The dress code for our wedding is Garden Party Formal.
For our female guests we encourage midi or floor-length dresses in spring or vibrant colors - playful, elegant, and perfect for an evening garden celebration. Fabrics such as chiffon, silk, or lace work beautifully.
For our male guests, classic suits or blazers in navy, grey, or beige are appropriate, paired with a tie or bow tie.
To maintain the formal and elegant atmosphere, we ask that guests avoid cocktail attire, short dresses, jeans, shorts, or casual footwear such as sneakers or sandals.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Where should I stay?
We have reserved room blocks at The Residence Inn, located near downtown Charlottesville, and The Hilton Garden Inn, which is closer to Keswick. We’ve secured reduced rates at both locations. Booking links can be found under the Travel tab. Rooms are limited and available on a first come, first serve basis, so we encourage you to reserve early. Please note that shuttle service will not be provided, and we recommend arranging transportation in advance.
What time should I arrive?
Guests should arrive at 4:30pm to ensure that they have plenty of time to be comfortably seated before our ceremony begins at 5pm.
Is there parking?
Keswick has ample parking availible for all of our guests, however, we encourage you to carpool especially if you anticipate drinking as very few Ubers/Lyfts service the Keswick area. In the event that you do need to leave your car overnight it must be picked up before 11am on Sunday May 10th.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Barring inclement weather our ceremony will be held outdoors. The reception will be held under Keswick's celebration tent.
Can I bring a plus one?
We are so excited to share our special day with an intimate crowd of our closest friends and family and thus have given out limited plus ones. If you have been offered a plus one it will be clearly noted on your RSVP.
Can I bring my kids?
Due to venue constraints our wedding will be an adults-only event. We appreciate your understanding and can't wait to see you there.
Can I get in the pool?
Per the contract that we signed with Keswick: "Use of the pool at Keswick is prohibited except for decorations. Any attendees who enter the pool will result in the loss of Renters’ full damage deposit and Keswick maintains the right to immediately conclude the Event if necessary."
When does the reception end?
Festivities will wrap up around 11pm.
