FAQs
Question
What's the dress code?
Answer
Formal. Formal attire is slightly more elevated than cocktail, while less dressy than black-tie optional. This commonly means choosing between a suit and tie or full/midi-length dress (and don't be afraid to add a touch of color). Tuxedos and evening gowns aren't required.
Question
Are there hotel blocks available?
Answer
Yes, we've arranged room blocks with discounted rates at two hotels. Our main block is at The Lafayette Hotel, where we will be staying, and we have a second option also available at the Courtyard Marriott. Information on how to book can be found in the Travel Info tab on the site.
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
We’d love to see your family - everyone is welcome at the night-before dinner & drinks and morning-after brunch. The reception is adults only (with the exception of infants). We’re happy to help sort out local babysitting options so everyone can enjoy themselves during the reception - please reach out to us if you're interested in this.
