FAQs

Question

Where is the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony and the reception will be held on Samantha's parents' property in the woods. To get to the ceremony you will be following a path with clear signs to the ceremony site, and to get to the reception you will take a different path with clear signs to the reception area!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Formal, but comfortable! You will be taking a short walk through the woods on a path leading to the ceremony site and back through the woods to the reception site, so walking shoes are recommended! The temperatures will definitely get chilly when the sun goes down, so a jacket/sweater is advisable, however we will have a bonfire as well to keep you warm!

Question

What time should we be there?

Answer

The ceremony will start around 5:30, but we ask that guests try to arrive 15-20 minutes early to ensure they arrive at the ceremony site after taking a short walk through the forest.

We will have tents set up at the reception area regardless, so we will just skip our plan on having the ceremony in the woods and have it in the tents instead!

We have benches along the trail and plan to have walking sticks available, but we will also have someone on standby waiting to drive people to the ceremony as well. Please contact us if you think this would be best for you!
