FAQ

What's the dress code?

Garden formal. Think long dresses or cocktail dresses, suits or sport coats. The ceremony is outdoors on grass and stone — block heels or flats are a much better idea than stilettos.

Can I bring a plus-one?

Plus-ones are listed by name on your invitation. If your invite includes a plus-one slot, you'll see a place to add their name on the RSVP page. We hope you understand!

Are kids welcome?

We love your kids! That said, we're keeping the reception adults-only so everyone can let loose. If your invitation includes your children, their names will appear on the RSVP page.

When should I RSVP?

Please RSVP by August 1, 2026. You'll need to do it from this site — head to the RSVP page and look up your name.

What about dietary restrictions?

When you RSVP, you can pick your entrée and note any allergies or dietary restrictions. We'll make sure the caterer is ready for you.

Will there be transportation?

Yes — we're running shuttles between the host hotels and Castle Farms before the ceremony and throughout the night. See the travel page for details.

Is there parking at the venue?

Yes, Castle Farms has plenty of free parking on-site, but the shuttle is the easiest way if you'd like to enjoy the open bar.

What's the weather like in September?

Charlevoix in early September is usually 65–75°F during the day and cools off in the evening. A light wrap or jacket for after sunset is a smart move.
