FAQs

Question

Are kids allowed at the wedding?

Answer

Kids are welcome to join us for the Welcome Party and the Sunday Send-Off. For the ceremony and reception, however, we’ve chosen to keep those adults-only so everyone can relax and celebrate to the fullest. We hope this gives you a fun night out, and we’re so grateful for your understanding!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We’ve carefully curated our guest list to celebrate with our closest family and friends. If your invitation includes a plus one, we’d love for them to join! Otherwise, we hope you’ll still come solo and share in this special day with us.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is black tie optional, so this is the perfect excuse to get all dressed up! Tuxedos and evening gowns are wonderful if you’d like to go all out, but a classic suit and tie or a cocktail dress are equally lovely. Dress to feel your best—we can’t wait to see you looking fabulous!

Question

Are there hotel options nearby?

Answer

Yes! We’ve secured room blocks at several nearby hotels to make your stay as convenient and enjoyable as possible. Head over to the “Accommodations” section for details, rates, and booking links.

Question

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

Answer

We’ve carefully chosen accommodations close to the venue to make transportation as convenient as possible. While we are not providing transportation, the recommended hotels are either walkable or a very short Uber or Lyft ride away.

Question

Where will the ceremony and reception take place?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the Board of Trade!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving to the ceremony 15-30 minutes before the ceremony begins to allow plenty of time to find your seat and get settled.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We’re planning to have an unplugged ceremony so everyone can be fully present in the moment. We’ve hired an amazing photographer to capture all the special memories, and we can’t wait to share those photos with you afterward! Feel free to take as many pictures as you want during the reception!
