  • Welcome Meet & Greet at The Evangeline
    Thursday, August 27, 2026 | 6:30–8:30 PM

    We’ll be kicking off the wedding weekend with a drop-in style meet & greet in the Owner’s House at The Evangeline. Join us for light bites and wine as everyone arrives and the celebrations begin.

  • Brunch at Longfellow’s
    Saturday, August 29, 2026 | 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

    Close out the celebration with a delicious brunch at Longfellow, the on-site restaurant at The Evangeline. Hosted by Robyn and David Wilkenfeld, guests are welcome to stop by anytime between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM for good food, coffee, and a celebratory mimosa.
