Q + A

What is the wedding theme & dress code?

Think wildflowers, romantic vintage, secret garden. Lots of florals, accents of brass/copper, earth tones. Attire is formal (no jeans, no hats, no white dresses). We encourage you to check out our venue's website here: https://www.vivilore.com/ to get a better idea of the space. The ceremony will take place in the courtyard garden at Vivilore, with the reception taking place in their gorgeous event space, The Mandarin, just steps away from the courtyard.

Will there be food & drinks?

Of course! We’ll be serving a curated selection of beer, wine, and soft drinks from around 4:10 PM - 9:00 PM. Each guest will receive 5 drink tickets to use during this time. Throughout the evening, enjoy three rounds of hors d'oeuvres (starters, entrée-inspired bites, and dessert options). The portions will be on the lighter side, but trust us when we say that Vivilore knows how to pack flavor - It’s our favorite restaurant, and there will be plenty to try!
