Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We ask that you wear cocktail attire. For women, dresses that hit around the knee or ankle, tailored pants with a dressy top, or standout jumpsuits. Bridesmaids will be wearing Navy. For men, a suit or tailored pieces. This can include a shirt, chinos or slacks, a sports jacket or blazer, and dress shoes. Please no jeans. FOR EVERYONE: Since this is an outdoor wedding in early October, we encourage wearing comfortable flats or sneakers since parts of the event will be on grass. Please also bring a nice jacket or coat in case it gets chilly!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love and adore your little ones, however we have decided to keep the wedding an adults only event, with the exception of our flower girls and ring bearers. We encourage you to use this as a fun date night and appreciate you making prior arrangements so that you can celebrate with us!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Due to limited weather-protected space, we can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP, and it will say “and guest” on your invitation. Thank you for understanding.

Question

Are you registered somewhere?

Answer

Your presence is the best gift we could ask for! If you’d like to contribute to our honeymoon fund, we will be very grateful!! We have an adventurous safari honeymoon to Tanzania planned for August 2025! We thank you for any contributions to our fund.

Question

Will the wedding be outside?

Answer

Yes, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will take place outside with tent and porch coverings. Early October tends to be warm during the day, but it may drop to 50’s at night. We will provide cocktails and dancing to keep you warm, but please wear comfortable shoes and a nice jacket/coat/covering.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We are having an “unplugged ceremony” so that you can be present in the moment, and leave the photo/video capturing to the professionals! After the ceremony feel free to take as many pictures as you’d like!

Will there be a bar?

Answer

Yes! Open bar, 6 signature cocktails (four fondly inspired by each of our pets, one by the bride, and one by groom), beer kegs, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks will be on us!

Shuttles will start taking guests back to the Double Tree hotel area starting at 8:30pm with trips every half hour until midnight.

Please take a look at the travel tab on our website for a list of hotels that are very close to one another, and only 4 miles from the wedding location. We have shuttle service picking up and dropping off at the Double Tree. Groups traveling together may also consider staying at a local AirBnB or VRBO rental.
