Frequently Asked Questions

What is the dress code?

The dress code is semi-formal/cocktail attire. The ceremony and reception will be held outdoors on grass, so please consider appropriate footwear.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to venue capacity, we can only accommodate those guests explicitly named on your invitation. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Are children welcome?

We love your little ones, but we've decided to make our wedding an adults-only celebration, with the exception of immediate family members' children.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Please indicate any dietary restrictions on your RSVP. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Both the ceremony and reception will be held outdoors, weather permitting. In case of inclement weather, we have an indoor backup location at the same venue.
