FAQs

Question

Why is the wedding on a Monday?

Answer

We know that a Monday wedding is not traditional, but we’re not traditional people! We couldn’t imagine getting married at any other venue, and due to their availability we thought a Monday would be most considerate of our guests as opposed to the alternatives. We understand a weekday is not convenient for everyone, but we truly hope to see you there!

Question

What time should I get there?

Answer

Please arrive by 4pm to enjoy a glass of welcome champagne and find a seat. You can arrive as early as 3:30pm, but please try not to arrive later than 4:15pm, as the ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm.

Question

What if I am late?

Answer

As much as we want everyone to be present for our ceremony, guests will not be allowed entry after 4:30pm until the ceremony is over. Due to many logistical factors, it is extremely important that our ceremony begins on time, and it will begin promptly at 4:30pm. We encourage you to arrive early to enjoy a glass of welcome champagne, and to plan plenty of time for travel and traffic.

What should women wear?

Question

What should men wear?

Answer

We’d love to see you dressed up! As much as we'd like to see you in a tuxedo, you may also wear a nice suit. We do ask that the men wear jackets to accompany a tie and button up, and please refrain from wearing any jeans, boots, sneakers, graphic t-shirts, and flip-flops.
