Arrival & dress code
Please plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before 1:30 PM so you can find your seat and settle in before the processional.
Dress code is formal. We kindly ask that you avoid white or ivory, which are reserved for the bride.
During the ceremony, we ask that phones and cameras stay put away so we can all be present—our photographer will capture the moment. Photos are welcome during cocktail hour and reception. More detail is on our FAQ.
