Can I bring a plus one to the wedding?
If your guest’s name is listed on your invitation or a plus-one option/guest name is listed when you RSVP on our website here, then yes, please bring a plus one. Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding as intimate as possible with close friends and family considering our venue capacity.
Are children allowed at the wedding ceremony & reception?
We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only (21+) celebration. We hope you can still join us on our special day, but if you are unable to attend please know we appreciate your well wishes all the same! Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Do we need to provide an RSVP?
YES, please do. An RSVP is required by September 1 for everyone so that we can formalize our guest count and plan accordingly. As well, please note we will be receiving our RSVPs virtually via the RSVP page on our wedding website. We look forward to seeing yours!
What happens if I do not RSVP in time?
With respect, if we do not receive an RSVP back by September 1, we will be marking you as a “no”. We will miss you celebrating with us but we have to provide our venue the total guest count in a timely manner. Thank you for understanding and we look forward to seeing you!
What should I do if I cannot attend?
You will be truly missed!
