FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by Sunday, September 1st. You can start RSVPing now! Just click on the "RSVP" tab above. If you don't RSVP by our deadline, we will sadly have to assume that you cannot attend as we have to finalize our numbers for our vendors.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The event is Semi-Formal: men wear dress pants, button-up and tie (jacket optional) and women wear floor-length, midi- or knee-length dress or dressy separates. The grass can be soft and there are loose stone pavements, so maybe rethink the stilettos. We also kindly ask that you avoid colors that are traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, creams and other similar colors. NOTE: it can get cold up there, so bring a jacket if needed. The ceremony & cocktail hour will be outside, and the reception will be inside a tent.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding budget will not be able to accommodate them. The only kiddos that will be at the wedding are our ringbearers/nephews :) We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only and we will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation and RSVP.

Question
