FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The details of this are also located on our Events Page, under Receptions and Ceremony for your convenience. Since color will be a focal point of our wedding, we ask that everyone dress in shades of tan and cream neutral tones. We do not expect all of our guests to be in full suits for a summer mountain wedding, we only ask that you dress semi-formally however comfortable. Example: This could be chinos or tan dress pants and a white shirt, a tan pantsuit, neutral dress, etc. No formal jacket necessary, but it will get cooler in the evening so be prepared for 60ish degree weather when the sun goes down. It should be close to the warmest day of the year in Maine on our date, so we hope it will be perfectly comfortable for the entirety of the event. If you have questions-- feel free to call and ask! I promise the dress code will create a beautiful effect the day of combined with the colors of the wedding-- trust me!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We request that you RSVP by April 1, but due to COVID and some uncertainly by then we require an RSVP by May 1 at the latest. We love you, and we intentionally invited every single one of you with the hope you will be there with us on July 17. Therefore, please contact us with any concerns if an exception needs to be made :)

Question

What will the policies related to COVID-19 look like?

Answer

We plan on (hopefully) having this wedding without any covid related complications for a few reasons: the wedding is outdoors and there will be fewer than 115 people. With that said, we ask that EVERYONE do their best with the circumstances in their state to be completely vaccinated before coming to the wedding. We know many of our family members have been vaccinated, and hope the rest will be vaccinated soon. For everyone else, we ask that you do everything you can to get vaccinated by July, but of course following state guidelines concerning registration which is an on-going process. If anything with regards to this changes, vaccination accessibility changes for the worse, or COVID-19 restrictions worsen or remain where they are as of March 2021, it is possible we will have to shorten the guest list in order to be as safe as possible and meet all Maine guidelines. We hope this is not the case, but of course none of us hoped we would be in quarantine a year out either. Thanks you!!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Due to a limited number of people allowed in the tent we are using the day of, we cannot exceed a certain limit. Therefore, if you are not an immediate family member or have a child older than 1, we ask that you try and make arrangements for their care. As the date gets closer, we will have a better idea of numbers and will rescind this if at all possible. We love each of your kids, and this was a difficult choice to make. If this poses a problem, please reach out and we will do our best to make arrangements.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

All vehicles will be parked by the property owners, as there is space on the property for vehicles. Due to limited space, we ask that families carpool as much as possible, but we do not foresee a problem if that cannot happen. No other transportation will be provided, and I am not sure how well Uber/Lyft works in this area but I am sure the Bethel Inn would have a better idea. Further, if you plan to drink- we ask that you car pool in groups and have a designated driver.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

There will be a signature cocktail, beer, and wine served at this event-- but not a completely open bar. Don't worry, there will be plenty and it will be FREE! We kindly ask that you consider tipping the bartender provided by our catering company.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony is scheduled to begin at 3:30, but we suggest leaving your hotel early in case of direction challenges. Please try and arrive by 3:15 at the latest to ensure smooth sailing for us all.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unfortunately due to number restrictions we are not welcoming dates of guests, unless noted on the invitation. We are having an intimate wedding, and would prefer we know every person that attends. Please consider traveling with or staying with friends if this poses concerns. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out! We will be as flexible as possible depending on circumstance.
