FAQs
Question
How/where/when do I RSVP?
Answer
We kindly request that everyone respond by Friday July 25th (we hope you can all make it, but understand if you can’t!). RSVP here: https://www.zola.com/wedding/beccaandelliot2025/rsvp Let us know who will be coming, and please let us know if you will be needing transportation to or from the venue
Question
Do I get a plus one?
Answer
Don’t worry - if you have a significant other we’ve most likely taken them into account. If we’ve somehow missed or forgotten about them, please let us know! We definitely don’t want you to leave your better half at home!
Question
What do I do with my kids?
Answer
For those of you coming from afar (anywhere outside the borders of Vermont), we’re happy to host your whole family (including the little ones!). If you’re local, we kindly request that you leave your young ones with a friend or a sitter!
Question
Will there be an afterparty?
Answer
Yes! We’d love for you all to join us after the reception at Howl Bier in Winooski to keep the celebration going! We will be providing pizza and a couple of rounds for everyone and encourage everyone to open their own tabs as well. Party will go from 11:30 PM to 1:30 AM. A bus will leave the venue at 11 PM and stop in Winooski for anyone who would like to come - the bus will then continue on to Burlington after the party is over.

Question
Where is the wedding?
Answer

Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
Yes! Thanks in advance for your generosity!! https://www.zola.com/wedding/beccaandelliot2025/registry
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Hopefully perfect! In all likelihood the weather in early September will still be summer-like, albeit with slightly cooler evenings. Expect high temperatures during the day of 75-80 degrees (22-25 Celsius) and evening lows around 60 (15 C). Rain up here in the north is always a possibility, so bring an umbrella or a raincoat just incase (the wedding will be happening, rain or shine!). Mosquitoes are also somewhat busy in early September so bring insect repellent if you plan on spending any time outdoors!
Question
Do you have room blocks for out of town guests?
Answer
Yes! Check the Travel and Lodging page for more details. Keep in mind that most of the blocks (and therefore the discounted rates) are only available until mid July
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Semi-formal attire is recommended - for men, think suits or blazers + slacks with button down shirts (ties optional!) and for women, think midi/cocktail dresses or rompers. We don’t get to dress up often in VT, let’s get fancy for this! As long as there is no rain in the forecast, we will be getting married outside in the vineyard. For those of you planning on wearing heels, may we recommend wedges and block heels over stilettos?
Question
I’m kosher / vegetarian / gluten free / allergic to peanuts. Will I be okay at the wedding?
Answer
Our menu is very veg-friendly, given that it’s the best time of year in VT for local produce. We will also have multiple options for gluten-free folks. The menu is kosher-style (no pork, shellfish or meat/dairy combos) but not kosher. If you’re concerned, please reach out and let us know!
Question
How long will the ceremony be? How about the reception?
Answer
The ceremony will be around 30 minutes, followed by an hour of cocktails and appetizers. The reception will begin at 6 PM and will be done at 11. This will include dinner and lots of dancing!
