Please know that children are more than welcome to attend. If they happen to cry or fuss during the ceremony, please do not worry about interrupting us for even a second. We love them too, and we would much rather have you right there beside us in the room than waiting out in the hallway. Your presence means everything to us.

The vows are just the beginning! Afterward, we are hosting The Gathering to honor the blending of our lives and families. This is a space for storytelling, laughter, and making memories with the people we value most. We’ve made sure our celebration is a happy place for everyone, so we are serving a delicious mix of adult-friendly entrees and kid-approved favorites. While the grown-ups mingle, the kids can dive into coloring books and crayons provided just for them. Most importantly, we promise there will be plenty of cake and cupcakes to go around! Come exactly as you are, bring your appetite, and help us usher in this beautiful new chapter. As the February chill settles outside, we invite you to warm up with us inside The Gathering. We want our first meal as a blended family to feel like a great big hug, so we are keeping things wonderfully cozy, comforting, and customizable for guests of all ages. Our winter menu features a beautiful spread of artisanal breads, premium cheeses, and hearty, warm soups—including classic tomato basil, rich chicken and wild rice, and a fully loaded baked potato soup with all your favorite toppings on the side. Whether you are pairing a gourmet grilled cheese strip with a perfect bowl of soup, grazing on fresh fruits and cheeses, or letting the kids build their own simple plates, there is a comforting bite for everyone. To top off the evening, we will be keeping the winter blues away with an interactive hot cocoa and warm apple cider bar, alongside an abundance of wedding cake and cupcakes. Bring your appetite, stay cozy, and share a warm bowl with the people we love most!
