FAQs
Question
Can I use my phone to take pictures/videos during the ceremony?
Answer
Nope, Absolutely not. Apologies for sounding brutal (LOL) but this is a non-negotiable for Danielle and Elijah. We have an amazing photographer and second shooter who will be capturing the entire evening from beginning to end. We would appreciate everyone being fully present with us during the ceremony, and would prefer if our photographers pictures did not have other people's phones visible in them. After the ceremony, please feel free to take as many photos/videos with your phones that you would like!
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 7:00 pm. Please try to arrive to the venue by 6:30 to allow time to mingle and find your seats!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code is black tie formal. Ladies, think floor length gowns. Gentlemen, suits or tuxedos are preferred. Please avoid any colors such as white, ivory, cream, or any color that could be worn by the bride.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We will specify on invitations if you are given a +1. We have a strict # of guests with the venue, so if a +1 is not indicated on your invitation, please do not bring a date. Basically, if your invitation says "___ & Guest" you have been given a +1.
Question
What's the bar situation?
Answer
We will be offering open bar for 1 hour only during cocktail hour. Following cocktail hour, drinks will switch to a CASH bar. Bar takes cash only and no card. There is an ATM available at the venue. Last call will be at 12:30 am.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
As much as we love all of the munchkins in our lives, the reception will be adult only. Please arrange for child care ahead of time.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Our venue has plenty of on-site parking for the ceremony and reception!
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
We plan to have shuttles that will transport guests from the hotel in Bridgewater (please see accommodation tab) to the venue, and then back to the hotel. We would love to limit the amount of people driving on NYE, so if you are able to stay at the hotel, we have rooms in our block! The shuttle from the hotel will also be available to guests even if you are not planning to stay at the hotel. Please be aware that the shuttles will only be making one trip. They will be departing the hotel for the ceremony at 6:00pm. They will be departing the venue to bring everyone back to the hotel at 1:00am. Please be aware if you take the shuttle, and would like to depart the wedding early, you will be responsible for your own transportation.
Question
Inside/outside? Cold? Coats?
Answer
Everything that will be occurring throughout the night will be indoors. There will be a coat check with an attendant available to guests as you arrive and depart. There are areas where you can get some air outside throughout the night if needed.
Question
Where's your registry?
Answer
Elijah and Danielle have owned their own home for just about 2 years now, and feel they have everything that they need and more. The couple will not be registering. Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all! If you’d like to contribute to our future together, we kindly ask for a monetary gift in lieu of a traditional registry.
