FAQs
Question
Do I need a passport?
Answer
Yes, you will need a passport to come to France! You will also need to complete your travel visa application before traveling (see Travel tab of this page for details). Also, please make sure your passport is valid for more than 6 months from when you will be traveling! Otherwise, you will not be able to obtain the appropriate visa to enter the country of France.
Question
Can I come for only part of the time at the Chateau?
Answer
Truthfully (& respectfully), no. Brandon & Sarah have created this Celebration of Love event with each of you + themselves in mind, fully intending to spend the entire time (5-days/4-nights) with you all. Weddings are an exciting time, but they are also fast paced and usually pretty stressful. Much of the time, the Bride & Groom are so busy with other "wedding obligations" they don't get to spend meaningful time with their guests. This Celebration of Love meant to be the exact opposite of that experience! We want to not only have you by our sides while we commit our lives to one another, we want to create memories with you that will last us all a life time!!

Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love our tiny humans, we are planning an adults focused event for our ceremonies both locally and abroad. Of course, those children who are still breastfeeding are welcomed with love.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes, there are 3 events we request a special nod/tribute for. #1 - for our ceremonies, we request our guests in attendance adhere to a cocktail attire dress code. This would qualify as: "dressy clothing like a cocktail dress (or similar) or a more tailored suit with a tie". This type of attire allows for a bit more flair and elegance to celebrate The 2025 Norton Lacap Blend. We may be having the ceremony in a grassy area, so use caution when selecting your shoes. We request big, bold colors from the ladies, and snazzy suits for the men. #2 - The Gold Pool party - doesn't have to be a gold suit, but maybe a cool gold hat? glasses? something to make our pool and lawn day a little extra fun #3 - Sunday Garden Party Brunch - Think your Sunday best for this garden party, big hats that pack well are always welcome!
Question
How do I get to the Chateau?
Answer
Great question! There are a number of ways to get to the Chateau! The cheapest is to take the train from the Charles de Gaulle airport to Laval, France. This will take you about ~2hrs depending if it is direct or if you have multiple connections & need to change trains. The other option would be to rent a car and drive (~3hr timeframe). Not a bad option, but Paris driving can be tricky!
