Dress to impress! We are requesting a formal dress code for the evening. Feel free to wear whatever color you’d like, but please no black or white dresses—the bride will be in white, and the bridesmaids and mothers will be in black.

We love your little ones! However, we have decided to keep our wedding to adults only (18+) with the exception of the bride’s niece and nephew who are the flower girl and ring bearer. We encourage you to use this as a date night and have some fun with us!

We are only able to accommodate those who have been formally invited. If you received a plus one, your invitation will be addressed to you and guest.

Please RSVP “yes” or “no” by Sunday, October 6. This will allow us to give our vendors an accurate count prior to the wedding.

If we do not receive your RSVP by Sunday, October 6, it will automatically be marked as “no.” We will miss celebrating with you, but it is imperative we provide our vendors with a final guest count within the time they have given us. Thank you for understanding!

The ceremony will start at X time. Please arrive 15+ minutes before to ensure parking and finding a seat before it starts. Once the ceremony starts, no entrance will be permitted. Please join us at the cocktail half hour!

We want you to be present with us during the ceremony. We do kindly ask that phones be put away. We have hired an amazing photographer, Ilderina, and she will capture all of the special moments. Feel free to take as many photos and videos once the ceremony is over.

Absolutely! We want you to have a fun and safe night at our wedding. If you need to leave your car in the parking lot overnight, please pick it up on Sunday.
