While we encourage young children to stay with a sitter if possible, we want all our friends and family to be able to participate in our special day. So if your situation does not allow a childcare option for your little ones, bring them along and be extra attentive of them during the ceremony. During the reception there will be a bouncy house to help keep those little ones occupied.
Mike and I are well equipped for all our needs. If you would like to contribute to our honeymoon fund you can do so by bringing your gift to the reception and placing it in the box provided on our gift table or visiting the online registry page to submit your gift. If there happens to be a special something you find that makes you think of us or the perfect card, we will have a table for you place your gift on also.
No, there will not be a bar available. There WILL be a table serving mocktails and will provide an NA Champagne Toast. This is a dry wedding out of respect for the bride and groom. Each adult will have two drinks covered by the bride and groom and there will be additional drinks for purchase (including lotus) Beverage dispensers will be accessible with tea and/or lemonade (and of course water) for anyone who wants a simple sip and nothing fancy.
Summer dress clothes are encouraged. Cowboy boots, sun hats, dresses, whatever is comfortable and a little classy for our rustic backyard setting. Most of the guys are going “golf attire” if they arent comfortable in cowboy boots and pants. But the weather will be a good 65-71 for the duration of the entire event so pants should be comfortable.
Yes there is parking on site. The ceremony and reception share the same property. You will following parking signs the day of the event into one side of the property and be guided to the ceremony.
Please arrive with plenty of time to park and walk to the ceremony. We will start promoty at 5pm so don’t be late! Please sit in the back rows if you have children 6 or younger for easy access to exit the ceremony if needed.
Yes! We want to make sure our guests each have a place to enjoy dinner that was carefully thought out and considered by the bride. A seating chart will be visible upon entering the reception area.
Pulled pork, tri-tip roast, grandmas famous baked beans with bacon, baked potato with a cheddar chive sour cream topping, caesar salad and dinner rolls. Don’t worry, we got butter too. For little ones with a mild palette there will be a table with hot dogs and bags of chips. Just the basics. Dinner will be served buffet style but salad and rolls will be on tables.
The ceremony is closest to the parking area, the reception will occur on the other side of the pond. But both will be on the same 5 acre property.
