Question

***COVID Guidelines***

Answer

Ceremony: As of March 17th, we are limited to only 50 attendees. We had to be very selective with who was able to come and not. We were told to check back mid April and see if the amount lifted to 75 attendees. For those attending, there will be a seating chart keeping people separated within families and separation within the rows. MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL EXCLUDING THE BRIDAL PARTY. Reception: The staff of the Chartiers Room have all been vaccinated at the beginning of this year. They will be wearing masks the entire time. To enter the building, MASKS ARE REQUIRED. Temperatures will be taken at the door also. If you have a high temp, you will be asked to leave for the safety of all those who attend. Once inside, we have opted to make the policy up to the wearer. If you would like to wear a mask, it is perfectly fine. If you do not wish to wear a mask, that is also fine. The biggest thing is to respect one another decision.

Question

Why was there no postage on the RSVP card?

Answer

We made a mistake that was too late to fix. We were halfway done with getting all the invitations sorted and affixed, with either ceremony or reception, and realized that we had not put them on. Our only option aside opening them all up again, was to hope everyone would be okay with putting a stamp on them. Thank you for those who do!

Question

Why am I not invited to the ceremony?

Answer

We can promise you that we wanted everyone to come, and it saddens us that it is not possible anymore. Covid has changed so much for our wedding and it is crazy. BUT we are adding the option of live streaming our wedding in case people were not invited or would prefer that method for their general safety. We are completely understanding if people cannot make it for covid reasons.

Question

Is there a possibility for more people to be added to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! We are hoping the restrictions will be let up from just 50 to 75 at Old St. Lukes. The capacity includes everyone also working within the church such at the Reverend, the director, the photographer, etc.

Question

I am bringing cookies, what do I need to know?

Answer

Please tell Austin or Kiersten what kind you are bringing that way we can keep track of who is bringing what. This ensures we do not have five of the same cookies and that we are able to map out where they go on our sixteen-foot cookie table! If we do not know, they will not have a place and will not be set out till very late. Our reception hall would also like them the day prior (Thursday 13th) if possible, if not, please let us know that you are bringing the cookies the day of.

Question

Are kids invited? Am I allowed to bring someone who was not invited?

Answer

Yes, just please let Kiersten and Austin know. There may have been a mix-up with who was added or not. With planning two whole separate occasions, it is very difficult to keep track of all who is going where.

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

For both the ceremony and reception, there is plenty! Large parking lots by each building with handicap spots if needed.

Question

Food Options at the Reception

Answer

We are working with the Cooked Goose Catering Company. We have heard nothing but good reviews from them! Our menu will consist of two meat options and one vegetarian. Please reach out to us if you have any other dietary restrictions that we can tell the caterers. The 'cake' for the night will be doughnuts from Party Cake Shop in Brookline. Both, Austin and Kiersten, do not enjoy eating cake so they found another option they both love. Split a doughnut to celebrate their love!

Question

Open Bar?

Answer

Yes! We encourage it. Please go shot for shot with another party-goer, as long as you have a plan for what will happen at the end of the night. Austin and Kiersten are not responsible for any incidents that may occur and have a liability license for the reception.

Question
