Question
Is the location of the Ceremony and Reception different?
Answer
Yes, please refer to the Schedule page. Ceremony will be outside, rain or shine so we hope to see you there!
Question
Is there parking for the Ceremony or Reception?
Answer
Yes, there is parking available. For the Ceremony, parking may be limited but there is a small parking lot at the end of the driveway and additional spots along the driveway and street.

Question
When purchasing on the registry, should we ship to our house or Julia & Steven's house?
