FAQs

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

While we do not have a hard and fast dress code, think somewhere between formal and cocktail attire. For ladies, this means floor length to midi length dresses. For men, this means a suit. We want you to feel confident and beautiful (or handsome), so please wear what you love, but keep in mind our ceremony is a Catholic Mass so please keep modesty in mind. Please reserve all shades of white for the bride.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than Saturday, April 5.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Absolutely, please reach out to Emily or Alex with any necessary food accommodations or enter the information on to your RSVP.

Question

Can I bring a date or kids?

Answer

While we are so excited to celebrate with you, we ask that only the people specified on your invitations or RSVP attend the reception. Due to the capacity with our venue, we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We thank you for your understanding!

Question

Is there a cash bar or open bar?

Answer

We’ll be starting the reception with an open bar for the first three hours, so you can enjoy drinks on us! After that, the bar will switch to a cash bar. If you plan to have a drink after the open bar ends, feel free to bring cash.

Question

What do I do between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

There are so many cute restaurants and coffee shops in Hamilton that we recommend checking out between the ceremony and reception! In the past, Alex and I have loved to get a diet coke, chips and salsa during this time! This can also be a great time to check in to the hotel, get settled, and freshen up, if needed! Cocktail hour begins at 5pm with drinks and refreshments!
