FAQs

Question

Is your wedding really on a Thursday?

Answer

Yes! We know it's unconventional, and it may be harder to accommodate schedules. We'd love to celebrate with you, but we understand if a Thursday isn't feasible for you.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail Attire. Please wear a suit (tie optional) for the gentlemen and a knee-length or midi-dress or a jumpsuit for the ladies. Please refrain from wearing white, ivory, or cream to allow the bride to shine in her dress.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We've worked hard to create an intimate celebration, and we only have room for those specifically named on the invitation/RSVP page. If your guest's name is listed on your invitation, or you see a guest listed with your name when you RSVP, then yes!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We adore your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults only celebration, with the exception of a few children in our family/wedding party. We hope you can enjoy a night out!
