FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our ceremony is outdoors on a terrace above Lake Erie, so sundresses, maxi dresses, and lightweight, breathable fabrics in lighter colors are encouraged for the ladies. Our wedding is Lilly Pulitzer themed, so feel free to wear those bright, bold-patterned dresses as well. For men, slacks and a shirt and tie in lightweight fabrics are acceptable outdoor attire. Sport coats or jackets are optional. Make sure to wear something you'll be able to dance the night away in!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

lf your invitation says "and guest," then yes! If it does not, we would prefer that you do not bring a guest due to capacity limits at our venue related to COVID-19. Please contact Luke or Andrea with any concerns or questions and we'll be happy to help.
