FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
We kindly ask that everyone submits their RSVP responses before Monday June 8, 2026 in the RSVP tab.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! Our wedding is black-tie optional. This means we would prefer for guests to be in black-tie attire (tux’s and gowns), but it's not required. Dark formal suits (black, dark grey or navy) and floor length or maxi dresses are also appropriate. We just want to see all of our favorite people get dressed up for our big day. If you are still confused on what black-tie optional entails, feel free to reach out to the bride and groom.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
If you are not taking one of our shuttles and driving or taking an uber, please ensure you arrive at The Grandview between 4:30-4:45pm as the ceremony will start promptly at 5pm.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
As much as we love seeing your little one's, our wedding is exclusively for adults, with the exception of immediate family who are in the wedding.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you've received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed on your invitation. Otherwise, we ask that only the named people on the invitation are in attendance. We appreciate you understanding!
Question
Is the wedding outside?
Answer
Yes! As the sun is shining (keep your fingers crossed) we will be saying “I do” during a fully outdoor ceremony. The cocktail hour and reception are in a covered tent where there will be AC and options for guests to go outside to lounge and sip as they wish. Please make sure to dress appropriately and keep hydrated throughout the day.
Question
Will there be shuttle transportation to the venue?
Answer
Yes, we will have a shuttle bus for guests to safely get to and from The Grandview the day of our wedding. Shuttles will only be going to the two hotels we have room blocks at; The Heartwood at Vasser and Homewood Suites by Hilton Poughkeepsie. Please note shuttles will be first come, first serve.
