FAQs

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We do not have a traditional registry. Instead, we are doing a cash fund for our future honeymoon to Greece and Italy! The cash fund is connected to Zola and can be found on our website.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We have limited space in our venue and therefore have selected our guests carefully. We love each of you very much and understand that you have someone you love that would be a great addition, however, we ask that you please stick to your RSVP if you were the only one listed.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

No! Please wear what you are comfortable in. If you would like to wear our "wedding colors" we are fine with this as well. Those colors include a burnt orange/terracotta, navy/light blues, and sage/eucalyptus.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

If your children were on your original RSVP, please bring them!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Please let us know at least 2 weeks in advance if you have any allergies. We will have vegan options and everything will be gluten free.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

If you are attending the ceremony, we suggest arriving no later than 3:15 as the lobby will be locked to outsiders for the 3:30 PM ceremony.
