WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
Our wedding is Formal, Black Tie Optional.
We kindly ask guests to wear formal evening attire:
Men: Tuxedos are traditional, but a dark suit and tie are also acceptable.
Women: Floor-length gowns, elegant cocktail dresses, or formal pantsuits are perfect.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you in style!
ARE CHILDREN INVITED TO THE WEDDING?
We’ve received a few questions about this, so we wanted to clarify: due to our large blended families, some children will be in attendance at our wedding. We’ve chosen to limit the guest list to our first cousins, and as it happens, a number of them are quite young!
While the event is primarily adult-focused, we’re excited to celebrate with all generations of our family. We appreciate your understanding and support as we balance intimacy with inclusivity.
Please note: Invitations will be addressed specifically to the individuals invited—whether to a couple or to a family—so you’ll be able to tell from your envelope who is included.
If you have any questions or need help planning for your own little ones, feel free to reach out!
SHOULD I DRIVE OR TAKE A RIDESHARE TO THE WEDDING?
Both options work! The venue offers a surface lot and a heated underground parking ramp, charged at an hourly rate. You can find current parking rates on The Depot’s website.
