FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP By?

Answer

To help us with our planning, please RSVP to the events as soon as possible. However, the deadline is March 24, 2025. If we don't receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and 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.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will be starting promptly at 4:30 pm. We recommend guests arrive between 3:45-4:15 so there is time to mingle and find a seat. If you happen to be late, someone will be there to let you know if they are still allowing guests in or if you will need to wait until the ceremony is over. If that happens, you will still be able to attend the reception, so hang tight, and we will see you during cocktail hour. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The dress code for our wedding is formal and we encourage all guests to wear shades of pastel pink, yellow, lavender, green, orange, and blues. Think spring! For women, flowy, midi or maxi-length dresses and dressy jumpsuits in floral or pastel tones are perfect. For men, a suit or dress pants with a blazer in light or neutral shades works well - ties are optional. Please no jeans! We also kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless it is SPECIFICALLY indicated on your envelope. For example, your envelope would list "(your name) & Guest." For families, it will list "The (your last name) Family." When you go to RSVP, you will be able to see the exact number of people you can RSVP for.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we love your little ones, our wedding is exclusively for adults, with the exception of the children who are part of our wedding party. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and hope that you will see this as an opportunity to let your hair down and enjoy the party with us!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both will be held indoors. The ceremony will be held in the greenhouse while the reception will be in the barn.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is plenty of parking at The Barn on the Pemi.

Question

How does seating work?

Answer

The ceremony will be open seating, so sit wherever you please. However, the seats at the front are reserved for immediate family. Please respect these reserved seats and sit in the general area unless directed otherwise. For the reception, we will be carefully arranging tables so our guests are sat with those they know (or their plus one or partner).

Question

Can we take our own pictures & videos throughout the day?

Answer

Our ceremony inside the greenhouse will be unplugged. For this, we ask ALL phones and cameras to be put away and there to be no pictures OR videos taken! You are more than welcome to take photos and videos throughout the course of the reception. This is such a special day for us, and we have the most amazing photography and videography team documenting our day, that way you are able to take it all in, celebrate and be in the moment with us!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes, we will have a trolley picking up our guests from the hotels where we have room blocks. The trolley will pick up our guests at the Common Man Inn & Spa at 3:30 and 4:00 and will pick up our guests from the Fairfield Inn at 4:00 pm.
