Think elevated but relaxed. Sundresses, midi dresses, jumpsuits, slacks, linen shirts, sport coats, and stylish separates are all welcome.

Please note that portions of the evening will take place outdoors. We recommend comfortable footwear suitable for walking on gravel, grass, and natural terrain.

We invite guests to dress in formal, Black tie optional wedding attire.

For women: floor-length gowns, formal midi dresses, or elegant cocktail dresses.

For men: suits or tuxedos.

The ceremony and portions of the reception will take place outdoors, so we recommend selecting footwear appropriate for uneven ground.

We kindly request that the wedding weekend be an adults-only celebration.

Children of immediate family members are invited to attend the ceremony only. To help us keep our ceremony as planned, we kindly ask that only guests listed on the invitation attend. If your children were not specifically included, we respectfully ask that they not attend. Thank you for your understanding.

The reception will be kid-free.

To help immediate family members enjoy the evening, we will provide two onsite babysitters during the reception.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you.
