Question

Is everything in one location?

Answer

Yes - everything will take place at The Barn at Walnut Grove, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! The after party will most likely take place at the venue as well, in "The Lounge". Hotel accommodations are on a separate site (about a 10 minute drive), however shuttle transportation between the venue and hotel will be provided. There will be multiple shuttles throughout the evening at varying times.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire/ semi-formal! For women, this may look like an elegant cocktail dress (ranging from knee-length to ankle-length), a fancy jumpsuit, or elevated separates paired with heels or dressy sandals/ flats. For men, this may look like a suit or a blazer with dress pants, a dress shirt, and a tie. Please keep early September temperatures/ weather in mind, as some of the wedding events are intended to be held outdoors.
