FAQ

  • Garden Cocktail attire is a blend of elegant and relaxed, perfect for an outdoor celebration in a natural setting. It follows traditional cocktail dress expectations but with a light, airy, and slightly whimsical twist to suit the venue’s garden atmosphere.

    For Women:

    • Cocktail dresses, midi dresses, or chic jumpsuits

    • Soft, floral, or earthy tones (but feel free to express your style!)

    • Fabrics like chiffon, linen, or breathable cotton

    • Wedges, block heels, or dressy flats (avoid stilettos—grass + heels = trouble)

    • Light layers (a shawl or stylish jacket for cooler evening temps)

    For Men:

    • Dress pants or chinos with a button-up shirt

    • Blazers or sport coats are optional but can elevate the look

    • No ties required, but they’re welcome if you love the polished vibe

    • Loafers, dress shoes, or clean dressy boots (avoid sneakers)

    • Lighter fabrics like linen or cotton for comfort

  • The ceremony and reception will both take place outdoors in the gardens. There will be plenty of shade, but we recommend dressing for the weather.

  • Alsea’s summer evenings can be warm during the day and cooler at night, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea. We will provide additional sun protection (SPF, umbrellas) to those who need it.

  • If your invitation says "and Guest," then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.

  • While we love your children, we have chosen to host our wedding as an adults only event. We hope this advance notice allows you time to make childcare arrangements as we invite you to enjoy a relaxed night out.

  • As much as we love furry friends, the venue asks that all pets stay at home (with the exception of service animals).

  • Absoltuely. We want to ensure that everyone has a a chance to enjoy the amazing food prepared by the talented Thyme Garden. Vegan and vegetarian items will be available at the buffet. However, the cake and desserts may not be vegan.
