Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than March 1, 2025. If you need to make a change to your RSVP, please contact Brett or Matt directly.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The venue opens to guests at 4:30 and the self-serve bar will be open. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5pm.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

No strict dress code! We would just love for everyone to be comfortable and to feel their best! Ladies, feel free to wear a dress with some white in it or a bold, bright color if that's what strikes your fancy. If you would like more guidelines, aim for dressy causal attire to semi-formal: Sundresses, LBDs, dressy skirts and jumpsuits, floral prints, light colored suits, slacks, and button-ups are all fair game. The venue is outdoors; the ground is uneven and it cools off at night. Please choose your footwear accordingly and bring a coat or sweater to keep warm.

The expected temperature for Saratoga in April is in the low- to mid-70s at the start of the ceremony and will cool off to low 60s once the sun goes down (around 8pm). There will be a fire pit, but no indoor spaces available.
