A: Please arrive no earlier than 4:00 PM at the wedding venue. When you RSVP you will receive the address.
What is the dress code/attire?
A: Semi-Formal/Cocktail
(What does that mean?)
Semi-formal and cocktail dress codes are relatively similar, but they're not the same. You can think of semi-formal wedding attire as a slightly toned-down version of cocktail attire. These two dress codes overlap in the sense that they're both less formal than black-tie attire and allow for more flexibility in color and style. However, cocktail attire leans slightly more formal and structured, usually requiring longer dress lengths and darker suit colors. For semi-formal attire, women can wear short dresses, longer dresses or dressy jumpsuits. Men may opt for lighter-colored suits (versus tuxedos) for daytime weddings and, in some cases, can get away with linen shorts with polo shirts, collared shirts or even a light sweater.
Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
A: Ceremony will be outside in the Black Hills. Please note weather in the Spring time here can be on the chilly side or hot side depending on the day. Please check the forecast. A lightweight jacket is suggested.
Cocktail hour: Outside
Reception: Inside
How do I get to the wedding venue? Will transportation be provided?
A: You can drive or ride share (about 15 mins from downtown RC).
OR you can take our shuttle service to AND from the venue.
