FAQs
Question
Are children allowed at the wedding ceremony and reception?
Answer
Only children that are named in the invitations will be allowed. Please keep in mind we have limited seating capacity, this also affects catering. For children invited: We require your full attention on your child/children at all times. Please make sure your child is in arms length during both the ceremony and reception.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
When we send out invites we will specify who is included in the invite. We are so excited to celebrate with you, but due to venue capacity, invitations are limited to the names of those stated on the invite. Please contact us directly if you have concerns regarding this.
Question
Will the wedding and reception take place outdoors?
Answer
Yes, the ceremony will take place along a lake dock with wooden tiered seating and the reception will be under a covered and open pavilion by the water.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We will be going with a semi-casual/semi-formal style. Aka, a nice sun dress in your closet or a button up shirt with slacks. Do consider bringing a light jacket or sweater for a cooler night as the average nighttime temperature is 56 degrees F/13 degrees C. Also, stilettos may not be the best shoe to wear as the ceremony seating is on gravel and dirt and uneven surfaces.
Question
What is the weather like in the area?
Answer
Since we’re going with an in-between-seasons day it could be on the comfortably warmer side(around a high of 78 degrees F, 25 degrees C with a low of around 56 degrees F, 13 degrees C). Rain could be possible so do prepare for that chance by bringing an umbrella.
Question
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
Answer
We’d love to see each person’s own unique perspective. We just ask that you please wait until after the ceremony as we will have professional photographers and videographers getting shots and they would look best without phones seen. If you’d like to get a photo with us just let us know! We can even get our photographer to get the professional shot for you if you’d like.
