Yes, dinner and dessert will have some options for our vegetarian and gluten free eaters. If you need this option, inform the catering staff of your dietary needs when you go through the buffet.
Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
Because we did not reserve a hotel block, we will not have shuttles to/from the venue for all guests. We ask that guests do not rely on Uber, Lyft, or other car ride services to be available at the end of the night due to the location of the venue. Please plan ahead and drink responsibly to ensure that everyone gets home. If needed, you may leave your vehicle at the venue and plan to pick it up before 10am on Sunday.
