Final Details for Our Masquerade
We're almost there! Here's everything you need to know for Sunday, November 1.

The entrance can be a little tricky to find, so we recommend arriving around 4:15 PM to give yourself time to park and settle in. And don't forget, clocks fall back that morning!

What should I wear?
Formal, black-tie optional. We'd love to see deep jewel tones: ruby, plum, emerald, sapphire, and antique gold. Above all, be comfortable and dress to the spirit of the masquerade at whatever level feels right to you.
Do I need a mask?
Yes! Masks stay on for cocktail hour and our grand entrance, then come off after our welcome toast. Keep yours handy, though: masks go back on for the group waltz. Forgot yours, or asked us to set one aside? Stop by the mask stand during cocktail hour.
What's the Masquerade Ballot?
During cocktail hour, you'll find a ballot waiting for you. As you mingle, collect the names of the guests you meet, then vote for:
The showstopper, whether store-bought, handmade, or heirloom
The guest who brought the masquerade to life, head to toe
The guest you walked past twice without recognizing
Couples, families, or friend groups who clearly planned this together
Drop your completed ballot at the ballot stand during cocktail hour, or turn it in before dinner begins. Winners will be announced during the reception, and yes, there are prizes. Your ballot also doubles as your entry into a drawing, so be sure to write your own name on it!
The Main Event
Absolutely. We'll start with a group waltz, and we'd love for all of you to join us, no experience required. Two left feet are welcome, and so are their partners. Want a head start?
Later, the dance floor opens for the rest of the night, with line dances, tita-friendly favorites, and a glow-up hour to close out the evening.
We'll be sharing the Sayaw ng Pera, or money dance, a Filipino wedding tradition where guests pin a bill to the couple's attire for good luck and blessings on the marriage. You'll have a chance to dance one-on-one with the bride or groom, followed by a group dance with both of us. If you'd like to join in, bring a few small bills. Participation is entirely optional, and cheering from the sidelines counts too.
Yes! The venue's indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful, so take advantage of the photo spots throughout the grounds. The photo booth opens in the ballroom at 5:30 PM, where you can take home a printed keepsake and a digital copy. Most of all, please grab a photo with our photographer: we'll be adding your pictures to our guestbook, and we'd love for every one of you to be in it. Masks on or masks off, we want to see you strike a pose.
Yes. Complimentary valet parking is available at the entrance. A coat check will also be available.
Email us at romulusxsarahni@gmail.com or text either of us. On the day of the reception, texting is the best way to reach us.
We can't wait to celebrate with you. See you at the masquerade!
