FAQs

Question

What is the plan for Friday night?

Answer

Brandon and I are planning to have dinner at Giordano’s on the strip before we grab an uber over to Fremont Street for the evening. Anyone is welcome to join us or do whatever they please! Dinner will be at 6pm, and it is the best Chicago style deep dish pizza ever!

Question

What Is The RSVP Deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP by September 4th by clicking the RSVP tab above.

Question

What Happens If I Don't RSVP In Time?

Answer

If we do not get a RSVP back by the date which we have provided, it will be marked as a "No". We will miss you celebrating with us, however, we need to have a total guest count to place our catering order for dinner and have enough tables and chairs reserved. If you are not tech savvy you may also contact one of us with your RSVP choice and I will mark it here for you. I will not hunt you down for an RSVP so please either mark it here yourself or let us know by any communication method. We hope that you understand.

Question

What Should I Do If I Cannot Make It?

Answer

You will definitely be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate "Will NOT Attend" on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP'd "Attending", but find that you will not make it, please notify us as soon as you are aware. Our ceremony package offers a livestreaming of the wedding for those unable to make it :)

Question

Can I Bring A Date?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited to your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, it would appear under your name when you RSVP.

Question

Can We Bring Our Children?

Answer

Your small children are welcome, as we understand everyone will be traveling out of state for this. However, keep in mind this is Las Vegas and children are not typically allowed in most places that we will be going. The ceremony and home for our dinner are kid-friendly, but please make sure that they are being watched and not running around. If possible, though, we encourage you to use this as a weekend getaway so that you may participate in all of the festivities with us! Please be advised that Ole Red is a 21+ venue after 10pm.

Question

Is There A Dress Code?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us! Please wear your best black tie or cocktail attire for the event.

Question

What Is The Plan After The Ceremony?

Answer

Following the ceremony, photos with immediate family and ourselves will take place. At about 7pm, we will share our first dance along with a champagne toast and the Mother-Son dance and Father-Daughter dance in the same Garden venue. At 7:45pm we kindly ask that everyone promptly head over to Wendy's home, located about 25 minutes from Little Church of the West, in Summerlin (part of Las Vegas) and we can continue the celebration there!

Question

What Is The Parking Situation?

Answer

The chapel parking lot is not that big and they have other weddings going on as well so we suggest car pooling. Since dinner will be at a residence, we also kindly ask that you car pool or even Uber/ Lyft if you plan on drinking, so that we do not flood the neighborhood. It is in a gated community.

Question

How Will The Dinner Work?

Answer

Dinner will be provided to all of you at Wendy's home! We will have BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse catered for us all. Dinner entrée options will include Shrimp Scampi Pasta, Grilled Chicken Alfredo, Jumbo Spaghetti & Meatballs, as well as Deep Dish Ziti. Caesar salad and garlic parmesan bread will also be available for sides. And for dessert, wedding cake!

Question

What Do I Do If I'm Late For The Ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony is on a strict schedule as our venue does ceremonies throughout the day, so this means we cannot push back our start time for anything due to people running late. The ceremony will start promptly at 6:00 p.m. We recommend guests arrive 30 minutes prior to it starting to ensure you have time to park, mingle, and find a seat. If you happen to be running late, we ask that you sit back and hang tight. This avoids distractions for not only other guests but also the bride and groom. If that happens, you may access the livestream on your phone, and we ask that you still join us for the dinner and afterparty. Thank you for understanding!

Question

What is the Ceremony Photography Situation?

Answer

Our ceremony package allows our guests to take photos and videos from their seats during the ceremony. However, we please ask that you be mindful of your camera/ phone positioning in regards with the photographer as we prefer to not have a bunch of photos with phones in them :) The ceremony will also be livestreamed for anyone unable to travel to Las Vegas with us. At the end of the ceremony, there will be a group photo with all of our attending guests, followed by a quick photo session for us, our bridal party and our immediate family (parents and siblings). We can take more photos at the dinner venue or the afterparty. There will be an additional professional photographer separate from our package at the ceremony and at the dinner as well.

Question

Where Should I Stay?

Answer

You are more than welcome to stay at any place of your choosing. We do not have any "room blocks" or "special rates" anywhere. There are many hotels to choose from in the Fabulous Las Vegas. The Bride and Groom will be staying at the Bellagio.

Question

Will the Evening Take Place Indoors or Outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outdoors with a champagne toast and traditional dances following immediate family photos in the same area as the ceremony and dinner will be held indoors. Followed by a night out at Ole Red, featuring indoor and outdoor spaces and then Fremont Street for the Night Before event. Las Vegas in early October may be as hot as the low 90s high 80s and as cold as the high 40s in the later night. We suggest that you plan accordingly. Welcome to high desert weather!

Question

How Does Seating Work?

Answer

The ceremony and dinner will be open seating.

Question

Do You Have A Registry?

Answer

We do not have a wedding registry! We ask that your travels and presence to celebrate with us alone is enough! However, if you wish to gift us with anything, we would love contributions towards our Honeymoon that we will be taking after the weekend.
