Answers to Your Questions

When are RSVPs due?

We kindly ask for all RSVPs be submitted by Saturday, August 1, 2026. This will help us finalize all the details and ensure everyone is comfortably accommodated. Thank you in advance for letting us know—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate those who are formally invited. If you’ve received a plus one, it will be indicated on your invitation and reflected in the RSVP section of our website.

When should I arrive?

We can’t wait to kick things off with you at the Welcome Soirée! To make sure you’re ready for the fun, please plan to arrive by the afternoon of Friday, October 16. That way, you’ll have plenty of time to settle in and get into the celebration spirit! For those joining us on Wedding Day, we recommend arriving early on Saturday, October 17, so you’ll have plenty of time to freshen up and dive into the festivities with us! The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm.

Will transportation be provided?

We’ve got you covered! Shuttle service will be provided on Wedding Day from the Comfort Inn to the Manor, with return service running until 2 AM. More details to come soon! Prefer to drive? Complimentary on-site parking is available, and valet service will also be offered. Note that ride-share availability is limited in the area, so please plan accordingly!

What should I wear?

Our Welcome Soirée will be cocktail attire — think fun, festive, and chic! Wedding Day is a black tie affair. We kindly ask gentlemen to wear black tuxedos and ladies to wear floor-length gowns. Bridesmaids will be in a mix of colors, so no need to avoid any specific shades! Looking for a little outfit inspiration? Check out the Wedding Weekend Attire tab to help guide your look.

Will events be held indoors or outdoors?

We’re kicking off the celebration with a beautiful Welcome Soirée inside the Manor, with access to the outdoor patio for mingling under the stars. The Ceremony and Cocktail Hour will take place against the stunning outdoor backdrop of the Manor—please note that the ceremony will be held on grass. We’ll then move indoors for a fabulous reception to keep the party going all night long!

What kind of weather can I expect?

Autumn in New England is crisp and beautiful. You can expect daytime temps in the low to mid 50s, with cooler evenings.

What should I do if I have dietary restrictions?

Please let us know on your RSVP if you have any dietary restrictions. We’ll be more than happy to make sure you're well-fed and taken care of!
