FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Guests are requested to join us in cocktail attire. Gentlemen, please wear a dark suit or blazer with dress pants. Ladies, a maxi or midi-length cocktail dress would be ideal.

Question

What time does it start & end?

Answer

Please plan to arrive at 4:30 pm to enjoy pre-ceremony drinks and prelude music. The ceremony will begin at 5 pm. The reception will end at 10 pm, and we hope everyone will join us for an after-party at Merrymakers. Stay as late as you'd like (but Windell will probably kick us out around 1 am).

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

This is an adults-only occasion. While we love all the little ones in our lives, we cannot accommodate children on our wedding day. There will be no exceptions. Thank you for your understanding!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

To help us with our planning, we request that guests RSVP as soon as possible. However, the final date that RSVPs can be received is February 15, 2026. After this date, we’ll unfortunately have to mark anyone who has not yet responded as not attending.

Question

What can I expect at the reception?

Answer

We’ll be hosting a cocktail-style reception with a dinner of heavy hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and dessert. Ladies are encouraged to choose shoes with mingling and dancing in mind.

Question

How do I get to JC Newman?

Answer

We recommend using Uber/Lyft rideshare services if you plan on enjoying a few cocktails. There are plenty of parking spaces if you plan to drive; however, please note that you cannot leave your car on their property overnight. There's a smaller parking lot directly next to the building, as well as a larger lot across the street from the venue.
