Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

The easiest way to RSVP is right here, through Zola! Please feel free to answer the additional questions that come along with the RSVP. If you are not tech savvy and would prefer to mail in your RSVP, an RSVP card and envelope will be included with your mailed invitation.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

We are not registered at any single place. We have a registry listed here on our wedding website with things that can be found at various stores or online. We also have a few funds such as our Honeymoon fund, YMCA membership fund, Cruise Excursion funds and others that you can contribute to through this website if you choose.

Question

Where can I stay?

Answer

A block of rooms have been reserved at both the Fairfield Inn and the Residence Inn. Both are located in Bangor, ME. Please see the “Travel” page for more information! You may have some luck finding places to stay through Airbnb or Vrbo.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! There will be a shuttle available to transport to and from the hotel and venue.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 3pm. Please arrive to the venue no later than 2:45pm.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to capacity constraints, only those listed on your invitation are permitted to attend unless otherwise specified. If you have not been given a plus one and would like one, please contact the bride. If an opening on the guest list has opened up, your request for a guest might be permitted. We hope you understand!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

The short answer is YES! If your invitation says “The _____ family” or includes your child’s name, your child is invited to attend! If your child is not included on the invitation, this is likely due to venue capacity. If you would like to bring your child(ren) and they were not included on the invitation, please contact the bride. If a spot on the guest list has opened up, you child(ren) might be permitted to join. Please note that while children are welcome, there will be alcohol present. You will be responsible for watching over your own children at the event. Please be aware of this, as to be kind and courteous to the bride, groom, and other attendees. We hope you understand!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Not necessarily, but it is recommended that guests come in semi formal or cocktail attire. Dress to impress, but also know that your comfort is important to us!

Question

Can I use my phone to take pictures for social media?

Answer

The ceremony will be an unplugged ceremony. This means that there will be no phones permitted for picture taking. We have hired a wonderful photographer to capture all of the special moments, so please let him do his job without needing to work around you and your cellphones! Phones will be permitted (and encouraged) for photo taking during the reception! A QR code will be available at your table to upload all photos taken to one place! Please refrain from posting photos of the bride and groom online until they have done so themselves. Thank you and we hope you understand!

Question

Where should I sit?

Answer

There will be no assigned “bride” or “groom” side at the ceremony. You are all considered a part of our family so please feel free to sit where you’d like. Please keep in mind that the first couple rows will be reserved for immediate family, so please refrain from sitting in these rows if you are not a parent, sibling/siblings partner, grandparent, or niece/nephew of the couple. There will be assigned tables at the reception, so please check for signage indicating which table you are at! We encourage everyone to mix and mingle following the seated dinner.

Question

Are the ceremony and reception at the same place?

Answer

Yes they are!

Question

Is it an open bar?

Answer

Yes! While there will be no shots/hard liquor available at the bar, there will be a variety of beer, wine, seltzer, wine coolers, and bottled mixed drinks available.

Question

I have a food allergy. Can I make a special request?

Answer

Your virtual RSVP includes a section to disclose any dietary restrictions. If your restriction/allergy isn’t listed please contact the bride to communicate any accommodations needed.
