FAQs

Please see below for some helpful information regarding our big day.
Question

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will both be held at The Athletic Club of Columbus.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

Unless your invitation specifically lists your child, we kindly request that all guests leave their little ones at home. We hope that you can use this as an opportunity to have a date night on us!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

While we are not specifying a dress code, we encourage all our guests to dust off their favorite dress clothes and come looking and feeling their best!

Question

How do I get to the venue?

Answer

Since many of our guests are traveling from out of town and might not be staying in the same location, there has been no shuttle service arranged. Therefore, we ask that guests figure out their transportation to the venue on their own. A hotel block has been set up at the Renaissance Hotel which is located behind the Athletic Club. For those who are local to Columbus and do not wish to Uber, the bride and groom have arranged for complimentary valet parking through the Athletic Club. Simply pull up to the blue awning on the front of the building and an Athletic Club staff member will handle the parking of your vehicle.

Question

What is the timeline for the day?

Answer

Our ceremony will start promptly at 5:30 pm and go approximately 30 minutes. Cocktail hour will begin at 6:00 pm and the reception will begin at 7:00 pm. Our night will conclude at 11:00 pm.

Question

Is there a gift registry?

Answer

Yes! The bride and groom have curated a wedding registry of items for them to start their lives together. There will also be an option to donate to the bride and groom's honeymoon fund. For guests that would like to bring cards, there will be a card box available to place them in. You can find a donation spot for our honeymoon linked in the registry tab above, alternatively, the bride and groom are registered at Target and Pottery Barn.

Question

Are there any other wedding events I can attend?

Answer

Yes! The bride and groom plan to host a small bridal brunch at their home on Sunday morning. There will be bagels and pastries provided, as well as coffee and juice. This is an open invite! Anyone is welcome to stop by and see our home.

Question

Who can I contact with any additional questions?
