Question
Have you registered for gifts?
Answer
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for, and we are so grateful to celebrate this day with you. If you would like to honor us with a gift, we are also happy to graciously accept cash gifts or gift cards, which will go toward building and furnishing our new home together. We have created a registry with items that reflect things we truly love and will use in our daily lives. The items listed are suggestions and examples of what we are hoping for as we begin this new chapter. We are also making a conscious effort in our home to reduce plastic use. We prefer materials such as glass, wood, cotton, and other natural or sustainable materials whenever possible, as they better align with our lifestyle. Thank you so much for your love, support, and generosity—it means the world to us as we start this journey together.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes! Please see the travel page on our website for recommendations. However, we recommend renting Airbnbs since they are cheaper than hotels.
Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
We’re happy to offer transportation from select hotels to the wedding venue in Bastrop for guests who prefer not to drive. However, guests are also very welcome to rent a car for their stay. If you’re staying in Austin, please keep in mind that rideshare services (such as Uber or Lyft) may become costly due to the distance, as Bastrop is located about 30–40 miles away. For convenience and flexibility—especially if you plan to explore the Austin area during your visit—having a rental car is often the most practical option. We’ll share shuttle pickup times and locations closer to the wedding date.

Question
I have a food restriction/allergy, can I make a special request?
