Am I allowed to bring my children?

We kindly request that only children of immediate family members attend the wedding ceremony and reception. While we adore all the little ones in our lives, we've made this decision to ensure a more intimate and enjoyable experience for all guests. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

What is the suggested attire for the wedding?

Our dress code is black-tie preferred, meaning formal attire such as tuxedos and gowns is suggested but not mandatory. While we also recommend incorporating black into your outfit, guests are welcome to showcase their personal style with pops of colors or patterns.

Can I bring a date?

We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation or listed on the website. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!

Will there be an open bar?

Absolutely! Drinks on us.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We kindly request that our ceremony remains unplugged. We want our guests to be fully present and share in the magic of the moment without distractions. Rest assured, we've hired a wonderful photographer to beautifully capture every special moment.

However, feel free to snap away and use your phones after the ceremony during the reception and celebration! We can't wait to see all the memories you'll capture.

Will there be any other events to attend during the wedding weekend?

We plan to have a "meet & greet" on Friday evening. Details and location to come. Please check back on the website or reach out to us directly for more information.
