Arrival
Ample (and free!) parking is available on-site, so there's no need to arrive fashionably early to snag a spot...and let's be real, no wedding in the history of weddings has ever started on time.
A convenient, covered drop-off area is available in the event of inclement weather.
The ceremony area is approximately 100 yards from the entrance/parking lot; please let us know if you have any mobility concerns so we can arrange for a golf cart or other assistance.
Attendance
For guests who plan to join us in person, you have the option to reply via snail mail or online.
For guests who plan to live-stream our ceremony from home, please register on the Ceremony Live-Stream page to receive our private Zoom link.
​
Please note, in order to allow all guests to relax and enjoy themselves (and because Ali has no filter after a couple of drinks...or ever, really), we have chosen to make our special day adults only. Thank you for understanding.
Attire
In keeping with the golf club's dress code, we politely request semi-formal/cocktail attire (no denim or shorts, please). Our ceremony is to be held adjacent to the golf course (weather permitting), so this is your excuse to skip the spiky heels. You're going to want your dancing shoes, anyway!
A Note About Our Ceremony
We're inviting you because we like you, and we want to share one of the most special moments of our lives with YOU, not the backside of your iWhatever. For that reason, we are having an "unplugged" ceremony, and kindly ask that you refrain from all cell phone, tablet, and camera usage during this time.
We have a great team of professionals capturing this moment for all of us, and we thank you in advance for your cooperation in allowing them to do their best work (and for giving our loved ones who are unable to join us in person the best possible view via live-stream).
We will gladly share their photos with you just as soon as we get copies ourselves!
During cocktail hour and the reception, we welcome photography, ridiculous Snapchats, and the use of our custom photo frame/selfie booth!
Please include our hashtag #teamcaliwedding if posting on social media, so we can enjoy your pics, too!
ABOUT COVID
We know, this sucks, but it's a necessary evil.
We trust you, our loved ones, to make good decisions for yourselves and others with regard to the current health crisis.
We will be complying with whatever state mandates are in place on the big day with regard to social distancing, mask usage, and any other requirements for us to celebrate safely. We will not be requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test to attend (unless mandated by the state of MA at the time). We will be making our best efforts to arrange seating within families and friend groups, and to space tables appropriately. We will also have hand sanitizer available in "high-touch" areas like the guest book and photo booth.
Because we are respecting your right to privacy about your own healthcare, in exchange, we ask for you to please be mindful of the health concerns of other guests and be respectful of requests regarding physical contact and personal space.
We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate with you, and thank you in advance for your cooperation.
