FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We invite our guests to wear formal or cocktail attire in rich, elegant shades—think jewel tones and fall-inspired colors such as burgundy, emerald, navy, black, or deep autumn hues. These tones will beautifully complement the setting. Since our ceremony and cocktail hour are planned to be outdoors in mid-November (weather permitting), we encourage guests to dress warmly and comfortably. We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing jeans, denim, or white.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place outdoors in a stunning space featuring unique Spanish Revival–style architecture, located right next to Willows Park Reserve. This charming setting blends history and nature, perfect for our special day. Weather permitting, we’ll celebrate under the open sky. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we have a lovely indoor backup—the ceremony will be held inside the mansion to keep everyone comfortable and safe. The reception will be an intimate, garden-centric gathering in a beautiful outdoor space that includes a patio area. While the reception is designed to embrace the outdoors, the space is fully protected from the elements, ensuring that rain or wind won’t disrupt the celebration.

Question

Is there assigned seating?

Answer

You will be assigned to a specific table, but not to a particular seat—so feel free to choose your spot at the table!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We truly appreciate your understanding as we aim to keep our celebration intimate. Plus ones are only permitted if they were included in the original invitation.

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Question

What’s the timeline for the evening?

Answer

Once photos are finished, we kindly ask you to check into your hotel and freshen up for dinner. The reception will begin at 5:30 PM with a cocktail hour followed by dinner. The reception venue also features a café, a store, and a beautiful garden nursery for you to explore and enjoy before the festivities start.
