FAQs

Question

Can I take my own pictures or videos of the ceremony?

Answer

Great question! We have been looking forward to this day for the past two years, and our #1 ask is that during the ceremony that you be there fully present with us. We have two incredible photographers who will be taking pictures and you will get the photos AS SOON as we have them... we promise! With that said, our ceremony area is a "Cell Phone Free Zone" and we ask if you could support us by putting your phones away and being fully present for this special moment!

Question

What are your COVID procedures for the wedding?

Answer

We are extremely hopeful that many people will be vaccinated by our wedding date, which has informed a lot of how we plan to approach our special day. Both our wedding party & ourselves will be semi-quarantining for at least a week prior to our wedding to reduce the risk of spread as much as possible & will be taking a test with results available by our wedding day. We would appreciate you also being conscious of your activities for at least a week prior to our wedding (bonus if you’re willing to get a test yourself). Personally, we will not be wearing masks on our day. You can absolutely wear one if you'd like to, but at this point they will not be required to attend. The ceremony should hopefully be outside (pending weather) and to the same point, we should be able to have doors and windows open for the reception! And of course, please don't attend if you have any signs or symptoms of COVID. Thanks so much in advance for your understanding & we can't wait to celebrate with you :)

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are registered at Zola, Amazon, Etsy, and Crate & Barrel. You can find all of the registries right on the "Registry" page of our website! You can also find the Amazon, Etsy, and Crate & Barrel registries by going to the websites and searching our names.

Question

Do I need to bring cash for the bar?

Answer

We will have 2 hours of open bar, separated into 2 separate 1-hour periods. Outside of this, it will be cash bar. The bar takes credit or debit card, with a $10 minimum. If you want to order something that's less than $10, you will need cash - Rustic Manor has an ATM right next to the bar if you forget to bring cash. You just need to plan accordingly. :)

Question

Are my kids invited / Can I bring a date?

Answer

For both of these parties, this will be indicated on your invite. Your invite would look like this: "Your name + guest" or "Your name + Your kid(s)' name(s)" If you've been permitted a guest or children as guests, you must also be sure to RSVP them by the RSVP date.

Question

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Answer

You CANNOT. Per Wisconsin state regulations, outside alcohol is not permitted on Rustic Manor grounds. This means neither the wedding party NOR the guests may bring alcohol to our ceremony or reception. Please respect Rustic Manor, Brandon, and Leah by following this rule.

Question

Can I smoke (or vape) onsite?

Answer

You will be able to smoke in sites designated by Rustic Manor on the grounds, but there is absolutely no tolerance for smoking in the barn. Please be kind and courteous, as they will be able to charge $150 for cleanup fees, which will become your responsibility.
