Is the ceremony outdoors?

Can I bring guests who are not included on the invitation?
The grounds have capacity limits and the bride and groom have also been selective in their guest list to make this as intimate an event as possible. They ask that you only bring those who are named on the invitation. If this poses a problem for you or if you feel someone has been left out in error please contact the bride directly. Please also be sure to RSVP by August 9th using the postcard included with your invitation. The bride and groom appreciate your cooperation with this!

Traffic Officers will direct you to parking. After you park you will be greeted in the Gingerbread House before you head out back to the pond for the ceremony.

Can I take pictures?
Of course! Please also know that all of the pictures taken by John Fitzpatrick, the wedding photographer, will be available for you to view and purchase from this website after the event.
