WHAT TO WEAR

We aim for a relaxed yet polished look that you can have fun in. This is Minnesota, and it may be hot, cool, or just right -- come prepared! The area is treated for mosquitos and bugs, but it never hurts to add another layer of protection.

DINNER

Our gluten-free buffet dinner includes Chicken Piccata, Dijon Crusted Pork Loin, Poached Pear Salad, Herb Roasted Root Vegetables, Cucumber Salad. Vegetarian option is Pesto Three Cheese Tortellini with Campari Tomatoes; please indicate in RSVP if you require a Vegetarian entree. The children's meal is Chicken Tenders, Mac & Cheese, Carrots, Applesauce, Ranch Dressing and Ketchup.

CHILDREN ARE WELCOME

There is lots of room to move around, games available, and fun sculptures to see! Children's meal includes Chicken Tenders, Mac & Cheese, Carrots, Applesauce, Ranch Dressing and Ketchup. Please make a note in your RSVP for kids meals.

FLOWER GARDENERS

Just for fun if you're a flower gardener, and you want to bring something from your garden, we will have extra bud vases and jars available for flowers to add your color to the festivities!

YOUR PRESENCE IS OUR GREATEST GIFT

We are well established and gifts are not an expectation. If you have something personal or meaningful you'd like to share, we would hold that dear. If you'd like to celebrate our love by making a charitable contribution, Humanity Alliance, the American Red Cross, or the Alzheimer's Foundation are organizations we believe are doing great work.

DRINKS & ALCOHOL

Complementary wines, beers, ciders, and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided by Parley Lake Winery during the reception, at the outside bar. Please note that guests are not allowed to bring outside alcohol onto the premises, per venue rules.

RESTROOMS

Restrooms are located on the lower level of the barn. You can get there by taking the elevator next to the wine tasting counter, the stairs, or enter from outside behind the deck.
