FAQs

Question

Are the ceremony and reception both at Deerfield?

Answer

No. Our ceremony will be held at our church, Hope Lutheran Church in Greece, NY at 3pm.

Question

Is any of this outside?

Answer

No! At no point should you expect us to make you stand outside longer than the walks to get into the venues. We love the snow and winter, but we are NOT going for a immersion experience.

Question

January? Why did you guys pick January?

Answer

We chose January in honor of Kayla’s grandparents, Noreen and Jim Gurney. Their wedding anniversary was January 16th—they were married in Florida (so no snow for them!). Jim passed away in May 2014, just short of their 50th anniversary, and Noreen followed in May 2025. Family means everything to us, and this felt like a special way to honor their love.

Question

Are you guys allowing children?

Answer

We adore your kids! However, we’re keeping our big day adults-only. We hope this gives you a chance to relax and celebrate with us.
