Question
CAN I BRING A DATE?
Answer
All are welcome to celebrate our wedding ceremony with us. However, due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation for the reception. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP.
Question
CAN WE BRING OUR CHILDREN?
Answer
We would love to have children celebrate our wedding ceremony with us. For the reception, invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children who are invited. However, we encourage you to use this evening as a "date night" for yourself!
Question
IS THERE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE HOTEL TO THE RECEPTION?

Right now there is not. We'd suggest taking an Uber or Lyft to the reception. We will be serving alcohol and want to make sure everyone gets back safely. That being said, there is a place to park at the reception as well.

The Cathedral has many on street parking spots as well as a parking lot directly behind the church. Farm 1840 has parking available as soon as you drive in to the venue on the left side.
