The dress code for our riverside celebration is semi-formal (coat and tie). Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a suit or blazer with dress trousers and a tie. Tea-length, midi, or maxi cocktail dresses, tailored pantsuits, and elegant jumpsuits are all lovely options. As the reception will be held outdoors, we recommend shoes that are suitable for walking on the lawn.

We kindly request that you arrange for a child-free evening so everyone can fully relax and enjoy the celebration with us.

Due to the small size of Christ Church—fondly known as 'the little red church down the lane'—the wedding ceremony will be a private service for immediate family only. Family members invited to the ceremony will receive all details with their formal invitation. The reception will be held afterward at our family home, Riverlawn, with cocktail hour beginning at 5:30 PM. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with everyone there.

Yes! We encourage all overnight guests — regardless of hotel accommodations — to utilize the round-trip shuttle service.
