Q&A
Unless a plus one is listed on your invitation/on your personal RSVP form, you cannot bring a plus one. We've tried very hard to keep this as small as we can, and appreciate your understanding. If you're booking travel before RSVPs are sent and would like to know if you have a plus one, feel free to reach out to us to confirm.
We are inviting 70 people.
Yes! The venue has a fairly large dirt parking lot that can fit ~50 cars. The owner has said that cars can be left overnight and picked up the next day in the event that someone who drove to the wedding should not be driving when they leave the wedding.
It will be a 3pm ceremony, so guests should arrive at 2:30. We do know most accommodations have later check-in times, so you may want to see if you can request an early check-in or come up on Saturday the 11th to ensure you have time and space to get ready. Check out the travel information for tips on where to stay!
No later than 9pm. If you don't plan on drinking and live within driving distance, you can probably get home at a reasonable time. If you'd rather not stay overnight, that is.
No. And frankly that would be concerning if you did, since no one we're inviting has children.
Historically you could expect a high of 65 and a low of 40, but we're all victims of climate change so who knows really. Chance of rain is generally 30%, sunset at 6:07. The ceremony and cocktail hour are completely outside with grass and dirt, the reception is under a tent with flooring. If it's cold/windy, the tent sides can be closed and there are some heaters if needed. We support bringing blankets if you want to get cozy!
You will be able to select your meal when you RSVP, as well as add notes about dietary restrictions. There will be 3 plated meals to choose from (one of which is gluten free/vegan and another is vegetarian friendly).
Myla's dad, Bern, is an avid home mixologist and is excited to create the cocktails the bar will have to offer. For those who don't drink (like us), we're going to make sure the bar has some fun mocktails. And on that note, we will likely do sparkling apple cider instead of a champagne toast.
We also will have water, juice, soda, a coffee & tea station, and maybe even some hot cider!
Nope! We tossed the idea around for a while, but we ultimately decided it wasn't something we wanted.
Whatever "dressing nicely" means to you! We don't expect anybody to show up in a tuxedo and ballgown, but we also want you to leave your flannels and blue jeans at home. Wear what makes you feel most confident.
Shoes! Leave those stilettos at home: The ceremony and cocktail hour are out in the gardens, so make sure to wear shoes you'll be comfortable walking on grass and dirt in.
Optional: If you want to match the color scheme, check out the home page for more info!
We don't want anyone to feel obligated to gift us anything (nor do we expect anything), and we also know that for those who do want to gift, giving an actual object could be preferable to cash. Thus, we have created a registry and it is active on this site now. Click the button below to go to that page.
Myla will be changing her last name to McIlwrath. We knew we wanted the same last name and since Charlie had to change his first and middle name already, it would be too much to get everything changed AGAIN to change his last name. If that were not the case, we would have both changed our last names to Doran -- Myla's mom's maiden name.
