Wedding Party

ABOUT THE CEREMONY LOCATIONWedding Ceremony will be outdoors and a bit of a walk from the reception barn, some parking for handicap is available.We’re hoping the weather is on our side and plan to hold our ceremony outdoors in a grassy meadow, so stilettos may not be your best choice! Of course, it is Vermont in November, so if Mother Nature has other plans, we’ll move the ceremony inside the reception barn.WHEN SHOULD I RSVP BY?We kindly ask that you RSVP no later then October, 7th. If you do not RSVP by this date we will assume you can not make it and we will miss you dearly.WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?Come dressed to celebrate! Dressy but not too formal. Jackets and ties are optional- jeans and Carhartts can have the night off.Bridal Party is wearing navy.CAN I BRING A DATE?We wish our pockets were as deep as our love for you all, but budget limits mean we have to keep the guest list tight. If the website doesn't offer you a plus-one when you log in, we unfortunately can't host an extra guest. We love you solo and can't wait to party together!ARE KIDS INVITED?We love your little ones! However, we've chosen to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. We hope you'll enjoy the night off and celebrate with us!
