Question

Is there a gift registry?

Answer

No! Your presence at our wedding is a gift in itself, but if you feel inclined to give more, please contrubute to our honeymoon fund located on our website. If you prefer to contribute with a physical monetary gift we will have a box and a QR code to scan on the day of the wedding.

Question

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This means we kindly ask you to put away all phones/devices and put them on silent during the ceremony. Why? well, we've hired a professional team to capture some of the most important moments and we would hate to have a well-meaning person's device blocking that moment from being captured. After the ceremony feel free to take as many photos/videos as you wish!

Question

Can I bring an additional guest?

Answer

We, unfortunately, cannot accommodate additional guest. We can only allow people named on the invitation. Thank you for understanding.

Question

Are children allowed at your wedding?

Answer

We appreciate your understanding that our special day will be adults-only, with the exception of children in our immediate family.
