Do I have to wear a mask?

Masks are not a mandatory requirement for the bride and groom, nor are they a requirement for the venue. All we ask is that everyone please be respectful and considerate of anyone who chooses to wear a mask and of those who chose to not wear one. We also ask that anyone who is feeling ill take the proper precautions to ensure that everyone has a safe experience.
