Yes! Kids under 10 do not count towards our number so we would love if they joined us. Just please give us an accurate count when you RSVP so we can prepare the proper amount of food/seating. If your child is over the age of 10, please reach out to us if they were not included on your invitation.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
You are welcome to park in the parking lot for Bear Chase Brewery. The brewery is right next to the manor and has ample parking space. Please remember that we're jerks and getting married on a holiday so the brewery will be busy with lots of people and therefore cars!
Question

Bear Chase Manor is a bit in the middle of nowhere! You're more than welcome to find a B&B if you'd like or the city of Leesburg, VA is approximately 30 minutes away and has a couple of hotels to choose from.

Question
Is there a dress code?Is there a dress code?
Answer
Please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable! We know, we're jerks, and having not only a holiday wedding, but one in the middle of summer. It's going to be hot! Our only request is that if you're willing to indulge our kitschy wedding, wear the good ol' red, white, and blue. We will be eating BBQ, playing yard games, and even doing a couple of cannon balls in the indoor swimming pool (so bring a swim suite if you'd like)! Anything from dresses, to jeans, to patriotic onesies are good to us!
Question
Can I bring a date?Can I bring a date?
Answer
We have a pretty strict guest limit due to the fire code, it's a small wedding. If there is someone you'd like to bring that we haven't accounted for in our numbers, please reach out to us. We will do our best to accommodate you! Please DO NOT bring someone without giving us prior notice - we can only have 50 people present and we would hate to make people leave. Also - sadly we are only 2 dogs on the property. We respectfully ask that you leave your four legged friends at home in the comfort of their own AC. Thank you!
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The simple answer is a mix! Weather permitting, we will have the ceremony on the back lawn of the house, play yard games, eat some smores, and watch fireworks, all outside. The entirety of the house is ours for the weekend so we have AC to escape to if you get too hot and you can always take a quick dip in the pool to really reset!
Question
Is it open bar?Is it open bar?
Answer
We will have plenty of beer and wine to share with everyone! The plus side to getting married at a VRBO is that you may bring any liquor that you would like in addition to the beer and wine we will have. The downside is that we will not have a bar service - you'll need to crack open your own beer. We will of course have a variety of mixers ready for people as well (I think they're called soda?), iced tea, lemonade, and water so we don't die.
Question
Is there anything I should bring as a guest?Is there anything I should bring as a guest?
Answer
We'll be providing sunscreen, hand fans, and ice water to combat the heat during our outdoor ceremony, but we do suggest that guests bring a pair of sunglasses if they'd like so they can comfortably view the awesomeness of our wedding proceedings. There is an indoor pool, if you'd like to partake, a bathing suite is needed! Please also bring a towel, there will not be enough for all guests to have their own. If you would like to bring a change of clothes you are more than welcome! It's going to be hot, no one will judge you for bringing extra deodorant and a change of clothes. It can also get cool in the mountains during the evening, we encourage you to bring a sweater/hoodie/jacket if you get cold easily and plan to join us for fireworks.
