The venue space is a covered, paved converted barn, so you'll be sheltered while still enjoying the charm of an open-air setting. There will be games to enjoy on the North lawn, and you are welcome to enjoy walking along the garden paths.
Yes! There is a grass parking lot on-site for guests. Please follow the signs as you arrive.
Dress comfortably! Whether your style is a tie or a pair of jeans, we know you'll look fabulous! If you'd like to color coordinate, our wedding colors are inspired by sunset tones with touches of dark green and light purple, much like what you see on your invitation.
Yes, children are welcome! We will have games and activities available for all ages. Please include all children and adults on your RSVP.
There will be plenty of snacks, with a full dinner and desserts provided during the reception. A cocktail/social hour will follow the ceremony, and we will offer N/A beverages, beer, wine, and champagne following the social hour.
We are so grateful to be celebrating at Jeff and Melissa's family home and zero waste farm! To help us honor and care of this beautiful space: - Please use the clearly labeled trash, recycling, and compost bins for all waste. - Help us keep the grounds clean and leave everything as lovely as we found it. Thank you so much for being part of this effort - it means a lot to us!
Smoking is allowed, but only in the designated paved area next to the parking lot. We kindly ask guests to use the provided ashtrays and keep this area tidy.
There are indoor, ADA-accessible bathrooms available near the parking lot. They'll be clearly marked for your convenience.
Absolutely! We'll have dancing, games, and plenty of fun activities planned for the evening - enjoying live music, dancing in the glasshouse, outdoor games on the lawn, strolling space along the garden paths, and social time around the fire pit. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

We're so grateful for your love and support! Since we've already made a home together and have everything we need, we won't be having a traditional registry. Instead, we've created a honeymoon fund for our trip to Japan. If you'd like to contribute, you can do so through our honeymoon registry site (by following the link in the menu above) or with a card, cash, or check at the wedding. Of course, your presence is the greatest gift of all - we're so excited to see you there!
