Picnic-Style Reception and Seating Detials
Rather than a traditional seated reception, the afternoon will be designed for mingling, dancing, lawn games and enjoying food and drinks throughout the property. A combination of tables, high-tops and casual seating will be available in the barn and on the patio.
A limited number of seats will be reserved for guests who require a guaranteed place to sit. All other seating will be open and shared throughout the celebration. We hope you make yourself at home, move around freely and enjoy the afternoon wherever the food, music and good company takes you.
Dress Code
We kindly request elevated picnic attire. WTF does that mean? Think a family picnic in afternoon-cocktail-attire appropriate for the season. Get into it! It’ll be fun!
A few tips:
*Wear Layers
*Wear shoes you are comfortable standing and dancing in for the majority of the event. There will be croquet and other games.
We really don’t mind what you wear (but do wear something). Be comfortable and do you.
Will the ceremony or reception be outdoors?
The ceremony will take place outdoors and the reception will have outdoor options, so we recommend comfortable footwear and layers appropriate for the season.
