FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

For the Welcome Dinner, the dress code is festive (meaning cocktail attire with or without a festive flair). Think: a fun dress or jumpsuit, slacks and dress shirt, suit, or even a costume! No jeans or beach flip flops. For the Wedding Ceremony and Reception, the dress code is black tie optional. Guests have the option of wearing their most formal attire (think: an evening gown or tuxedo) but can also choose to wear a formal suit, jumpsuit, or cocktail dress instead (source: theknot.com). Wedding Ceremony and Reception note: stilettos can only be worn at the venue with heel covers to protect the historic original flooring. Both events will also take place outdoors, and you may need to walk on grass.

Where is the ceremony being held?
