FAQs

What is the dress code for your wedding?

Cocktail attire or above; fancier dress is encouraged but not required.

Additionally, in honor of Halloween, there is an optional masquerade theme! Take inspiration from Carnivale or Phantom of the Opera and bring a fancy mask.


Are children welcome?

Yes, absolutely, we would love to have your children join us for the wedding!

However, there will not be any childcare services or child-specific activities, so please plan accordingly!


Will there be vegan/vegetarian food options?

We have planned for a vegan entrée, and some vegetarian sides.

If you have any other food restrictions or allergies, please let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate!


Is there a registry? Should I bring a gift?

No, we do not have a registry, and are not expecting gifts. A heartfelt written card and/or your presence at the wedding are more than enough.
