FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
May 12th, 2024! If you do not RSVP by this date, we will not be able to accommodate your presence.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
4:00 p.m. Our ceremony will begin at 4:30 p.m.. Those who arrive late will not be able to join us for the ceremony.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We kindly ask that you do not bring any additional guests. Unless there is an option for an additional guest indicated on your RSVP, you will not be able to bring a plus one. We are having a smaller wedding and our venue cannot accommodate those that we do not have planned!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! We kindly ask guests to arrive in 'Garden Party Attire' or 'Semi-formal'! Think tasteful, moody, and dark. Absolute "NO": jeans, white colored clothing (except shirts!), or neons. We have created a Pinterest board to help with ideas: https://pin.it/3DqSpJH
Question
Is there parking for the venue?
Answer
Yes! Parking is available in a small lot just outside the front gate or along the street on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive or Oakland Avenue. Lock your car and do not leave valuables in view: 366 M.L.K. Jr Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30312 Please allow yourself plenty of time to park at the venue; as this is a public cemetery/park, other people may be parking in the lot that is available. If possible, carpooling to the venue will also reduce any stress of finding parking space!
Question
I have mobility issues, is there parking that is closer?
Answer
Yes! We are able to have guests park inside the cemetery (small vehicles only) who cannot make the walk to the ceremony and reception site from the parking lot. We ask that cars are not parked directly outside our reception site at Bell Tower or within view of the ceremony site. Guests are welcome to be driven directly to the ceremony site and let out while another guest parks the vehicle at another location. If you park inside the cemetery, pull your vehicle off to the right of any asphalt-paved roadway, leaving enough space for other cars to pass. Be especially careful not to damage walls and trees.
Question
Is smoking allowed at the venue?
Answer
No. We ask that you please keep in mind that our venue is smoke free; meaning that if you need to do so, you will need to step outside of the cemetery grounds.
