FAQs

If you have any questions that were not answered by any portion of the website, please reach out to Cat or Andrew for further clarification.
Question

Will it be fun?

Answer

Yes.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP to let us know if you can or can't make it by July 15th! We hope to see you there, but understand if you cannot make it.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes - our wedding will be a semi-formal/cocktail event. We kindly ask that no one wears jeans or shorts. Please enjoy dressing up with us because we can't wait to see all of our favorite people. Suggestions for attire might be; Women - Cocktail dress with flats or heels Men - Dress pants, button up, blazer/sports coat, dress shoes/loafers (no sandals, slides, or sneakers) - no tie necessary Here is a video of some great attire examples! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdPkXu1N/ Please avoid bridal colors such as whites and ivories.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invite and/or save the date listed a guest name, then yes you can bring a date. If there is no guest name or "and guest" listed then we kindly ask that you just come yourself. When you RSVP you will only be able to rsvp for those guests named on the invite, no others. We wish we could allow all our guests to bring a plus one/date, but are working with limited capacity at the venue. Please understand we cannot just make room to accommodate any extra guests not formally invited.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Although we love your kids, we kindly ask that this be a kid free night unless your child was named on the invite!

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will start promptly at 5pm and due to the layout of the venue, we ask that everyone arrive and be in their chairs 15-30 minutes before the start of the ceremony so that cars and other transportation does not disrupt the ceremony as it will be held out front of the venue (visible from the parking lot). If for some reason you expect to arrive sometime after the 5pm start time but before the end of the ceremony, we kindly ask that you wait to enter the venue until the ceremony has concluded and guests have moved to the reception. Thank you!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! There will be plenty of parking at the actual venue so there will be no need to worry about any other transportation logistics. Another factor to keep in mind is that our wedding will be open bar and we'd love for everyone to enjoy themselves and have some drinks so please keep that in mind when deciding to drive or possibly uber to the venue from your hotel! We want all our guests to have fun, but also be safe!!

Question

What's on the menu?

Answer

For dinner, we decided to have our wedding catered by one of Andrew and I's favorite food trucks that we frequent, HH Grill. We picked an entree that we thought would be inclusive of all our favorite items and would give variety to our guests. The entree is the sampler platter which includes a portion of each of the following; ribs, pit beef, pulled pork, and sweet Italian sausage. There will also be the option for 2 sides to accompany your entree. The choices for the 2 sides are; mac & cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, and cornbread. We cannot recommend this food truck enough and we can't wait to share a little piece of our home in Pasadena with you.

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Yes! We are having an open bar including select beer, wine and seltzer with 2 signature drinks. Our signature drinks will be Cat’s favorite Margarita and Andrew’s favorite Maryland Orange Crush. The open bar is free for all our guests, but tips are of course appreciated (and encouraged!) as we have family friends working as our bartenders and we’d love to show our appreciation for their hard work all night. If you have been tasked with being DD (designated driver) or are just not looking to drink, we will also have a few kinds of soda and water bottles available!
