FAQ

Question

How are you addressing the COVID situation?

Answer

There are many factors at play that benefit this wedding. One, for example, this venue is huge. Therefore, social distancing and additional precautions can and will be used. The guest list is well below the reduced attendee rate for the venue (50% / 100 guests). Every caution will be used to ensure attendees are reasonably safe such as hand sanitizer stations. I recommend our guests practice social distancing and respiratory etiquette and sanitize hands often. We recommend our guests to sit with household members during the ceremony and reception. Lastly, we highly recommend the use of masks. Please try to bring a mask that matches your attire; fancy gloves if needed.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

To keep our guest list on track, we are only able to accommodate those guests who requested to be invited to the wedding in March. The "RSVP" tab will confirm your party. I may have open invitation spots after the RSVP deadline. Text me for availability after the 16th of November but no later than the 18th of November.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We recommend leaving the sweet angels at home for safety and health reasons. The venue is a huge estate and may be unsuitable for children under 6. If you choose to bring children, please ensure they are well-behaved and in your sight at the event.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

This will be a formal event. Please no white/cream/ivory, gold, or burgundy attire. Please try to bring a mask that matches your attire. I recommend shopping at Etsy. Lastly, Houston weather in December will be cold.

Question

Have you reserved hotel room blocks? Will there be transportation to and from the venue?

Answer

Yes, go to the "Travel" tab for more information. Due to COVID, an Uber/Taxi is the best option to keep you safe as you move around Houston. The venue is five minutes from the SpringHill hotel. We can provide transportation from/to the welcome event (16th Dec at 5:15 pm) and possibly the wedding (4:15 pm). If you know you will need a ride, let me know by the 1st of December.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Houston traffic can be daunting for those not staying at the Springhill Suite Hotel. Therefore, please do not plan on being on time, plan on being early. The door opens at 4:20 pm and closes at 5 pm. No one will be allowed inside the building once the ceremony begins.

Question

Are there tolls in Houston?

Answer

There are many tolls in Houston. The best way to move around is to either get a TX Tag/EZ Tag or have about $10 in cash and coins. To avoid tolls, use Google Maps on your phone and click "Avoid Tolls" in the "Driving Options" setting. Note: avoiding tolls will increase your driving distance & time.

Question

Can guests bring alcohol?

Answer

Under NO circumstances will guests bring their own alcohol per contract! We will have a Host Bar/Cash Bar. The bar will provide beers, wines, and sodas. Water and lemonade will be provided at dinner by the caterer. The consumption of alcohol cannot be consumed until the bartenders and security arrive.

Question

Is there anything scheduled for the week of the wedding?

Answer

Yes! Go to the "Schedule" tab to find out more!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, a free and huge parking lot.

Question

Will food be served? Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food/dietary restriction options?

Answer

Yes, there will be passed appetizers, dinner, and cake. Unfortunately, we don't have any special dietary options. However, there will be some veggies, fruits, and a salad for Cocktail Hour and dinner.

Question

Can I take pictures and/or post photos of your wedding on social media?

Answer

Yes. Please use #T&D when posting on social media. Keep in mind we have Wedding Photographers taking photos and will have PRIORITY. The photography company will create a website for guests to view and download their pictures. Lastly, we recommend taking your mask off for pictures with household members only. Take pictures with others without a mask at your own risk.
