FAQs
Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
In order for us to finalize an accurate count to provide to our venue & vendors, we kindly ask you to RSVP by Sunday May 25th, 2025. You can RSVP by heading over to the appropriate tab on the website to proceed.
Question
What happens if I do not RSVP on time?
Answer
To respect the time of our vendors & venue, we ask that everyone responds no later than May 25th, 2025. If you have not responded by the set time (without contacting us) we will count your response as a decline in attending. We ask that you do not show up at our venue, if you have not given an RSVP in the respected time, as we will have already provided a definite head count for our day to run smoothly alongside the wonderful venue staff. We will miss celebrating with you!

Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
Yes please! While we have hired amazingly talented photographers and videographers to capture our day, as a couple we have decided to opt for a “plugged” wedding day. We want you to capture as many memories as you want, and see our special day through your point of view (as long as you share!). We kindly ask that you be mindful to refrain from entering the aisle to take any sort of media or obstruct the hired professionals with flash photography.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
All invited guests will be listed on your invite and RSVP. If you receive a plus one it will be indicated on your invite! Unless specified on your formal invitation, we ask that you do not bring a guest. Due to our venue capacity we will not be accommodating additional guests. Thank you for your understanding!

Invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children who are invited. We understand this may be upsetting, but hope you understand this is how we would like our day to run. We appreciate you making all necessary arrangements to celebrate with us.
Question
What if I have dietary restrictions?
Answer
Indicated on the RSVP page, we have asked that you email us at ianandarie.wedding@gmail.com in case our selected menu does not accommodate your food intolerances. Please let us know as soon as you RSVP so we can work with our venue well in advance. This extends to all guests including children.
