Question

Question
WILL THE WEDDING DAY EVENT BE INDOORS?
Answer
The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside, with dinner and dancing to follow under a tent. There is always the chance for a cooler evening, so we recommend checking the weather in Sharon, CT and preparing accordingly.
Question
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
Answer
The wedding day attire is Festive Formal. Dress to your best; we'd like you to feel comfortable so that you can express yourself fully on the dance floor! Color and creative expression are strongly encouraged! Please try to avoid shades of black and grey. Ladies are encouraged to wear colorful formal dresses and comfortable heels / shoes. Men are encouraged to wear suits or a sport coat with a tie and slacks. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be on a grass surface. Please avoid wearing shoes with narrow heels.
Question
WILL TRANSPORTATION BE PROVIDED TO/FROM THE WEDDING VENUE?
Answer
We will provide shuttles from the Interlacken Inn and BlackBerry Farm Inn to the venue on Saturday only. If you're not planning to use our shuttle service, we recommend scheduling a car service ahead of time as our venue is somewhat remote with limited cell service.
Question
DOES THE VENUE HAVE PARKING?
Answer
There is limited parking at the venue. The event parking lot will be clearly marked near the red barn when you reach the end of the driveway. There will be a golf cart running from the parking lot to the ceremony site. If you are driving, please plan to arrive no later than 3:15 PM.
Question
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE TO THE CEREMONY?
Answer
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM. If you don't plan on taking the shuttle, we strongly recommend arriving approximately 45 minutes early to make your way to the ceremony site and enjoy a refreshment. Shuttle Bus schedules will be distributed prior to our wedding weekend.
Question
WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE?
Answer
Daytime temperatures will likely be in 70s. Because of the time of year, temperatures can drop into the mid to low 60s at night. You may want to check the weather closer to the event and consider bringing layers.

Our caterer, Hunt and Harvest, will be able to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Please let us know when you RSVP, or feel free to text/email us.
