Are kids welcome?
We love your little ones, but this party is adults and teens only—no children under 16 years old, please.
Do I need to bring a gift?
Your presence is the best gift! We’re not doing a traditional registry, but if you’d like to contribute to our next big adventure, we’ll have an Adventure Fund available at the party and online. Totally optional—just come ready to celebrate!
Will there be a ceremony?
“No formal ceremony at the party — we’re taking care of all the legal stuff ahead of time. This celebration is purely about good vibes, great friends, and family fun! And the sweetest part? We’ll officially be married on July 30th — our 6‑year anniversary of our very first date. Awww!”
Is there parking?
Yes, plenty of parking will be available at the venue.
What’s on the menu?
We’re serving hors d’oeuvres, a full dinner, and a dessert table. Expect favorites like burgers and brats, corn on the cob, and plenty of tasty sides—plus sweet treats to finish the night!
What about drinks?
We’ll have a variety of beverages to keep you refreshed, including:
🥃 A sampling of Nate’s bourbon collection for tasting
🍸 Old Fashioneds crafted with care
🍷 Wine, beer, and cider
🍹 Jenn’s fun beach‑vibe signature drink—color to be determined (because it’s all about the color!)
🥤 Non-alcoholic drinks for everyone
Will there be a photographer?
Yes! We’ll have a photographer onsite capturing all the fun with our friends and family. Don’t be surprised if we grab you for a photo—we want everyone in the memories!
Can we take our own photos?
Absolutely! We love fun photos and will have photo spots around the venue for you to snap away.
How do we share our photos with you?
It’s easy! Use the QR codes posted around the event to upload your pictures, or go old school and text them to us. We’d love to see your shots!
Will photos be posted online?
Anyone who knows Nate knows he’s a Facebook poster! If you do NOT want your photo posted online, please let us know—we’ll respect your wishes.
Can we Smoke onsite
Smoking and vaping aren’t allowed anywhere on the property. If you need to take a smoke or vape break, please honor the venue’s rules and step off‑site. We’ll miss you while you’re gone—but we’ll be extra excited when you return!
Why can't I RSVP
Right now we’ve only sent out save‑the‑dates. Invitations will go out in April… okay fine, let’s be honest — it’ll probably be May once graduation madness is over. That’s when you’ll be able to RSVP! We’d hate for you to commit now and then have to change it later — Nate is a sensitive soul, after all — so let’s all wait just a little bit before locking things in
I have dietary restrictions
We’ll have vegetarian and gluten‑free options ready to go! If you have any other dietary needs, just let us know. We’ll chat with the caterer and see what delicious accommodations we can make for you
