Question
Can I wear heels?
Answer
Of course! But let's be strategic. Friday night welcome drinks are on a patio and the stone can be slightly uneven. On Saturday, the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour will be on grass. Sunday's brunch will be on a deck and grass tennis court. We (Emily) suggest wearing a wedge heel, block heel, chunky heel, or heel protectors (search Solemates High Heel Protectors on Amazon).
Question
The invitation says 5:30 pm, when should I arrive?
Answer
The ceremony will start promptly at 5:30 pm. Guests may want to arrive early to grab a drink at the main building, take in the Castle Hill Inn grounds, or enjoy our pre-ceremony music. Or, take one of our shuttles!
