We are monitoring the pandemic situation as it changes as closely as we can and will adapt accordingly. At the moment since the event is planned to be fully outdoors, masks will only be required while grabbing food at the buffet.

Additionally, we request you not attend should you be feeling under the weather on the day of our wedding.
