Our wedding will be Black Tie Optional. We encourage guests to dress elegantly while keeping in mind that our celebration will be in an outdoor garden setting.
For gentlemen, tuxedos are welcome as well as formal suits and ties.
For women, floor-length gowns, tea-length dresses, or elegant suiting are all appropriate and welcome.

Where should I stay?
We have a room block at The Salamander Resort with discounted rates for our guests. Details on booking can be found on our Travel & Accommodations page. Additional hotels are also listed, and there are commercial options near Dulles International Airport (about 30 minutes away).
Should I book my hotel early?
Yes! Middleburg is a popular wedding destination, and there are multiple weddings happening the same weekend. We highly recommend booking as soon as you’re comfortable to ensure availability.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our ceremony and reception will be held outdoors in a beautiful garden setting. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking on grass and bringing a light layer in case of cooler evening temperatures. To follow, dancing and late-night snack will occur in the Ballroom.
Are kids invited?
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you can enjoy a night off and celebrate with us!
Can I bring a plus one?
Our invitations will indicate if a plus one has been included for you. If you have any questions, please reach out!
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! We’ll be serving a selection of spirits, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options throughout the evening.
Do you have any vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free meal options?
Yes! Our menu will include a variety of options to accommodate different dietary needs. If you have any specific restrictions, please let us know when you RSVP.
Will there be transportation to and from the venue?
We are not providing formal transportation, but The Salamander and nearby hotels have easy walking access, rideshare services, and local car services.
What happens if it rains?
We have a rain plan in place to ensure a beautiful and comfortable celebration, no matter the weather!
