Question

When, where, & what time is the Ceremony & Reception at?

Answer

Ceremony and reception are both at Lavender Ridge Wedding Venue in Reno Nevada on May 9, 2026. Ceremony starts at 3:30pm. Address is 7450 W 4th St, Reno, NV 89523

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 20–30 minutes early to allow time to park, find a seat, and get settled before the ceremony begins at 3:30pm.

Question

What is the attire?

Answer

Cocktail/semi-formal. Think springtime chic: something nice, but also comfy and don't forget a jacket in case it gets cool! The grounds of the venue are stone pavers, so while it's not grass, those skinny heels might still struggle. 😅

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will be outdoors. If for some reason the weather has a different agenda, then everything will be moved indoors.

Question

What date should I RSVP by?

Answer

The sooner the better for venue and catering purposes, but please RSVP no later than March 15, 2026.

Question

Can I bring my kids or a guest?

Answer

We wish we could have everyone, but due to space we ask that only those listed on your invite are the ones to come.

Question

Is it okay to take pictures?

Answer

We ask that the ceremony is unplugged, meaning no photos or videos! But any other time, yes the more pictures the better!

Question

Will food be served during cocktail hour?

Answer

Cocktail hour will include drinks and mingling while we take photos. Dinner will be served shortly after, so come ready to sip and socialize!

Question

What kind of dinner will be served/Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Answer

Dinner will be buffet style featuring BBQ chicken and tri-tip, along with plenty of delicious sides to fill your plate. If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, please note them when you RSVP so we can plan accordingly!

Question

Can I bring my own drinks?

Answer

You’re welcome to bring something to share! All outside beverages must be served by the bartender at the bar. No self-serve coolers or bottles, please.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

Yes, but parking is limited. Carpooling or ridesharing is encouraged!

Question

Can I leave my car overnight?

Answer

Unfortunately, no vehicles can be left overnight at the venue. Please plan a safe ride home.

Question

Will there be transportation provided between a specific hotel and the venue?

Answer

Unfortunately, no. We weren’t able to find a hotel that offers shuttle service to the venue, so please plan accordingly when coordinating your ride to and from the venue.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

The closest airport is Reno–Tahoe International Airport (RNO), located about 15 minutes from the venue. The airport offers convenient car rental options, and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are also readily available. Choose whichever is most convenient for you!

Question

Where to stay?

Answer

Boomtown is just 7 minutes from the venue, and Downtown Reno is only 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Both areas offer plenty of hotel options. For specific recommendations, check out the "Travel" tab on our website!
