Question 2

Dress code

Accepted Answer

The venue will be styled with a "moody" colour palette—think muted pinks, deep reds, and jewel tones. Since the wedding falls during a warmer time of year, please keep the heat in mind when choosing your outfit.

We suggest semi-formal to formal attire, but there’s no need to match the theme, so don’t worry about coordinating with the colours.

More than anything, we want everyone to feel comfortable and be themselves.

Question 3

Plus-ones

Accepted Answer

It truly means the world to us to have the people we care about most there to celebrate this special moment. Because we're keeping the ceremony and celebration very small and intimate, we’ve made the difficult decision not to include plus-ones (unless otherwise stated on your invite.)

This was a thoughtful and intentional choice, made so we could create a space that feels personal and meaningful, and stay within the capacity of our venue and our plans.

Question 4

Children and babies

Accepted Answer

After careful consideration, we’ve decided to make the wedding an adult-only celebration. We want all of our guests to have the chance to relax and fully enjoy the day without any distractions. We know this might be a bit of an inconvenience, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We hope that, by keeping it adults-only, everyone can let loose and enjoy themselves.

Question 5
