FAQs
Question
What should I wear to the wedding?
Answer
For the ladies: A cocktail-length or midi dress with sleeves or a dressy jumpsuit in rich, fall hues like burgundy, emerald, or plum would be great. Layer with a stylish jacket or shawl. Guys: A suit in a darker color, perhaps with a vest for added warmth, would be ideal. Wool suits or heavier materials are a good choice. General Tips: Layers: Encourage everyone to dress in layers since Vermont weather can be unpredictable in October. Footwear Considerations: Ladies - most of the events will be on grass, so feel free to dress in comfortable, grass-friendly shoes (booties or wedges). Please note temperatures tend to dip at night, and since the ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside you might want to bring a jacket or wrap. However, there will also be heaters to help keep you warm and blankets to snuggle in during the ceremony.
Question
What should I wear to the night before?
Answer
We’re kicking off the weekend with a casual backyard party—complete with taco trucks, s’mores, and drinks under the stars! Think elevated backyard party vibes: sundresses, skirts, dressy casual pants, button-downs, or fun jumpsuits. No need for gowns or suits, but we’d love everyone to feel a little festive and polished as we celebrate together.
Question
When can I BYOB?
Answer
Friday Night before Party- We’ll have plenty of food, s’mores, and margs on Friday night—feel free to bring your favorite drinks to share! BYOB is welcome during this time. After the Wedding – After Party When the reception winds down, the celebration will keep going! Join us for late-night snacks and the after party downstairs at the lodge—BYOB welcome. Bring along whatever you’d like to sip as we close out the night together.
Question
When should I not BYOB?
Answer
The Cocktail Hour and Reception events will be serviced by a licensed caterer and bartender. During this time (~3 PM to 10 PM) only drinks provided by the caterer / bartender may be consumed. NO outside / personal alcohol may be brought into the Cocktail Hour / Reception spaces.
