not required, but welcomed if you would like to dress up. Ladies: Midi or floor-length dresses, as well as elegant cocktail dresses, are all suitable options. Our wedding ceremony will take place on grass, so we recommend considering your choice of footwear accordingly. The temperature can dip once the sun goes down, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap to stay warm since dinner will take place outside.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those specifically listed on the invitation. Thank you for your understanding.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we adore your little ones, we’ve chosen to host an adults-only celebration. Thank you for making arrangements.

What is the weather like this time of year?
