• What time should guests arrive?

  We kindly ask guests to arrive by 2:30 PM. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 PM, as daylight fades early in November and we want everyone to be seated before it starts.

  The ceremony, food stations, dance floor, and DJ will all be outdoors, while the reception will take place indoors.

  The celebration will run from 2:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

• When is the RSVP deadline and can I update my RSVP later?

  We kindly ask that you submit your RSVP by November 1st. The venue requires our final headcount by November 5th, so no changes can be made after that date. Our venue is a unique, rustic pottery space, and they need an accurate guest count to finalize the seating setup.
