What is the wedding day timeline?

We will begin the ceremony at 5:00PM. Cocktail hour will begin at 5:30PM, and the reception will end at 10:30PM.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited capacity, we will only be able to accommodate those specifically listed out on your invitation and RSVP. If you received a plus one, it will be listed on your wedding invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP through the website. We appreciate you understanding!

Is Transportation Provided?

Yes, shuttles will arrive at the Inn At Middletown at 3:45PM to pick up guests with departure times of 4:00PM & 4:30PM. Please arrive on time. (15 minute drive)

is there parking at the venue?

Yes, there is free parking for all wedding guests. If you are taking a shuttle from the Inn at Middletown to the venue, they will drop you off right in front.

What time should I arrive?

The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM. Please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the ceremony to give yourself plenty of time to find a seat. Shuttles will arrive at Saint Clements Castle at 4:15PM & 4:45PM.

When should I RSVP?

Please RSVP as soon as you receive your wedding invitation! We ask that you RSVP before August 15th. After that, unfortunately, any unanswered invites will have to be marked as "not attending" due to our vendor's cut off dates.

Are kids welcome?

Although we love your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event. This rule excludes the little ones in our bridal party and a few kids from our immediate family. We hope you'll take this opportunity to enjoy a date night!

Will the wedding be outdoors?

Yes! The ceremony & cocktail hour will be outside. Please plan accordingly. In the event of inclement weather, our ceremony will be moved indoors.

What should I wear?

We would love for our guests to get dressed up with us! In staying with our wedding theme, we kindly encourage our guests to dress in formal attire.

Where are you registered?

Although your presence is the best gift we could ask for, we realize that some of you would like to know about a physical gift. Right here on our wedding website is the easiest way to access all of our registries in one place.
