Question

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the ceremony?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means that we kindly ask for all phones and devices to be put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. We will have a professional photographer and a videographer to capture the day. This is to ensure that no phones will be blocking any moments for them to capture. Please feel free to take photos/videos after the ceremony!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes. Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

There are many hotel options near the venue. Please view the 'Things to Do' tab for suggestions on places to stay as well as other fun things to do in the area.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the guest(s) included in your RSVP.

Question

Is there a COVID-19 mask requirement? Will they be provided?

Answer

At this time there will be no mask requirement and none will be provided. We will monitor the COVID-19 situation and be sure to update guests if anything changes.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors? What can we expect the weather to be like?

Answer

The ceremony will be outdoors (weather permitting) and the reception will be indoors. The temperature in early October Connecticut is usually mild (mid to high 60s) but please keep in mind that it could be windy as the venue is located on the Connecticut River.
