Can I bring a guest?
We’ve thoughtfully planned our guest list to keep the celebration intimate and meaningful. If you’d like to bring a plus-one, we kindly ask that you contact us ahead of time so we can see if we’re able to accommodate. Thank you so much for understanding!
Are children or babies welcome?
While we love your little ones, we’ve decided to make this an adult-only celebration. We hope you’ll take the opportunity to enjoy a fun night out with us!
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony is planned to take place outdoors, weather permitting. If it rains heavily, we’ll move the ceremony inside so everyone stays comfortable.
I want to give you a wedding gift. Is there a registry?
Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness! We don’t have a traditional registry. Instead, we are gratefully accepting cash gifts to help us with our future projects and our honeymoon fund. Your contribution means so much to us, as it allows you to play an active part in the next chapter of our lives together as a newly wedded couple.
Can I take photos during the ceremony and reception?
We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony so our professional photographer can capture everything beautifully and everyone can be fully present with us. During the reception, you’re welcome to take photos, but please avoid posting any images of us or sharing too many details about the date and venue publicly without our approval. We’ve hired professionals for a reason, and we’d love for their work to tell the story of our day. Thank you so much for understanding and helping us keep this celebration special and a little more private.
