FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

I know we're super late in even sending these invitations out.. that being said, it'd be super helpful to have your RSVPS as soon as possible, but no later than March 1st.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

It's super important to us that everyone is comfortably situated well before 12 noon, hence our arrival time of 11:30 am for the mass/ceremony.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress code is semi formal - so no tuxes, but suits for men, and nice dresses for women.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please refer to your invitation to see if a plus one is included - we've sadly got a super tight guest list due to venue limitations!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

The main offerings will be composed exclusively of meat, cream, gluten, MSG, and alcohol, but we'll definitely have a supplementary and delicious vegetarian option and a few unappealing gluten free snacks, and lots of organic grass all over the estate.

Question

How Far Away Is the Reception from the Mass/Ceremony?

Answer

The Reception in Madison VA is approximately 2 hours away from the Mass in Washington DC. Highly recommended you stay in the vicinity of the venue, ideally at Graves Mountain Lodge - It'll be an incredible time, and you'll love it out there!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Graves Mountain Lodge!!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

The parking for the Mass in Washington DC is street parking, but not too bad. There is an entire lot (grass field) just for us at the venue in Madison VA.

Question

Can I drive home from the wedding after I've had 14 drinks?

Answer

Absolutely not! We and our venue host insist that no one leaves operating a motor vehicle after drinking even 2 drinks - luckily we'll provide shuttles from the venue to Graves Mountain Lodge, 3 minutes away.

Question

There is no cellphone reception at the venue? Really?

Answer

Yup.. There is very limited cellphone service at the venue, so Instagramming and ordering Ubers could be challenging, but we'll have scheduled shuttles to take people to Graves after the wedding.

Question

Can I bring my kids even though they weren't on the invitation?

Answer

Sadly no, we have a hard limit on the number of guests we can bring, and we also want everyone to be able to totally unwind and have a great time!
