Q & A

Question

WHEN SHOULD I RSVP BY?

Answer

You must RSVP by July 1, 2024. There will be no other RSVPs accepted after this date. Details on how to do so will be located on your formal invitation. Per our venue, if you do not RSVP, you will not have a seat at the reception. So please be sure to RSVP in time! NO EXCEPTIONS.

Question

WHAT COLORS SHOULD // CAN I WEAR?

Answer

The Bride & Groom are formally requesting that each and every guest come dressed based on their wedding color scheme. BLACK! Please be advised that this ask is expected of all guests. White dress shirts are permitted under suit/tux jackets. No other colors of any kind, outside of the wedding party and personnel, will be permitted. The Bride & Groom look forward to seeing everyone in their beautiful all black attire!

Question

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Answer

The fancier the better!!! Think: The Oscars, The Emmys, even 007 (James Bond). This is a FORMAL event as well as guests are asked to wear BLACK. No baseball caps, jeans or tee shirts of any kind. We would hate for you to miss out on celebrating in unity, so please follow this dress code as our reception venue will be enforcing the same standard for formal attire.

Question

ARE PHONES ALLOWED?

Answer

Yes, but we encourage you to stay unplugged. Our officiant will ask all to silence their devices. Shall an emergency arise during the ceremony, please feel free to step into the hall.

Question

ARE WE ALLOWED TO TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEOS DURING THE CEREMONY?

Answer

Yes, go for it! However, please be mindful of our lovely photographer as they have been hired for all of our photography needs. Per our request, they will do what they must to get the shot they need in order to capture our special day. Please also try to be mindful of others around you when taking photos and videos.

Question

CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?

Answer

Please refer to your formal invitation. If you are allowed to bring a guest, that allowance will be shown in your invitation suite or their name, if you RSVP online. You will not be allowed more guests than your invitation indicates. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Question

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CAN'T MAKE IT?

Answer

No-shows will cost us financially. If you know well in advance that you and/or your guest can no longer attend, please let us know IMMEDIATELY so we can update our vendors and venue. We have hand selected our attendees and love each and every one of you very much. So if you cannot make it, please know you will be greatly missed.

In lieu of a registry, the Bride & Groom have set up a Newlywed Fund and are requesting monetary gifts in the form of cash or check. Zelle and Cashapp info will also be available at the reception if absolutely necessary!
