FAQs
Question
Your invitation says it starts at 4:30 PM, but what time should I get there?
Answer
Are you Filipino? Plan to arrive at 2:30 PM. That way, when you are inevitably late, you'll be right on time! Jokes aside, please plan to arrive 10-15 mins early for adequate parking, finding a seat, etc.
Question
Is the ceremony and reception at the same place?
Answer
Yes! Weather permitting, we plan to have the ceremony outside, with the reception inside an air conditioned barn all conveniently located at Sierra Vista.
Question
So what's the parking situation?
Answer
Relax, Sierra Vista has a parking lot for all of our guests.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
August 12th. You can do so on our wedding website. Click on the RSVP tab at the top of the page.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Our registry is done through Zola, and can be found in its own separate tab on our website.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes - semi-formal attire. Emphasis on the semi. Think of it as "dressy casual" Ladies - a nice dress, dressy jumpsuit, will work. If you must know, our bridesmaids are wearing green if you don't want to get caught matching. Please keep in mind proper footwear! We are getting married outside (weather permitting) and walkable paths are predominantly gravel. Gentleman - straight from Chris, "if you’re a man and not wearing slacks, you’re doing something wrong." For those who are filipino, a barong is also acceptable!
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Those permitted a formal "plus one" will have seen it on their invitation. Did you accidentally throw the envelope away? No worries - you can text either of us to clarify. When it comes to RSVP'ing for our wedding, you'll also be able to see if you have a guest.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We have planned a kids-free wedding. We kindly request you leave the little ones at home.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Lynchburg has plenty of hotels to pick from, we highlighted a few under the travel section of our website.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Absolutely! When you go to RSVP there will be a comment for you to let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions.
Question
Are you guys doing the Money dance?
Answer
Yes, of course!! For those of you who aren't familiar with the money dance, it's a cherished Filipino tradition where guests pin money onto the newlyweds' attire as they dance. It symbolizes blessings, financial support, and well-wishes for the couple's future. Want to participate? Simply bring cash with you to the wedding!
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
Unfortunately, we will NOT be able to provide transportation for our guests. Please plan accordingly, and take into account we will be having an open bar.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about?
Answer
Nope, we have our hands full with the wedding as it is. We are NOT having any formal dinners the night before or any breakfast/brunch the day after the wedding.
