What attire is expected?
Answer
Our Venue will host the Ceremony outside surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Monarch Meadows. While we don't expect you to break out your Evening Dresses & Tuxedos, we want to ensure that you are comfortable. Ladies, you will be walking through the grass at times so be mindful when choosing your shoes. Our Reception will take place indoors with the comfort of air conditioning so you may want a light cover up or jacket if you tend to get a little chilly.
