FAQs

Question

What about the concern of spreading COVID-19

Answer

We want everyone to stay safe and healthy and plan on following the latest CDC guideline and state guidelines as they develop. Our ceremony will be held outside with enough seating to spread attendees apart. We will provide everyone with hand sanitizer, a mask, and a wristband to indicate what their comfort level is. We ask that you please wear a mask during our ceremony and encourage masks during the reception while not eating. The cocktail hour will be held outside and the reception is being held in a covered open-air pavilion. The pavilion holds 300 guests and we will only fill one-third of the space with our guest count so there will be room to spread out. The tables will be spaced apart and we will fill tables with family members in your party only unless otherwise previously discussed. If there is rain we will move the ceremony under the same covered pavilion. We encourage you to take a COVID test prior to attending.
