FAQs

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

Thank you for the question. Given this wedding is a destination wedding, your presence is gift enough - no gifts necessary. Instead, we ask you to enjoy the celebration!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

No, please attend in whatever attire you feel comfortable in! As a gentle reminder, the weather in northern Minnesota in May can be quite cool.

Can you accommodate any special dietary restrictions?

Question

Will this be a kid friendly event?

Answer

Absolutely! We encourage you to bring your kids and enjoy your stay. We both have children of our own, so we promise there will be age-appropriate conversations and songs.
