IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
We want our guests to look and feel their best! We kindly ask that you dress up with us in formal attire. For men, this includes a suit or sports coat and dress pants (no jeans or sneakers please). For women, this includes a mid or floor-length dress or fancy jumpsuit. Please no sundresses. Additionally, keep in mind that the ceremony will be held outdoors in a grassy area, so thinner heels may be difficult to walk in!
WHAT IS THE RSVP CUT-OFF DATE?
To ensure that everyone is accounted for, we kindly ask you to RSVP by April 27. We will not be able to accommodate any late RSVPs.
CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?
Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate a plus one unless it is specifically stated on your invitation. When you receive your invitation, it will be made out to "[Your Name] & guest" if a plus one has been given to you.
CAN I BRING MY KIDS?
We love your little ones! However, our venue can only accommodate a certain number of guests. We kindly ask that you leave your children at home unless your invitation says "and family."
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. Guests may begin arriving at 3:30 p.m. If driving, please allow enough time to park and walk to the ceremony.
IS THERE PARKING AT THE VENUE?
Yes! There is a large parking lot onsite. You may leave your car overnight if needed, but it must be picked up the next morning.
WILL THERE BE TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED TO THE VENUE?
There are shuttles for guests staying at The Graduate Hotel. The schedule will be posted on the website in May.
WHERE WILL THE CEREMONY & RECEPTION BE HELD?
Both the ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue. Weather permitting, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing, will be held outdoors. Dinner will be indoors, served family-style.
