FAQs

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We ask that you do NOT take photos during the ceremony and turn your phones off as we would love for your full attention to be on the Bride and Groom. There will be a professional photographer and we would prefer peoples phones to not be in the pictures at the ceremony. As for reception photos, please be aware of the photographers trying to take photos and do your best to let them do most of the photo taking- we want you to focus on celebrating with us and enjoying the night! Photos will be shared on the wedding website when they become available from the photographer.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our dress code is formal. We request that women wear longer dresses and men to wear suit and tie. Women are advised against stiletto heels as the ceremony seating will be on grass.

Question

Where should I sit at the ceremony?

Answer

Please sit on either side of the ceremony set up! There is not a designated groom and bride side, however we ask that you sit closest to the front when you arrive to fill seats and adjust so that seats are filled from front to back if possible.

Question

Where is the cocktail hour and reception?

Answer

The whole sha-bang will be hosted at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens! The ceremony, cocktail hour patio, and reception hall are within feet of each other.

Question

I am having trouble getting to the Great Hall. Is there helpful directions once I arrive at the front of Daniel Stowe?

Answer

Yes! So you should see the trail head store, but just keep going down the parkway and follow the “visitors” signs until you get to the big white building with columns and please park there! Then you should see others heading to the white garden and we will have people helping direct you to your seats at the ceremony.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the venue?

Answer

Yes! There are limited seats on the charter bus, but based on what we know should be plenty for those who need a seat! Please check the hotel and transportation tab for more information on the shuttle to and from Daniel Stowe.
