FAQs
Question
Do I need to RSVP for the hotel shuttle?
Answer
Yes, please! Due to the large amount of out-of-town guests attending, the number of seats are limited. Sadly, those who RSVP later may not have an available seat. We apologize for the inconvenience and are so appreciative of all of our traveling guests!
Question
Will there be parking for guests who are driving?
Answer
Yes! Someone will direct you to a parking spot upon arrival.
Question
What kind of shoes are appropriate for the wedding?
Answer
Most of the ceremony and reception will take place in grass and on small gravel both outside and in a barn. For ladies, I would recommend flats, wedges, or chunky heels. Stilettos may cause you to have an unpleasant evening!
Question
Is it an open bar?
Answer
Absolutely. There will be enough beer and wine to last the evening. There will be also be liquor provided for cocktail hour following the ceremony, however, it may not last the entire evening. As this is a farm wedding, please feel free to bring your own flask...etc. if you feel so inclined. :) Water and soda will also be provided for guests throughout the night.
Question
What time does the shuttle leave for the hotel?
Answer
There is only 1 shuttle that will leave in 3 shifts: 1) 11:00pm 2) 12:00 am 3) 1:00 am When you arrive, someone will greet guests using the shuttle to mark the time you would like to leave that night to avoid cramming 40 people into the last call shuttle and/or having people sleep in the barn. ;)
Question
What time does the shuttle leave the hotel for the ceremony?
