What time should I arrive?
Our Ceremony will begin promptly at 2 p.m. We recommend that you arrive about 20-30 minutes early to assure you don’t miss anything. This will also give you time to sign the guest book and find your seat!
Can I bring a plus one?
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one their name will appear on the RSVP website. Thank you for understanding!
What is the dress code?
Formal/Black Tie Optional - Guests are welcome to wear tuxedos and floor-length gowns, but dark suits, ties, and elegant cocktail dresses are equally appropriate. Aim for a timeless, elevated look to celebrate the occasion.
Can I take pictures?
We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away. We want our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures which we will share with you! Once the ceremony is over, please take as many pictures as you’d like and don’t forget to share them with us!
When do I need to RSVP by?
To help us with our planning, please RSVP as soon as possible. However, the deadline is Saturday, June 13th. Please access the RSVP page to let us know!
