Good to know

A few questions

Will Nala and Kiara be there?

Sadly, no. They’ll be celebrating from home by scratching up all the furniture and dropping fragile objects from heights while we are gone. We love them.

Who is invited?

We’re having an intimate wedding, and only the guests named on your RSVP are invited. Thank you for understanding and celebrating with us.

Is there parking?

We expect limited parking at Brindare. Final instructions are coming; please don’t assume overnight parking is available.

Dietary needs & restrictions

We’re using the dietary needs and restrictions you shared in your RSVP. If anything has changed, please let us know directly as soon as possible.
