Questions & Answers
Wedding
Can we bring children?
To allow all wedding guests, including parents, a night of relaxation and uninhibited revelry, we respectfully ask that no children are in attendance.
Attire
What does black tie optional mean here?
Think formal and celebratory. Tuxedos or dark suits work well, and gowns or elevated cocktail dresses are equally welcome. The dress code page has more detail.
Friday event
What should I wear to the boat party?
Cocktail attire is perfect for Friday. Since it is on the water, a layer for the evening breeze is a smart idea.
Weather
Will it be chilly at night?
Mid-October in Chelan can cool off after sunset, so a wrap, shawl, or tailored coat is a good idea for both comfort and style. We also mention layers in the dress code notes.
