The faeries have invited you to a dance party in a clearing in the woods. Think moss, shades of green, and tarnished gold. Aside from that aesthetic, we're going for elegant-family-party vibes. Come prepared to have fun, make memories, and enjoy the union of our two families!
We are blessed with so many wonderful people in our lives! However, at this time we can only accommodate those who are listed on your RSVP.
We will have a buffet with a variety of options.
Semi-formal if possible, please! (Short or long dresses, no jeans, etc.) Dancing shoes recommended! We'd love the opportunity for everyone to get dressed up, but please don't let budget constraints prohibit you from coming. We're just happy you're celebrating with us! We do ask that adults refrain from wearing white/ivory/cream dresses/skirts/jackets/sweaters, or anything where there isn't enough of a pattern to cover the white.
The parking lot is asphalt, and there are large walking stones where the ceremony is. You should be fine wearing heels, but please don't feel obligated to do so. We'd much prefer you wear your dancing shoes!
YES please! We would love to see our wedding through your eyes! We'll be posting photos from the wedding too, but we don't have to tag you in them if you'd prefer.
We have hired Glenn Yeary Photography to take family portraits for everyone! In lieu of a traditional photo booth, Glenn will have a dedicated spot during cocktail hour and part of the reception to take nice photos of the families in attendance (remember: single attendees, couples, etc. all count as families in our book!). We figured since everyone was getting all dressed up we would help you commemorate the occasion! Glenn will be there during cocktail hour and a couple hours into the reception (you may not want a nice portrait after dancing up a sweat anyway, haha).
We'll have a cute phone set up where you can easily record messages in lieu of a traditional guestbook. Keep an eye out for it during cocktail hour and the reception!
The sundae sendoff is a *sweet* way to end the evening! The caterers will set up an ice cream sundae bar about an hour and a half before the reception ends. Sophia is VERY excited about this (and insisted on having it, lol)!
YES! We were able to book a shuttle to take people from the hotel to the venue for the ceremony and then back to the hotel at the end of the night. The drive between the hotel and venue is about ten minutes, and the shuttle will do a couple rounds to get everyone where they need to be. (If you are partaking in the open bar and not partaking in the shuttle, please utilize a designated driver to protect yourself and others.)
The reception venue has a men's room and a women's room, each with multiple stalls.
