Our Story

Wedding Party

The Finer Details

RSVP

Thank you everyone for your responses. We can't wait to celebrate with our favorite people! If any changes arise, please notify us promptly so we can finalize our plans.

What to Wear

We're asking for dressy casual attire. Check out our What to Wear page for more details and inspiration.

Parking

Amber's Team of Engineers have determined that there is more than enough room for everybody to park on the property. When you pull into the paved portion of our driveway, please park in the field on the left hand side. Check out the map on the home page to get the lay of the land. Of course, we ask everyone to please plan a safe ride home.

For Those Traveling

We appreciate all our loved ones coming from near and far to celebrate with us! Check out our Travel and Lodging page for hotel and airport information, as well as our Things To Do page for local attractions and restaurants.

Transportation Services

We have booked transportation services for Saturday night, running from 8pm to midnight, to ensure everyone has a safe ride back to wherever they need to go after the event. If you wish to use it, feel free to carpool or rideshare one way, or leave your vehicle parked at the venue overnight.

Rain Plan

Fear not - we're equipped with a tent large enough for all of our guests and the dance floor! Rain or shine, we're still on. If it's a real washout, we'll have the ceremony under the tent as well.

Adults-Only Event

With our big extended family and a dance floor that can only hold so many, figuring out the guest list was definitely a challenge! While we appreciate each and every member of our family and friend circles, we respectfully ask that all guests be age 18 and up on the wedding date. We are only able to accommodate those included on our invitations. Enjoy the night out on us! The number of seats reserved for your party was noted on your invitation and online RSVP.

Registry

Please do not feel obliged to buy us a gift. Your love, laughter, and presence on our wedding day is the greatest gift of all! However, if you'd like to view our registry, you can find it on our website.
