When do I need to RSVP by?
Our invitations were sent on February 26, so keep an eye on your mailbox! Once yours arrives, please send your RSVP back by April 20, 2026 so we can finalize the details and get ready to celebrate with everyone who is going to the Chapple! 💌
What should I wear?
Our celebration will be formal. Gentlemen, a suit and tie are ideal. Ladies, we suggest a long or midi dress, a chic jumpsuit, or an elegant pant suit. Since we’ll be celebrating in June, light fabrics and summery shades are perfect choices.
To keep the atmosphere elegant, we kindly ask that guests avoid jeans, sneakers, and casual clothing.
What time should I arrive?
Please plan to arrive at the venue by 3:15PM to get settled before the ceremony begins at 3:30 PM sharp.
Where to park?
For those driving to The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake, free parking will be available at the venue.
Guests who wish to leave their cars overnight are welcome to do so, but please note: all vehicles must be picked up by 11:30 AM on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
Should I expect to be outside?
Yes, a little of both! We’ll say “I do” at the lakefront ceremony, sip and mingle during an outdoor cocktail hour, and then head inside for the reception. With floor-to-ceiling windows and gorgeous views of the lake, you’ll get the best of both worlds.
Are kids welcome?
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adult celebration, we hope you’ll use this opportunity to enjoy a special date night!
What’s the nearest airport to The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake?
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is the closest major airport, roughly 35 minutes from the venue. We suggest renting a car or using a rideshare service for easy travel.
