My hotel or air bnb check-out is the day of the ceremony - where can I store my bags?
The hotel will be able to store baggage and we also have friends and family who are renting air bnbs, where you can safely store luggage. Text Matt or Julianna and we can make arrangements!
What about gifts?
Your presence at our celebration is the greatest gift we could ask for. We have no gift registry and kindly request no gifts or cash envelope. We know many of you are travelling to be with us, and that means everything!
Are guests allowed to take photos during the ceremony?
We kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away. We want you fully present with us in that moment — and our photographer will capture everything beautifully so you won't miss a thing!
Dress Code
WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY!
This will be a relaxed wedding and we want our guests to feel comfortable. The bride will be in a floor length gown and the groom in a suit but guests are welcome to dress however they like — whether that's jeans, a sundress, a suit, or a fancy dress. Truly, come as you are!
However, please keep an eye on the weather - there will be tents available for the reception but keep in mind to dress for the outdoors.
Accommodation
If you would prefer to rent an Air BnB with a group, please get in touch with Julianna or Matt - we can coordinate this!
