Question

Is there a wedding registry?

Answer

Yes, though we aren't in need of more "stuff", so we've set up a few cash funds which you are welcome to give to if you'd like. Your presence will be presents enough, but we understand that some folks may want another way to give. You can find the registry through our site.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Oh, you better believe it's gonna be outdoors. There are plenty of covered areas under which important nuptial occurrences will... occur. That being said, we strongly recommend you bring outdoor shoes and something warm to put on for after the sun goes down.

Question

What's the wedding dress code?

Answer

Being the soonly-weds, we'll be dressed pretty fancy for our wedding. For everyone else, we hope you'll dress in what you'll feel most comfortable wearing. We will be outdoors in October, however, so keep that in mind as you plan your fit. It could get cool at night.

Question

Is the wedding kid friendly?

Answer

Yes! The wedding venue is usually a family friendly music venue and farm, so there's lots of space to run around and a nice little playground area. We totally understand if you'd rather not deal with the hassle of keep track of a little one(s), but they are most welcome.

Question

Are plus-ones allowed?

Answer

Yes, though they're already factored into your invitation so please stick to the number of attendees on your invite.

Question

Where's the wedding ceremony and reception?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will both be held at Mountain Run Farm and it's a reasonably short and level, albeit grassy, walk between the two locations.

Question

Are there accommodations near the venue or hotel room blocks?

Answer

The venue is about an hour from Roanoke and 30 minutes or so from Lynchburg, which are the two largest nearby hubs. Virginia Tech will be having a home football game the same evening, so finding accommodations in Roanoke may be tough. We do have a number of blocks reserved at the Lynchburg Grand Hotel available Friday and Saturday nights, and there are plenty of other hotels and Airbnbs in the area. We recommend you book any accommodations as early as possible as October can be a busy time. See the Travel section of our website for more details.

Question

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the venue?

Answer

Yes. There will be a shuttle to the venue leaving from the Lynchburg Grant Hotel at XXXX on Saturday. The shuttle will then leave the venue at XXXX to bring folks back to the Lynchburg Grand Hotel.

Question

What's the wedding itinerary?

Answer

Everyone is welcome to arrive at the venue between XXX and XXX. There will be some NA refreshments available and plenty of stuff for any kiddos to keep busy with. We will meet at the reception area, which is a short walk from the reception area and parking, at XXX and the ceremony will begin at XXX. Following the ceremony, there will be a cocktail hour that will lead into dinner at XXX.

Question

Are pictures allowed during the wedding ceremony and/or reception?

Answer

We would prefer if you didn't take photos during the ceremony so everyone can be present in the moment. We have a professional photographer who will already be capturing the ceremony in all of its glory. You are welcome to do what you want after that.

Question

What menu options are there for people with dietary restrictions?

Answer

Everything will be entirely plant-based (with the exception of a fish dish) and gluten free (with the exception of some bread which will be kept separate from the other dishes). Most dishes will also be nut free, though if you have a nut allergy, please check with the servers to double check which are safe. Please include any other dietary restrictions you may have in your invitation.

Question

Will there be a rehearsal dinner or welcome party?
