Question

COVID UPDATE

Answer

In light of recent surges in the State of Ohio, we have decided to host a private ceremony. We will host a larger reception starting at 5 pm at the Community Foundation Pavilion at Foundation Park for all of our guests to attend. We will be in communication with those of you that this decision has made a change to your plans. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Ceremony parking may be limited depending on weather. There are approximately 20 spaces available in the back of the chapel in a gravel lot. Parking is not permitted on Quarry Chapel Road or Monroe Mills Road. Weather will determine if extra spaces will be available in a field across the street from the chapel. We encourage you to carpool with members of your family! Parking for the reception is available in the parking lot near Rastin Tower and the Urton Clock House off of Pittsburgh Avenue. The reception is a short walk from the parking lot through Ariel Foundation Park. Those with mobility issues can arrange for a parking spot closer to the building or a drop off location. A park map can be found at: https://www.arielfoundationpark.org/index.php/explore-the-park/park-map If you need to arrange for parking closer to the venue, please contact us ahead of time so that we can give you directions.

We are working with our venues and vendors to abide by all recommendations set forth by the State of Ohio to ensure the safety of our guests, HOWEVER your health and well being are the absolute most important thing to us. While we would love for all of the people we love to come to celebrate with us, we are fully aware that there are many risks that our guests will have to consider. We want to assure you, as the people we love the most, that we do not have any expectations around attendance and completely understand if you choose to not attend. All of that said, we will have our ceremony and reception available on a livestream through our wedding website. Click on “Schedule” and then select “Go to Virtual Event”.

Due to the ever changing regulations around COVID 19, we definitely understand that plans may change weekly, if not daily. Please try to RSVP prior to October 1st, 2020.

If you will be attending virtually, please only RSVP “yes” to the virtual event. This will help us know how best to seat people to be able to socially distance.

Are you registered? Where?
