Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We hope you will RSVP by May 7, one month prior. Please let us know at the latest by May 24, because that will be the week we finalize our menu and seating. You can RSVP on this website or by texting Barbara. Thank you.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The event begins at 2pm, amd the ceremony is at 3pm. Come as soon as you can to be included in the staged photos, settle into your table, have a beverage, etc. If you cannot make it until after 3, please wait until the ceremony is finished before entering. If all goes as planned, the ceremony will end by 3:30.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, but we hope to make it easy and fun for you. The dresscode is ON THEME or FORMAL. THEME: Fairy tale-fantasy. You can absolutely dress on theme. If you have a medieval/ren-faire/celtic/druid style outfit you would love to wear, please do. You could also add little medieval or fantasy touches to your formal wear, if you wish. Otherwise... FORMAL: (Summer) Sunday Best clothes, the dress clothes that will be comfortable for you, and if you want to dress full black-tie, we love that too. (Please, no jeans, no white dresses, and no fur (please remember we are animal loving vegans) - thank you)

Question

Will all of the food and drink be vegan?

Answer

Yes, we love animals and we do not want to hurt them! No animal products are wanted or allowed.

Question

Will there be gluten free options?

Answer

Yes, we have a few guests that require gluten free food due to allergies, so there will be a marked portion for them.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Yes we have a registry right here on this website. There are many small items we would love, a few dream items that we would only expect as a group gift, and an option to donate cash to our newlywed fund. That fund would go toward some items we are saving for, or possibly an overnight honeymoon trip to a bed and breakfast. Thank you so much.

Question

Will this be a dinner and bar?

Answer

No, but there will be food and drink. We hope that the tapas style food will be satisfying, but it will be a casual, self serve, alcohol free, afternoon event that will end before dinnertime. Drinks will be available all day. Food will be served after the ceremony and be available for you until the end of the reception.

Question

Does the venue have parking?

Answer

Street parking only - Medusa Art Studios is located at 18-14 Astoria Blvd, Astoria, NY 11102.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

This is a small venue and small private ceremony with a capacity limit. All invited are honored guests that we know well. Invitees will have their names on the invitation. so, the answer is no, but just saying that seemed very blunt.😶‍🌫️ We hope you understand.

Question

I have a question I don't see listed here. How can I ask?
