Our wedding will be an adults-only celebration, the only exceptions being members of the wedding party. As we included all guest names on the invitations, please look there or contact us as soon as possible if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding.

Please refer to your invitation to confirm if you have a plus-one (it will either list the guest’s name or “and guest” on the inner envelope). If you are at all unsure, please contact Valerie and/or Alex as soon as possible.
