What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Yes- Our wedding dress code is black tie optional. We ask that men wear a tuxedo or a dark colored suit and women wear a formal dress or gown.

If you will be attending our rehearsal dinner, we ask that you wear cocktail attire.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

No, we ask that once you arrive all phones be silenced and put away. We want everyone to be fully present with us and we have a wonderful photographer to do the job for you! After the ceremony feel free to take as many photos as you’d like!

What time should I arrive?

The time in which the ceremony begins will be listed on your formal invitation. We ask that you arrive no later than 15 minutes before the ceremony begins. We recommend arriving early to give everyone time to park, find their seat, and enjoy the beautiful library murals.

What if I am late?

Once the ceremony begins, no guests will be allowed to enter. However, you are welcome to wait and enter once the ceremony is over!

Can I bring a guest?

If you received a plus one, this will be indicated on your invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP. If you believe an error has been made, please feel free to reach out!

Are children invited?

Unless your child is listed on your invitation and when you RSVP, then treat this as your Valentine’s date night! So grab a sitter, and let’s celebrate!
