Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Social hour will begin at 4:30pm, directly preceding the ceremony. If you would like to attend the ceremony only, we ask that you arrive at least 10 minutes early (5:20pm) so that you have time to park and find your seat before the ceremony begins promptly at 5:30pm. If you do not arrive before the ceremony begins, you may be asked to wait outside the venue until it is over to avoid disrupting the service.

Dress to impress! We kindly ask our guests to dress formally, in neutral or dusty colors (black, grey, brown, greens, blues, pinks).

Question

Is there a wedding registry?

We have chosen not to create a wedding registry. If you wish to give a gift, we will gratefully accept contributions toward our honeymoon fund. If you’d like to participate in some wedding traditions, we also recommend bringing a little cash for bartender tips and for our money dance during the reception. Of course, your attendance and celebration with us are what matter most, and gifts are never expected.
