Where to Stay

Black-Tie Black-tie: Formal evening wear—tuxedos for men and floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses for women. Think classic, polished, and refined. Please avoid casual attire (jeans, sneakers, or shorts). If you’d like guidance on colors or accessories, scroll to our Wedding page for palette and photos.
