There is a parking lot directly across the street from the Riter Mansion where guests are aloud to park, please do not pull into the Riter Mansion’s drive way unless you need wheel chair assistance. The drive way is typically used for the Riter Mansion staff and for the wedding vendors during events.

Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
If your invitation has a plus 1 you may bring a date but due to limited seating it will also be by invitation only.
Question
Are kids welcome? And what about friends and family to far away to travel?
Answer
We adore your kids and would have loved for them to join us for our ceremony and dinner, however due to limited seating and budget we have decided on an adult only event for the first half of our wedding. If any of your children would like to come to the open reception or if you couldn’t make it to the first half and want to bring your kids to the open reception it starts at 7 pm and they are more than welcome to at that time. We hope you understand. For those who are unable to join the full event we will be including a live stream of the ceremony for anyone to watch and a wedding video and photos of the full event will be added in our website gallery within the week following our wedding to celebrate with us. There will also be QR code links to fun games and activities to participate online posted the week of the wedding. And for family and friends who live farther away and are unable to travel please come celebrate with us online! The live stream will begin at 4:30 pm and the link will be posted to the website a month before the wedding. Please make sure to check your time zone so you don’t miss it.
