WHEN IS THE RSVP DEADLINE?

To help make the experience special for our small group of favorite people, we are asking that RSVPs be submitted no later than February 8 to allow time for planning.

CAN I BRING A GUEST?

We’re so excited to celebrate this special day surrounded by our closest family and friends. Because of venue restrictions and trying to keep our wedding intimate only those formally invited on your wedding invitation can be accommodated. If you have a plus one, it will be noted on your invitation.

 ARE KIDS WELCOME?

Due to the historical nature of the venue only children in the Wedding Party are able to be accommodated. We hope you’ll take this as a chance for a special date night.

WHERE WILL THE CELEBRATIONS TAKE PLACE?

Both the ceremony and the reception will take place in Hartville, Ohio. No transportation between locations is needed.

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

We can’t wait to see our favorite people all dressed up for our big day. Please join us in your best semi-formal attire.   Semi-formal attire can be best defined as men’s suit and tie, women’s full length dresses, or tailored skirts or pants with elegant tops.

Do you have a wedding registry?

Our registries can be found at Target and on Amazon.

Where should we park?

There’s a large parking lot at the top of the hill overlooking the manor house. It provides more than enough parking for everyone invited.   If you need special accommodations, handicap parking is available near the main house.

What time should we arrive?

All guests should arrive starting a half hour before at 2:00 pm in the afternoon. There will be light refreshments and a lot to see. The location we have chosen is beautiful and the gardens can be explored while you’re waiting to be seated.

What food will be served?

We want our wedding and reception to be representation of us as a couple. To best represent who we are we decided to keep the event more informal with an old fashion cake and punch reception. Our hope is to be able to enjoy everyone’s company and the time we get to have with all of you!

Can I take pictures during the ceremony and post on social media?

Out of respect and honor for this beautiful moment in our lives we have decided to have our ceremony be an unplugged experience. There will be a brief moment at the beginning for pictures. However, after that we asked that all phones be turned off and put away till the reception.
