Yes, no tricks to get everyone there on time. ;) Staff will accommodate guest arrival at 4:30pm.
There is free on-site parking as well as a free lot across the street from the mansion after 5pm. However, we consider the parking highly limited so we highly recommend carpooling or taking a rideshare. Mansion staff informed us that paid street parking is sometimes available within a block or two.
We are planning on a short ceremony outside, so please bring a coat! There is a coat check room. In case of cold or otherwise bad weather, the mansion staff has a plan to pivot indoors as a game time decision.
There will be an open bar open during cocktail hour and after dinner.
Yes, BUT please be mindful of where our photographers are during the ceremony. They're very talented, and we paid them to be here. :) Please upload your favorite shots to album via the QR code that will be provided at dinner! (We can't wait for the professional photos to come in!)
