We recommend arriving at the ceremony venue at least 30 minutes ahead of the ceremony start time to ensure you have enough time to walk to the ceremony space, grab a mocktail/or cocktail, and find a seat.

There is plenty of on site parking if you wish to drive yourself. We will have there golf carts to drop you close to ceremony site and to park your car. Overnight parking is available for anyone who would like to party with us and take an alternative ride home.

There is ample on site parking for the event.

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

We are hoping for terrific weather because our vision is to have the ceremony by the pond. If mother nature does not cooperate, we have a big tent as well.

Our ceremony will be outdoors by the pond, while cocktail hour and the reception will take place up the lane near and under the tent. Guests will walk to the pond on grass briefly to take their seats. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended. We think cowboy boots would be a good choice. ;) The walk from the pond to the cocktail site is paved and a little uphill. We will have golf cart rides for anyone who needs assistance.

What's the best airport to use?

We are fortunate to be located about equally between BWI Airport and Philadelphia Airport. Wilmington DE Airport may be an even closer option for some.

What's the dress code for your wedding?

We want everyone to be comfortable and have a wonderful time. Please feel free to dress as you wish. We would suggest flat shoes and sundresses for the ladies and dress shorts/casual dress pants and a collared shirts for the men. Whatever you choose, be prepared for hours on the dance floor.

What is the weather and climate like in the area?

Maryland Octobers can be anywhere between warm and cool. We recommend checking the local weather and planning accordingly. We will be praying for wonderful weather. Ceremony will begin at 5 PM which will be the beginning of the golden hour before sunset. You may want sunglasses for the outdoor ceremony. We will provide a few blankets, sunscreen and bug spray to keep guests comfortable.
