Will there be food / drinks?
Of course, food is our middle name! While we are foregoing a formal dinner service, Italian-fare hors d'oeuvres will be served following the ceremony (e.g., pastas, arancini, vegetarian options).
Late night bites will also be provided between 9-10pm. No one will be leaving hungry, we promise!
Premium cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided throughout the event.
Please include any allergies or special dietary accommodations we should be aware of in the "message" section of your RSVP.
Are children welcome?
While we would love to include all your little ones in our special day, we respectfully request that all attendees be over the age of 16 due to capacity limitations. We appreciate your understanding!
