To help us with our planning, please RSVP to the event as soon as possible. However, the deadline to RSVP is April 20th, 2025. If we don't receive your RSVP by this date, we will have to mark you as 'no'. We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner. We hope you can understand!
The ceremony will begin at 5:30 pm, so it is best to arrive 30 minutes beforehand to get parked and make your way to the chapel!
Our venue has a large parking lot with plenty of parking free of charge! There is a short walk to the chapel but the venue will provide golf cart rides over for those who need it.
Our wedding ceremony will be held indoors in an open air chapel, free from any rain or unpredictable weather that may occur the day of. The reception will be held on the same property in Carriage Hall, which will be indoors as well. We hope everyone has a wonderful time, rain or shine!
We have decided to have an unplugged ceremony, so we kindly request that phones and cameras be put away at this time. Once the ceremony has concluded, feel free to take any photos or videos you would like!
We would love if our family and friends could join us in dressing up for the occasion! We kindly request a semi-formal or dressy casual dress code for our wedding. Women are invited to wear something a bit more dressier than what you would wear to church but not as formal as what you would wear to a black tie event. For men, suits or dress pants paired with a button-down shirt are recommended. Please no jeans and no white.
As much as we love your little ones, we are only inviting those 8 years and older to the wedding. We hope you understand!
Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you've received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed when you go to RSVP. Otherwise, we ask that only the named people in the RSVP are in attendance. Thank you for understanding!
Yes! There will be an open bar with your favorite wines and beers during cocktail hour through dinner. We want you to have the best time, so the drinks are on us but the hangover is on you!
If you need an allergy or dietary restriction, please let us know!
We are not registered anywhere since we have many items for a home already! If you would like to give a gift, we prefer a cash gift that would go towards our honeymoon. Of course, any gift from our family and friends will always be well appreciated!
If you have any questions that weren't answered by the FAQs, please reach out to Thomas and Mary at 919-628-6864 or maryshepard0212@gmail.com. They will get back to you as soon as they can!
