There are also handicapped restroom facilities on the premises. **If you need your vehicle at the venue, please let us know immediately so we can make arrangements. **
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Not necessarily but it is recommended that guests come dressed in semi-formal or cocktail attire. The venue has a mixture of stone, grass, and wood ground so flats or thicker heels are recommended. Ultimately, we want you to be comfortable while celebrating with us!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
We would love to have you join us at 3:15 p.m. for a welcoming ceremony at the venue (this is optional, you are welcome to arrive just before the ceremony if you choose). Please remember the travel time for the shuttle from your hotel or parking lot if you choose to drive. The wedding ceremony will start promptly at 4 p.m.
Question
Are the ceremony and reception at the same place?
Answer
Yes! Our welcome ceremony, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all on the same property. Handicap arrangements are available if needed, please let us know ahead of time if you will need to utilize these services.
Question
What time is the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. A welcome ceremony is provided at 3:15 p.m. as people arrive.
Question
Where should I sit?
Answer
There will not be an assigned "bride" or "groom" side at the ceremony, although we ask that you reserve the first 2 rows of both sections for immediate family. We want you to be comfortable and consider you all to be family. For dinner, you will have assigned tables but not seats. This is for ease of getting everyone seated for announcing tables to eat and for toasts/speeches. We encourage you to visit between tables during dinner and the reception, just be seated for speakers.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Unless explicitly stated on your invitation, or when you RSVP online, we ask that you do not bring a plus one. Unfortunately, not everyone was allotted a plus one due to the size of our family and our venue accommodations. We hope you understand!
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
Again, due to our family and venue size, only the children of the immediate family have been invited. If your invite is addressed to you "and family," your children are welcome! If you opt not to bring your children, please let us know in your RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
Question
What is for dinner?
Answer
We will be having a wood-fired pizza buffet with classic cheese and pepperoni pizza, in addition to 3 specialty pizzas that we would like to keep a surprise. There will also be salad and appetizers.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Please let us know ASAP if you or anyone in your family has a food allergy so we can plan accordingly. Since we will be having a pizza buffet, gluten-free crusts are available as well as any other accommodations. Please let us know in advance so we can inform our caterer, who will prepare and serve your food separately and not with the buffet.
Question
Is it open bar?
Answer
It is not an open bar. We encourage you to enjoy beer, wine, or seltzer at our welcome ceremony; in addition to soda, water, juices, etc. The cocktail hour and reception bars will be full-service bars. Our venue provides a cocktail list as well as wine by the bottle for your table if you choose. The venue accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit/credit, checks, and cash.
Question
Will there be transportation to and from the wedding?
Answer
A shuttle will be provided to/from certain hotels and to/from the Winthrop High School parking lot. If you choose to drive, please park at the high school and allow the shuttle to bring you to/from the venue. More information is provided on the travel page. The shuttle is not provided to or from individual air bnb's/VRBO's. **Please keep in mind shuttle times when planning to arrive for the wedding.**
Question
Can I use my phone to take pictures for social media?
Answer
This will be an unplugged ceremony, meaning we ask that you put your phones away and be in the moment with us. We have hired a professional to make sure all of the necessary shots will be captured. You are more than welcome to take pictures during cocktail hour and the reception, but we do ask that you refrain from posting any pictures with the bride or containing the bride until the couple has posted photos themselves. We hope you understand!
Question
Can I ask your photographer to take a picture of me and my date/family?
Answer
During the later portion of our reception; after dinner, dances, toasts, and speeches, we would love for you to have access to our wonderful photographer. We have asked that she allow for photos of guests, couples, families, friends, etc. once she feels she has captured all necessary shots. Please do not ask them to take your photo during important/busy times of the day.
Question
Can I smoke or vape?
Answer
There are designated smoking areas throughout the venue. Please do not smoke or vape inside the barn or bathrooms.

Do you have a registry?
