FAQs
Question
What about Covid?
Answer
We care deeply about keeping all our loved ones safe. We ask that all our guests be fully vaccinated before the wedding weekend. The RSVP page includes a link to upload your proof of vaccination. In addition, we ask that all guests take a rapid test before each wedding event and bring a photo of the negative result. If you are unable to take a test before arrival, there will be tests at the door and we will ask you to wait for the results outside before entering. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. While each part of our wedding day will have an outdoor option, dinner will be served indoors. If you do not feel comfortable removing your mask indoors, there will be space on the balcony where you can take your plate.

Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Our wedding will be starting with the cocktail hour, from 4:00-5:00pm. Feel free to arrive any time after 4:00pm, but we recommend coming between 4:00 and 4:15 so you can make the most of our delicious culinary spread and say hello to the bride and groom before they officially tie the knot.
Question
What is the food situation?
Answer
Come hungry! There will be lots of food throughout the wedding day. All food will be kosher (meat and pareve/vegetarian options). The cocktail hour from 4:00-5:00 will include substantial appetizers, and a sit-down dinner will be served during the reception. If you have specific dietary restrictions, please let us know.

Both! Weather permitting, the cocktail hour and the reception will be indoor-outdoor. The ceremony will take place on the venue's outdoor patio.
