FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive 15 - 20 minutes before event to be able to grab a drink and get a comfortable seat before the ceremony will begin. We will not be able to accommodate late arrivals as it will cause distractions for not only the bride and groom but also the other guests.
Question
When should we RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by August 15
Question
Can we take pictures at the ceremony?
Answer
We are having an unplugged ceremony; we are asking that all phones be put away and turned to silent/ off during the ceremony. We have hired a professional to capture this important day and memory and we would hate to have a moment for our photographer blocked by a well-intentioned person taking photos with their cell phone. We promise to share all photos after the day, and once the ceremony is over, please feel free to take as many photos as you want
Question
What if I don't RSVP by the deadline?
Answer
If we do not receive an RSVP back from you by our deadline, you will be marked as "not attending". The reason for this being we must provide an accurate guest count for our vendors in a timely manner. We hope you understand and will miss celebrating with you.
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
We have a room block at Lakes Inn at Dunvilla. It is attached to the property where the ceremony and reception will be held. Please go to the travel page for contact information and how to reach the hotel. There is a Motel in Pelican Rapids or plenty of hotels in Fergus Falls (about a 30-minute drive)
Question
Can we bring our little ones?
Answer
We absolutely love your little ones and will have activities set up for them to enjoy at the reception. We just ask that during the ceremony they are seated and respectful. Please bring your kids to celebrate or get a sitter if you wish to have a date night.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We would love to invite everyone to dress up with us but want everyone comfortable. Please just refrain from wearing white or shades of white. The ceremony will be held in the grass so please plan accordingly if needed. The reception will be inside.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
For all you out of towners, welcome to the Midwest where in September it could be sunny, rainy or even worse... snowy. Please check the forecast before packing and fingers crossed for a perfect warm fall day!
Question
Where should we park?
Answer
Parking will be made visible during the ceremony and reception. If staying overnight at The Inn and want to park over there and then walk over, that's totally fine too.
