FAQs

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate with the people who mean the most to us! To keep our celebration intimate (and within the venue’s capacity), we’ve reserved plus ones for guests who are married or in long-term relationships. If your invitation includes a guest by name or says “and guest,” they’re invited too! Otherwise, we truly hope you’ll still join us solo—we promise a joyful, welcoming evening and plenty of fun company. Thank you so much for understanding and being part of this special moment in our lives!

Question

What’s the dress code?

Answer

We kindly request that guests wear black attire to help create the elegant and timeless atmosphere we’ve envisioned for our day. Formal, cocktail, or semi-formal styles are all welcome. Feel free to express your personal flair through unique textures, accessories, or silhouettes. If you’d like, a touch of red can be added to reflect our wedding palette.
