Our wedding is cocktail attire preferred, and will take place both indoors and outdoors. For June in Richmond, we suggest short-to-mid-length dresses, elegant separates, sport coats with pants, or suits. As long as you’re feeling your snazziest and avoiding casual wear, you’ll be just fine.

We’re so excited to celebrate with you at our wedding! Feel free to bring a plus one, just keep in mind that the ceremony and reception are for adults.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Your presence is our present! However, we are working hard to make our honeymoon extra special and would love some help. We are registered through Zola, and you can find more information by clicking on the “Registry” tab. For folks wanting to give a physical gift, we've made a selection of items that improve our daily lives.

Question

Can I bring a gift?

Answer

There will be a box for cards at the reception site during our wedding celebrations. If you wish to gift us a physical item that does not fit inside a card, we kindly request you ship it to us via our registry as there will not be space to leave any boxes at the venue. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Question

Do I need to bring any cash?

Answer

Cash is not required but recommended if you plan on using a valet parking service. Our open bar includes beer, wine, and liquor as well as non-alcoholic options. There will be tip jars present for event staff, but tipping is always completely optional.

Question

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

Answer

Absolutely! We want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy the celebration. Our venue, Common House, takes precautions to prevent cross-contact, but since they use shared equipment (such as the espresso machine steam wand, cutting boards, and fryer oil), they cannot guarantee that any food or beverage is completely allergen-free. If you have a severe allergy or dietary restriction, please let us know. Just use the dietary restriction section of your online RSVP or get in touch with us directly. We’ll work closely with Common House to accommodate as best we can.
