Question
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
Answer
While the ceremony begins at 5pm, you are more than welcome to arrive 15-20 minutes early to get settled and ensure things begin on time. As the ceremony will occur outdoors (weather permitting), please plan your clothing/footwear accordingly.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal or dressy casual. That said, the ceremony will take place in an orchard behind the barn. The reception will take place in an older, converted barn, and is not air-conditioned (though it has three fans and two large barn doors that offer a nice cross-breeze.

Belsolda farms can be accessed from the following directions/locations: -The Ramada and the downtown (Washington) area: follow Washington Avenue towards the lake. At the last light (Front St.), turn right (right lane) and follow Front St. through the US41 roundabout. Follow along the lakeshore (enjoy the view if you aren't the driver!) and cruise into the village of Harvey. You will pass through two lights in Harvey, one passing Silver Creek Road and the 2nd crossing Us 28. After US 28, enjoy a mellow drive through Harvey/Skandia. Around 11 minutes (7.4 miles) you'll pass by Kassel's Korner (on your right). Next, you will pass Grove-R Daycare and Preschool, also on your right. Finally, you will see GT Sales on your left, and Magnum Road directly after. Turn on the soft left and follow approximately 1.8 miles. You will pass a business called "Farmgirl Quilt Studio". Belsolda farms will be on your right. Take the second driveway and continue around, past the barn, and into the field designated for parking. You've arrived!
