Questions

FAQ

Can I bring a plus-one?

We wish we could host everyone with a guest! Please refer to your invitation — if it includes a plus-one, we'd love to meet them.

Are children welcome?

We adore your little ones, but we've planned an adults-only celebration so everyone can relax and enjoy the evening.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask for an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones tucked away so our photographer can capture the moment, and so everyone can be fully present.

What if it rains?

Light rain won't stop us — we'll have umbrellas ready. In case of severe weather, we'll share an updated indoor location via text and email the morning of.
