FAQs

Question

How is COVID-19 affecting your wedding?

Answer

We're excited to see you nearly a year later than planned! For everyone's safety, we ask that only fully vaccinated adults and young adults attend our wedding and reception; children not yet eligible for a vaccine are welcome, as long as you are comfortable. There is currently an indoor mask requirement in public spaces in Baltimore City, regardless of vaccination status, except when eating or drinking. While our wedding is a private event, The Elm is a public space. So pull out your favorite, most stylish (or comfortable) mask to wear during the reception.

Question

When should I RSVP?

Answer

We need to know if you'll be joining us by September 1, but feel free to RSVP anytime before then! If your plans change after you RSVP, please let us know at brianandkathleen2020@gmail.com.

Question

I can't find my name to RSVP. Help!

Answer

Try searching for your first name and last name. The system won't recognize just one or the other. If you still can't find your name, please contact us at brianandkathleen2020@gmail.com.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

Check out the Travel page of our website for hotel and airbnb recommendations. We recommend booking your lodging as soon as you know you'll be joining us.

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

No. You can easily catch an Uber, Lyft, or cab from anywhere in Baltimore, and it may be less expensive than parking (especially if you are staying downtown).

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Casual to dressy casual (and your dancing shoes). Be comfortable. The ceremony is outside, and it may be hot; the reception will likely be indoors and will be air conditioned.

Question

Is there parking at The Elm?

Answer

Yes. There is free parking in the Mill Center parking lot. The entrance to the lot is at the intersection of Mill Street and Darby Street. Please note, you'll see Mill Center Parking Only signs. The owners of The Elm have permission to use the parking lot on Saturdays, so you are welcome to park there.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend that you arrive a half hour before the start of the ceremony to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled!

Question

Will there be food options for those with special dietary concerns?

Answer

Yes. We'll have delicious vegetarian and gluten-free options on the menu. If you want to know more, email us at brianandkathleen2020@gmail.com.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We do not have a traditional wedding registry. We would much prefer experiences or donations to one of our favorite causes in honor of our wedding to tangible gifts. Here are a few ideas: - Give us a date night. We love eating good food; tasting beer and wine; going to concerts, the theater, the movies, art exhibits, and other museums; and sharing new experiences. - Contribute toward the trip we are planning to celebrate our nuptials - a trip to Alaska to explore the beautiful scenery. You can find our Honeymoon Fund here: https://www.zola.com/wedding/brianandkathleen0918/registry - Donate in our honor to the ACLU (https://www.aclu.org/), Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (https://barcs.org/), Cash Campaign of Maryland (http://cashmd.org/ ), or Planned Parenthood (https://www.plannedparenthood.org/).
