Is there a dress code?
Our wedding is black-tie optional, so please feel free to wear your best tuxedo, dark suit or evening gown. Additionally, we kindly request that our guests wear black, to match the evening’s festivities. (If you are wearing a suit, a white shirt is perfectly fine, but otherwise, please no white.)
May I bring a guest?
Due to seating restrictions at the venue, we unfortunately can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on the wedding invitation. We hope you understand our decision.
Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?
Of course! Dinner will be plated with your selection from your RSVP. If you should require a special meal or have any allergies, please indicate such in your RSVP.
Regarding children at the wedding...
We love your kids! If your children over the age of five are invited, their names will be on the invitation or RSVP. Children under five are also welcome to celebrate with us. Our biggest wish is for everyone to have a fantastic time at our wedding. If you feel that arranging childcare would allow you to fully relax and enjoy the festivities, please do what feels best for your family. We're happy to have them join us, but we also understand the desire for a parents' night out!

Is it okay to bring a gift to the wedding?
Your love and support are the greatest gift of all! We are so thrilled you'll be celebrating with us. If you were thinking of bringing a gift, please know that we'll be traveling back to Boston after the wedding, which might make transporting items a little tricky. Cards are always so thoughtful. For those who prefer to give a physical gift, we do have a registry, and having items shipped directly to our home would be a huge help, as we have someone kindly taking care of our house, furry friends, and mail while we're gone.
What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?
Please be sure to include this in your RSVP. We will do everything in our power to accommodate.
Will there be dinner served at Welcome Drinks on Friday?

What should I wear to Welcome Drinks on Friday?
For our Welcome Drinks on Friday evening, we'd love for you to embrace the summer spirit with cheerful colors and patterns – think vibrant florals, breezy dresses, and other smart-looking attire. For those who prefer, chinos or khakis paired with a nice shirt are also perfectly welcome.
What kind of food and drinks will be served at the reception?
We will have appetizers and drinks during cocktail hour, a plated dinner and dessert during the reception, and a full bar and coffee bar all night!
Will there be vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options available?

Can we take photos during the ceremony?
We've got the photos covered! We've hired a couple of professional photographers to capture our ceremony, so we kindly ask that you please keep your phones and cameras away for the entire ceremony and enjoy the moment with us. We'll be sure to share the photos afterwards!
Is there a way to share photos?
Yes, absolutely! We will have QR codes in the reception and we have also set up a service called Text My Wedding where you will all be able to text the photos that you have. We can’t wait to see them!
What is this "TextMyWedding" I see mentioned?
To help keep everyone informed throughout our wedding weekend, we'll be using a service called TextMyWedding to send out important updates and reminders. This might include things like last-minute venue changes (if any!), schedule adjustments, or fun little announcements. It's a convenient way for us to share real-time information with all of you.
Bonus! TextMyWedding also provides a super easy way for you to share any photos you take throughout the weekend with us! We'd absolutely love to see your perspectives and candid moments. If you snap some great shots, you'll receive a link via TextMyWedding where you can easily upload them to a shared album. This way, we can all enjoy the memories together!
