💍 Wedding FAQ
🛏️ Do I Have to Stay Both Nights?
Not at all!
You’re welcome to join us for the entire weekend, but you’re absolutely not required to stay both nights.
If you’re only planning to join us for one night, we kindly ask that you book accommodations nearby so we can reserve on-site rooms at The Markland for immediate family and the bridal party.

🛎️ Should I Book My Cottage Now?
We're finalizing our guest list and accommodations so we can ensure on-site rooms are available for immediate family and the bridal party.
Once we’ve confirmed everything, we’ll reach out to help you book the right space for you and your family.
If we need to place some guests at nearby accommodations, not to worry—we’ve arranged a shuttle to and from the venue so you can kick back and enjoy a drink (or two!) without the hassle.
👶 Are Kids Invited?
We adore little ones, but this celebration is best suited for guests aged 13 and up. We hope you can treat yourself to a grown-up night out — you’ve earned it!
