Country Cocktail

A mix of cocktail attire and rustic flair — midi-length or long sundresses, slacks, button-downs, cowboy boots & bolo ties welcome. Please no dusty blue or solid light blue colored dresses

We are celebrating in a barn and on a grassy lawn— so dress up, but stay comfortable and weather-aware (it will likely be humid). The grass may be damp, so if you’re wearing a longer dress, consider one that isn’t floor-length to avoid it brushing the ground.

Parking at the venue is limited and is reserved for designated immediate family members only. Those with reserved parking have been notified with parking instructions.

Your Save-the-Date and formal invitation will include the names of those invited. We kindly ask that children under the age of 10 do not attend.

Attire —This is a Welcome 'Picnic' Party. A relaxed yet classic summer look. Think sundresses, sandals, and button-down shirts. Lightweight, breathable fabrics (like cotton or linen) are great for staying comfortable in the (possible) humidity. We kindly ask guests to avoid wearing ripped jeans or pants, jean shorts, crop tops, running shoes/sneakers.

Transportation — Parking is available at the venue, however, we highly encourage carpooling, as parking is limited.

Food/Drink —A selection of hot and cold dishes will be provided, along with wine, beer, bubbly, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Note for Guests —We kindly ask that only the guests named on the wedding invitation attend the welcome party. However, if you are traveling with a child under 10 who is not listed on the invitation and are unable to attend otherwise, we would be happy to welcome your little one(s) to the relaxed picnic dinner. We simply ask that children remain supervised by their parent(s) or guardian(s) throughout the event.

Door County in August can be warm, humid, with some possible showers, so we recommend checking the weather before packing.

In addition to your wedding-day attire, consider bringing:

A light jacket and/or rain jacket for cooler evenings or unexpected showers. Swimsuit and shorts for enjoying local beaches or water activities. Breathable layers and comfortable sandals for daytime exploring.

Packing a mix of casual and versatile pieces will help you stay comfortable while enjoying all that Door County has to offer!
