While we love children, our wedding is an adults-only occasion. We are including a “babes in arms” exception for anyone with a little one younger than 18 months.

Yes! You’re welcome to bring a plus-one if your save-the-date was only addressed to you. Your formal invitation will include “and Guest” as well, unless we already know your person or they live under the same roof as you do. When it’s time to RSVP, please let us know whether you’re bringing someone just so we have an accurate headcount.

We are sending formal invitations out in July and early August. RSVPs will be due no later than September 4.

Our wedding is cocktail attire, which is between semi-formal and formal attire. It’s less dressy than black tie, but dressier than business wear. For early autumn in Kansas, we suggest knee-length or midi cocktail dresses, snazzy jumpsuits, elegant separates, or suits/sports coats with a tie.

It’s mostly outdoor, weather permitting.

Our venue is fairly rural, situated off a highway just outside the town of Council Grove. If you’re staying in our room block at the Cottage House, there will be a shuttle to and from the venue. We recommend carpooling for anyone staying further out. Uber is available in the area but may take a long time (or charge extra) to get there.

We recommend arriving by 3:45 p.m. to park, find a seat and enjoy a special surprise before the ceremony begins at 4:15 sharp.

The RSVP form will include a question about this, so please indicate any concerns there, but don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re not sure about something.
