FAQs

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

No, we do not have a traditional wedding registry. After more than six years together, we've already blended our families, built a home, and collected just about everything we need. Because of that, we felt a registry wasn't necessary for this chapter of our lives. Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift we could receive. Having our family and friends gathered together to celebrate with us is what matters most, and we genuinely hope you'll join us for our special day. For those who have asked and would like to give a gift, we will be setting up a honeymoon fund. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will be greatly appreciated and will help us create new memories as we begin this next chapter together. Please know there is absolutely no pressure or expectation to contribute. We already have everything we need, and we're simply grateful to have the people we love surrounding us as we say "I do."

Question

Can we bring our kid(s)?

Answer

Absolutely! Children are welcome at our wedding. We ask that you let us know in advance, so we can plan accordingly with our chef. Many of our guests have children we've watched grow up over the years, and in many cases, they're family—or family in every way that matters. We love the idea of celebrating alongside multiple generations and having the little ones be part of such a special day. That said, we do ask parents to remember that this is a wedding ceremony and reception. If your child becomes upset, restless, or needs a break during the ceremony, we kindly ask that you step away briefly until they're comfortable again so everyone can enjoy the moment. We also trust our family and friends to use their best judgment when deciding whether their children will enjoy and be comfortable at an all-day wedding celebration. Every child is different, and you know yours best. If a night with grandparents, relatives, or a trusted sitter sounds like the better option, we completely understand. Most importantly, we want everyone—kids and adults alike—to have a wonderful time celebrating with us. Thank you for helping us create a fun, respectful, and enjoyable atmosphere for all of our guests.

Question

Can we take pictures? Ceremony/Reception

Answer

We kindly ask that our ceremony be an unplugged ceremony, meaning we'd love for all phones, cameras, and other devices to be put away while we exchange our vows. We have hired a photographer whose work we absolutely love, and we've trusted her to capture every special moment of our ceremony. One of our biggest wishes is to look out and see the faces of our family and friends—not a sea of phones. We also want to ensure that our professional photos aren't filled with raised devices blocking the view or distracting from those once-in-a-lifetime moments. For just a little while, we invite you to be fully present with us. Laugh, cry, smile, and experience the ceremony alongside us without worrying about capturing the perfect photo. Once the ceremony is over, the phones can come right back out! We would love for you to take photos throughout the reception and celebration. In fact, we'll have QR codes posted around the venue where you can easily upload and share the pictures and videos you capture throughout the evening. Some of our favorite memories may end up being the candid moments you catch, and we'd love to see the day through your eyes. So please help us keep the ceremony unplugged, then snap away during the reception and share all the fun with us!

Question

What time should we arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 30–45 minutes before the ceremony begins. This will give you plenty of time to park, pick a seat, greet friends and family, and settle in before the festivities start. Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4 PM, and we want everyone to be present as we say "I do." We can't wait to celebrate with you and appreciate your help in making our day as seamless and special as possible!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be at the same location?

Answer

Yes! Both our ceremony and reception will take place at the same venue, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy the day without having to travel between locations. Both events will be indoors, so regardless of the weather, we will be great! Once the ceremony concludes, guests will be invited to enjoy cocktail hour while we take a few photos with family and our wedding party. Afterward, we'll gather together for dinner, dancing, and an evening of celebrating. Feel free to bring your own coolers and preferred beverages. We love that our venue allows us to keep everything in one place so you can spend less time traveling and more time making memories with us!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our wedding attire is casual, and we want our guests to feel comfortable while celebrating with us! Our wedding style is a blend of the bride's bohemian spirit and the groom's southern roots, so you'll see everything from flowing dresses and floral prints to boots and cowboy hats. Feel free to embrace either style—or simply come as you are. Sundresses, casual dresses, button-down shirts, polos, khakis, nice jeans, boots, and other comfortable, wedding-appropriate attire are all welcome. The most important thing is that you're comfortable and ready to celebrate with us. Whether you arrive in boots, sandals, or somewhere in between, you'll fit right in!

Question

Will dinner be served?

Answer

Absolutely! A delicious dinner will be served during the reception, and we're especially excited because our meal is being prepared by a very dear friend of our family. If you've spent any time at the race track over the years, chances are you've already enjoyed his cooking. He's been serving up great food for years, and we couldn't imagine a better person to help feed our family and friends on such a special day. We're grateful to have someone we know and love be part of our wedding day, and we can't wait for everyone to enjoy a meal made with the same care, hospitality, and heart that he's always shared with us. Come hungry—we promise you won't leave disappointed!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

No, we will not be providing an open bar. However, guests are welcome to bring their own adult beverages to enjoy throughout the evening. As many of you know, some of our favorite memories have been made gathering with friends, sharing stories, laughter, and cold drinks together. We want our wedding day to have that same relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where everyone can enjoy each other's company and celebrate alongside us. That said, our venue is a special place that belongs to family member, and we ask that all guests help us care for it as if it were their own. Please drink responsibly, clean up after yourselves, and be respectful of the property and those around you. We are incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to celebrate in a place that means so much to us, and we want to leave it just as beautiful as we found it. Our goal is simple: relax, have fun, make memories, and help us honor the family and venue that are making this day possible.
