FAQ
Q: Why a whole weekend?
A: Because one night just isn’t enough. We want this to be more than a wedding: a chance for everyone to slow down, spend time together, and really connect. By the end of the weekend, we hope you’ll know each other’s names, share stories, and feel like part of the same support network that will surround us in our marriage.
Q: What should I wear?
A: Formal Garden Attire. Think colorful, elegant, and a little whimsical, like a fancy garden party in the woods.
Men: suits or dress pants with a blazer (ties optional).
Women: long or mid-length dresses in vibrant or floral tones, with shoes that can handle grass. Evenings get cool in the mountains, so bring a wrap or jacket.
Q: Can I bring a plus-one?
A: If your invitation includes a guest’s name or says “and Guest,” we’d love for them to join. If not, our guest list and lodging are pretty limited, so we’ll need to keep it to those listed on the invite.
Q: What’s the weather like in July?
A: Hot and hopefully sunny. Expect warm days in the 90s and cooler evenings. The ceremony and reception are outdoors, so plan for sunshine and bring a layer for nightfall.
Q: Will there be photos?
A: Definitely. We’ll have a professional photographer all weekend, but we also want to see your perspective. Feel free to take photos during the celebration, just please keep phones tucked away during the ceremony so everyone can be present. After that, share your shots in our shared album via the QR codes on the tables.
Q: What’s the food and drink situation?
A: Expect great food and lots of it. Casual meals throughout the weekend and full dinners on Saturday and Sunday night. There will be both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
Q: Where are we staying?
A: Everything is on-site at Ingalls Creek unless you book your own rental. Onsite there are apartments, bunkbeds, and campsites options. You can find full details and prices on our Lodging page. Once you arrive, you can park and stay for the whole weekend without having to leave.
Q: Are kids welcome?
A: Yes. The property is family-friendly with plenty of open space, but please keep an eye on little ones near the creek and trails. On Sunday night, the DJ will be transitioning to adults-only music around 9pm.
Q: What should I pack?
A: Layers for day and night, comfortable shoes, and a swimsuit for creek dips. If you’re staying in the bunkbeds, please bring your own bedding or sleeping bag.
Q: Can I arrive early or stay late?
A: Guests are welcome to arrive Friday afternoon or Saturday morning and stay through Monday morning. We’ll share a full itinerary closer to the date with meal times, optional activities, and when to be where.
Q: Anything else I should know?
A: Just this. The weekend is about connection. Take a deep breath, meet someone new, and be part of the community we’re building together.
