Question

Parking

Answer

Parking is in the main lot, which is within a few hundred feet of entering the grounds. You will see a pay-to-park kiosk in the main parking lot, but no, there is no payment required! Please only use the Main House driveway for dropping off guests, if needed. The turnabout in the front of the house is not for long term parking. Overflow parking is on the left of the Main House driveway. You will see posted signs pointing you toward the driveway that will lead you to the house!

Question

what should I wear?!

Answer

This is for all of those who stress over what to wear for events- we got you! The venue is outdoorsy & flowery, so if in doubt, aim for "garden formal.” (Yes, we Googled it, it’s a thing!) Garden formal is dressy, but still comfortable, taking into consideration the time of year and the fact that we will be outdoors. It’s described as more “daytime” wear such as florals and even bright colors, as opposed to “evening formal attire.” We are not expecting tuxes and gala gowns but would love to see a classy crowd! The bridal party is wearing deep-red dresses, and charcoal suits. We do suggest bringing a warm layer in case the September night gets chilly.
