FAQs

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are registered at Amazon, Crate & Barrel, and Bed Bath & Beyond.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will start promptly at 2 P.M. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the ceremony to ensure you're able to greet friends and family.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says "and guest" you may bring a date. If your invitation was addressed to you and another person specifically, you are both invited (obviously?). If your invitation was addressed to just you, you are not permitted to bring a date.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is plenty of parking for the ceremony and for the reception. The parking lot for the Ariel Pearl Center is on Broadview, on the east side of the venue. We do, however, recommend that you Uber or Lyft if you are planning on drinking and you are able. Safety first!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we love all of your babies and children, we ask that they stay home with a babysitter so you can relax and enjoy your evening without having to keep one eye on a kiddo. Babies under one year of age, however, are welcome.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

You will be responsible for your own transport to and from the ceremony.

Question

How far from the hotels are the ceremony and reception venue?

Answer

The Church of the Gesu is about 20 minutes east of downtown, and the Ariel Pearl Center is about eight minutes south of the city. If you are staying downtown and have a car, we recommend driving to the ceremony, dropping the car off at the hotel afterwards and then Uber or Lyft-ing to the reception.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We have booked a block of rooms at the Drury Hotel and the Crowne Plaza. You can find that information under "Travel." However, please feel free to stay at any hotel that is within your budget. There is a Hilton, a Marriott, a Double Tree, a Hyatt, a Hampton Inn and many more hotels all in downtown Cleveland, and plenty of hotels south of downtown in Independence, which is only a 10 minute drive from the reception venue.
