Can I bring a date?

Question
Can I take pictures?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. We are asking all phones and other devices be put away and on silent/turned off during our ceremony so all guests can be 100% present with us during this special time. After the ceremony, please feel free to take as many photos as you would like, and we promise to share our ceremony photos as soon as possible!
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes, please indicate this when you RSVP.
Question
What happens if it rains?
Answer
Rain won't dampen our wedding day! Our ceremony will take place in Westwynd Gardens' climate-controlled greenhouse, ensuring a beautiful setting no matter the weather. While our cocktail hour is planned for the outdoors, we have a seamless backup plan: if rain arrives, we'll move the celebration to the venue's charming indoor lobby. Our reception will continue as planned in the indoor reception space, guaranteeing a wonderful celebration from start to finish. We cannot wait to celebrate with you all!
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
