FAQs

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there will be parking available at Thornewood Castle through the gate. Please follow gate instructions and a parking attendant will direct you as you approach the venue entrance. Please consider carpooling to save space!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will start at 10:30. Please arrive 15 minutes before the ceremony to get settled.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our wedding dress code is formal/semi-formal. Some suggestions are a knee-length to ankle-length dress, or a suit with possible tie is appropriate. Stilettos or other narrow heels as well as floor length or longer dresses may be ill-advised in the grass of the sunken garden area. It will be warm in May with a slight chance of rain, so please above all else be comfortable!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes, children are welcome to attend our wedding celebration! We have limited space, so if you don’t see children in your RSVP list, please get in touch and we can see what we can do! Lap kids (under 2 years) are always welcome. We are looking into providing a quiet room with possible babysitting services onsite.

Question

What happens if it rains?

Answer

Our ceremony will move indoors to the castle’s Great Hall.

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Yes, we will have an open bar for all of our guests to enjoy complimentary drinks after the ceremony. Our venue does not allow liquor, but we will offer wine, beer, champagne, as well as some signature drinks and plenty of nonalcoholic beverages.
