Great question! It is looking like the world is going to be a little more "normal" by October. However, the safety of our guests is still our top priority. Because of this, we are asking that guests get the vaccine or have a negative Covid test within 72 hours of the wedding. Please help us take care of all of our guests and celebrate safely!
We have included lots of indicators about if you are invited to the ceremony and reception or just reception. On your save the date, it will say "ceremony & reception invitation to follow" or "reception invitation to follow". Additionally, there will be some indicators on your invitation. On the actual website RSVP page, guests will only be able to RSVP for the events they are invited to. But if you are unclear, please don't hesitate to reach out! We know this is a little nontraditional and we want to clear up any confusion!
Please RSVP as soon as you get your invitation so we can share our guest count with our vendors and coordinators. But please share your RSVP no later than September 4, 2021. That will allow us enough time to arrange all the extra details for our guests. You can RSVP on this website under the "RSVP" tab!
We are not super fancy people but we would prefer cocktail attire. Dress pants, dresses, skirts, jumpsuits, whatever you’re comfortable in! But no jeans please. Because our wedding falls on the same day as the University of Missouri (Chelsea's alma mater) homecoming, feel free to wear your favorite black and gold cocktail attire!
We are asking for there to be no kids at the wedding. If you are traveling with your kids or are local and need help finding a babysitter, let us know! We know plenty of college students. And even some that we would deem responsible enough to watch your kid.
If you have been given a plus one, your save the date and invitation will say your name “and guest”.
We kindly ask that all guests invited to the ceremony refrain from using any devices during the ceremony. We want all of our guests to enjoy the moment with us and let the photographer capture it. After we are officially Mr. and Mrs. Rooney, you can take and post all the photos you want. Remember to use the hashtag #LooneyForRooney so we can see all the embarrassing (or cute) photos you take!
Yes! Our venue has tons of parking available. Check out their website for a map of where their 3 parking lots are located. Dayton also has plenty of Lyft and Uber options!
