Can I bring a plus one and/or my children?

Unfortunately, due to the size of the venue and the large size of our families, we have had to make some very difficult decisions regarding plus ones and children. In the event that your invitation does not state that you can bring a plus one or does not include your child's name, please assume that the invitation is directed only to the individual(s) listed. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us via the contact information listed above.
