FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We can't wait to see our loved ones all dressed up for our big day! We are requesting semi-formal/cocktail attire for our big day. Please refrain from wearing jeans, flip flops, and of course no white. For the ladies, please note the ceremony will take place on a grassy lawn, so we recommend a block heel. If you'd still like to wear stilettos, no worries! We'll have heel protectors available as an option upon arrival

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony for a champagne welcome and to be escorted to your seats as a group. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30 PM, so we kindly ask that all guests arrive no later than 3:00 PM.
