Our Story

The Details

Dress Code: Garden Formal

Our celebration will be an elegant indoor/outdoor affair. We encourage guests to dress in Garden Formal attire. Think flowy sets, knee to floor length dresses with block heels or wedges for ladies, and suits or blazers with slacks, loafers or dress shoes for gentlemen. Ties optional but welcome. Please refrain from polos, sneakers, or jeans. Light jackets or wraps encouraged for evening temperatures.

For color inspiration have fun with spring to summer hues and prints complimentary to the atmosphere and occasion. Think soft pastels, vibrant tones, and romantic metallics. Kindly refrain from white or ivory ensembles.

Can We Bring Our Children?

While we adore your little ones, apart from immediate family and those traveling in from out of state, we invite you to share in this adult centered celebration. Our hope is to enjoy an intimate evening where family and friends can gather, connect, and be fully present as we celebrate this new chapter together.

May I bring a Guest?

In keeping with our desire for an intimate celebration of family and friends, we are unable to accommodate plus ones or guests outside of those indicated on your invitation.

Will You Be Serving Dinner?

Yes! Our love of food and exploring new restaurants is one of the things that brought us together! We are so excited to be working with a local chef who has curated a beautifully well rounded and seasonal Farm to Table menu. Regrettably we are unable to accommodate specific food and dietary restrictions.
