Question

Are children allowed at the wedding?

Answer

This will be an adults-only celebration.

Question

What is a cocktail-style reception?

Answer

We are opting out of the traditional formal dinner and will have more of a "cocktail style" reception. A cocktail-style reception means less time stuck at a table and more time celebrating! Instead of a formal plated dinner, we’ll have plenty of delicious passed hors d'oeuvres, a buffet-style spread, and, of course, an open bar. Everyone will have a seat, but think of it as a place to park it while you party. Eat, drink, mingle, and dance the night away with us!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

You betcha.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Your invitation will specify if you have a plus-one. If you have any questions - please reach out.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

DC in June can vary - but you can expect mid-80's and humidity. Fingers crossed for a beautiful day!

Question

Are you changing your last names?

Answer

Yes! We both will be changing our last names to Duggan to honor his mother and grandmother.

Question

If I want to write a check as a gift, who should I make it out to?

Answer

Please use our current legal names: Caitlin Hayes or Matthew Miller.
