Question
What is acceptable attire?
Answer
Look below the events for explanations of the different types of attire. Welcome Event (Thursday) Dressy Casual Attire Ceremony & Reception (Friday) Cocktail Attire After Party (Friday) Come as you are! Hair of the Dog (Saturday) Your choice! Cocktail Attire: A small step above semi-formal, though not as formal as black-tie optional or black-tie. It's a balance between elegant and comfortable. Have fun and play with your look, including bolder colors and playful accessories. Instead of a floor-length dress, women should opt for a tea-length, knee-length, or midi dress. Dresses in fun colors are acceptable and can be paired with playful accessories and heels or dressy flats. It is preferred that men wear a suit and tie but should feel free to "jazz" it up with a bright tie or creative pocket square. Dressy Casual: Women can try a below-the-knee dress or a dressy skirt and top. An elegant pantsuit is also appropriate. Floor-length gowns, however, would be inappropriate. Pair with heels, nice wedges, or formal flats. Men should wear a dress shirt and slacks, with the option to wear a tie or a blazer.
Question
Is there a shuttle?
Answer
Yes! Shuttles will run to and from both the Hampton Inn Warrenton and the Holiday Inn & Suites Warrenton. The shuttles will leave the hotels approximately 1 hour before the ceremony starts. There will be one shuttle from the reception to the hotels at roughly 9:00pm for those who need to leave early. All shuttles will leave the reception to go back to the hotels around 11:00pm. One shuttle will continue to operate until 1:30am to take guests between the hotels and the after-party at O'Brien's Irish Pub.
