Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress to impress! Our wedding will have a dress code of cocktail attire. What is cocktail attire? Cocktail attire is a semi-formal dress code that's dressier than business casual, but not as formal as black tie. It's a balance between elegant, comfortable, fancy, and pared-back. If you’re in doubt, just wear your best outfit and be prepared to celebrate with us. Please, no white or cream. For women: think tea-length, knee-length, midi dresses, long dresses are OK, pantsuits, sleek separates. If you choose to wear heels the venue is paved, but there is some turf. For men, wear your favorite suit or jacket, dress shirt, and tie. Please be mindful of the weather. Five Crowns’ garden patio is outdoors.
