Event Details

Where is the venue located?

The venue is located at the Farmhouse at Rockmill Brewery in Lancaster, Ohio. The address is 5705 Lithopolis Rd NW, Lancaster, OH, 43130.

When should I arrive?

The ceremony will start promptly at 4 PM, please make sure you're seated by then! The Rockmill Brewery Taproom will be open if you'd like to arrive a bit early.

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony is planned to be outdoors, pending extreme weather. The cocktail hour area is outdoors, but covered. Dinner will be served inside. We know Ohio weather can be unpredictable! It might be 80º and sunny or 50º and chilly. We’ll do our best to be prepared with essentials (heaters, sunscreen, bug spray, etc.) but we kindly ask for you be open to the adventure of an outdoor wedding in November in Ohio!

Attire

Is there a dress code?

Dressy casual attire is requested. Please, no jeans. Our venue, the Farmhouse at Rockmill Brewery, is located about 40 minutes southeast of Columbus. The area is predominately hilly farmland and country roads. Portions of the event will be outside, which is mostly grass and gravel. With these things in mind, please make wise choices regarding shoes and clothing.

Helpful Tips

  • For our mobility challenged guests, please wear flat soled shoes. If you need assistance walking to the ceremony and reception areas, we’ll be prepared to “shuttle” you back and forth.
  • If you get cold easily, please bring a light jacket or sweater.

Logistics

Is parking available at the venue?

Gravel parking lot on-site. Parking lot is shared with the Taproom. When you pull in, the Farmhouse is to the left of the Taproom. Additional gravel lot across the street from the Taproom.

Guest Info

Can I bring a plus-one or children?

We’ve kept our wedding intentionally small and intimate so we can spend quality time with our closest friends and family. Because of the limited guest list, not everyone will be able to bring a plus-one. We’ve also decided to make the celebration adults-only, with two very intentional exceptions. We truly appreciate your understanding and support as we create a day that feels personal, relaxed, and meaningful to us.

Can I be your photographer?

Please keep phones tucked away during the ceremony; our photographer, Brian, is amazing! However, after we say “I Do,” take as many photos as you’d like! You can share those photos with us via this site starting on the big day. Please leave traditional cameras at home and let our magical photographer make magic.

Can I bring a gift?

Gifts are 100% unnecessary and not required. If you’d like to bring a card with thoughtful, witty, or sarcastic sentiments, we will have a box ready at the reception. If you REALLY would like to gift us something, we ask that you make a donation to the organizations below that are close to our hearts.

Helpful Tips

  • We respectfully ask that you set your phones to Do Not Disturb during the ceremony. We really want you to be focused on the moment with us, rather than taking photos or answering a phone call. It might seem silly to ask, but over the 13 years Steph has been photographing weddings, she's seen it all. Our ceremony will be meaningful, but brief! Help us celebrate, no distractions, no interruptions. And let our photographer document these moments, no phones in sight 😄

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Please let us know about any dietary restrictions or allergies when you RSVP, and we'll make sure you're taken care of!
