FAQs
Question
Is the wedding outside?
Answer
Yes! The ceremony and dinner will take place under the stars in the Alamo courtyards. Don’t worry though — we’ll have tents ready if Mother Nature decides to make an appearance. Cocktail hour will be held inside the Alamo’s museum, which doubles as a great spot to warm up, cool down, or sneak away for a little AC break.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP no later than October 8th.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
We adore kids! If your child’s name was included on your invitation, they’re officially on the guest list. If not, just reach out and we’ll make sure a seat (and maybe some dessert) is saved for them.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that phones and cameras stay tucked away during the ceremony, as we want everyone to be fully present in the moment. We’ll have a professional photographer capturing everything, and you’re more than welcome to take photos after the ceremony.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! Formal attire (black tie optional). Think classy, timeless, and worthy of one of the most historic landmarks in Texas. Basically, this is your chance to dress up and look amazing — and we promise the photos will thank you.
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
If your invitation says you have a plus one, then yes — bring them along! If not, we can’t sneak extras in under the radar (the Alamo has pretty strict defenses).
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
The ceremony starts at 6:15 PM sharp. The Alamo is open to the public until 5:30, so you can start arriving anytime after that. Just be sure to be seated by 6:00 PM so we can start on time. Also, downtown parking is… well, downtown parking. Give yourself extra time so you’re not sprinting in heels or a tux.
