FAQ
We've gathered some common questions to help you prepare for our special day. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
The dress code is cocktail attire. The venue is partially outdoors, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
We have no expectation for gifts and your presence on our special day is the greatest gift of all! However, we will also greatly appreciate any gifts from yourself or your family. We do not have a wedding registry as we've been fortunate enough to have already established our home together. With that being the case, our preference would be a contribution to our future adventures (and honeymoon!) or any gifts that you feel would suit us as a couple!
The ceremony will take place outdoors in the garden (weather permitting), while the reception will be held in the barn. We recommend bringing a jacket or wrap for the evening as temperatures may drop.
The venue has accessible pathways to most areas, though some parts of the grounds have uneven surfaces. If you have specific mobility requirements, please let us know so we can ensure you're comfortable.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 PM. We recommend arriving at least 30min prior to allow time to grab a drink and find your seat.
