FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Our wedding is cocktail attire, which is a semi-formal dress code that's a step above business casual but less formal than black-tie. For example, men should consider wearing a dark suit, dress shirt, tie, and leather shoes. Women should look for knee-length or midi dresses in a fabric like silk, chiffon, or satin. Also, keep in mind the December weather and dress accordingly (although our reception will be heated!).
Question
Am I allowed to bring a plus 1?
Answer
In order to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, only the guests formally named and invited on your invitation can be accommodated. If you received a plus one , it will be listed on your invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP through the website.
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
While we love your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event. We hope that you'll take this opportunity to enjoy a date night and we appreciate you making prior arrangements!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time to find parking and your seat. The ceremony will begin at 2 PM, so plan to arrive at 1:30 PM. Once the ceremony begins, entrance will not be granted until the ceremony is complete.
Question
Can I take my own pictures?
Answer
Our ceremony will be device-free. We kindly request that all phones and cameras be turned off during the ceremony, allowing our photographer to capture beautiful pictures of us and our guests without anyone's face obscured by a screen. However, taking photos after the ceremony and during the reception is ENCOURAGED! SNAP THOSE PICS!
Question
What if I didn't RSVP in time?
Answer
If we do not receive your RSVP by the date provided, it will be automatically marked as "Not Attending". We will miss celebrating with you, but it is imperative we provide our vendors with a final guest count within the timeframe they have given us. Thank you for understanding!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
This is going to be a party! The drinks are on us. We ask that all guests drink responsibly and do not drive if you plan on drinking. Please make arrangements for a safe ride home.
Question
What can I do between the ceremony and cocktail hour?
Answer
There will be a brief 75-minute break between when our ceremony ends and when our cocktail hour begins. The drive from the ceremony to the reception is about 25 minutes. In that break, we suggest exploring the Strip District, the Christmas Village in Market Square, or the decorated lobby of the William Penn Hotel (where we got engaged last Christmas!). *One note to keep in mind - if you want to explore the Strip District after the ceremony, you will still need to move your car from the church parking lot as soon as the ceremony ends to make room for 4 PM mass attendees*
Question
Is there parking available?
Answer
Yes! There is accessible parking lots at both the ceremony location and the reception venue. Just keep in mind that cars parked in the church lot for the ceremony will need to be moved immediately after the ceremony ends in order to make space for 4 PM mass attendees.
Question
Where can I RSVP to the rehearsal dinner?
Answer
We are keeping our rehearsal dinner exclusive to our bridal party and immediate family. If you are invited to attend, you will see the option to accept or decline when you RSVP to the rest of the wedding. If that option is not present on your screen - then we will see you at the ceremony!
