Following the cocktail hour, there will be a buffet dinner with two meat entrées and a vegetarian entrée. After dinner, we will continue to serve beer, wine, and non–alcoholic drinks. As folks with our own eclectic mix of dietary restrictions, we have made a point to include vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options wherever possible. Our full menu with ingredients listed will be available on this website closer to the date of the wedding. If you have any questions or concerns about the food or drinks, please text Mitch or Sarah.
