FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We ask that you RSVP no later than February 6th. If we don't receive your RSVP by the date provided, you will be marked as "Not Attending." We will miss you celebrating with us, but we have to give a total headcount to the venue & vendors by a specific date they have given us. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I bring a guest/date?

Answer

We have a strict guest list to stay on budget, so our wedding is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. If your invitation is made out to "[Your Name] & Guest" you were given a plus one.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

If your invitation says “The [Your Name] Family", then your kids are invited. If they are not, we ask that you please don't bring them. We've only accounted for a certain number of guests & will only have enough seats available to accommodate that number of guests.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This means that we are respectfully asking that all phones & other devices are put away & that they be put on silent/turned off during the ceremony. We hired a professional photographer to capture our special day & we'd hate for their shots to have phones in them! After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you'd like! We would also love to see the wedding from your point of view, so please upload as many pictures/videos to our virtual guestbook! QR codes to the virtual guestbook will be located on the bar during cocktail hour.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We kindly ask that your wear semi-formal/dressy casual attire. We also want everyone to be comfortable since the ceremony will be outside, but it's still a wedding so please dress for the occasion. That being said, please refrain from wearing: jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, flip flops, sneakers, or shorts (regardless of how nice your cargo shorts may be). If you need a guide, please go to https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-code-explained#toc-semi-formal-or-dressy-casual & choose ‘05’ at the beginning of the article.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Yes, we are registered at a few different places. To save time from having to look up each registry individually, the links to the registry will be provided.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony is scheduled to start at precisely 5:00 pm. We ask that if you are driving yourself to the wedding, please arrive no later than 4:30 pm to avoid the chance of missing the ceremony. If you arrive after 5:00 pm, please be respectful & wait until after the ceremony to join the party during cocktail hour. Your late arrival will be a huge distraction, not only to other guests but to the photographer & videographer trying to capture the ceremony. For those staying at The Courtyard, a shuttle will take you to & from the venue.

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

There are two parking lots located on site; however, the parking lot closest to the ceremony is for those who need some extra assistance. The second parking is a little further away, but there are golf carts provided by the venue to cart you to the ceremony site as well as from the ceremony to the reception hall.
