FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! Cocktail Attire. But if you want to have a little more fun... Take this as an opportunity to wear an outfit you never get to wear! Have a Renaissance Faire outfit you only get to wear once or twice a year? Wear it! Have a blow-up dinosaur outfit? Bring it on! The bride will NOT be wearing a white dress, so if you have a white outfit you only got to wear once... here's another chance! Above all, we want you to be comfortable and to have fun!
