FAQs
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
No dress code. We are here to celebrate and have fun. Casual chic works well for the Venue. Yes, Yoder... you can wear a kilt if it makes you happy. Wedding colors: think beach- sage/sea foam green, slate blue, steel gray, tan..... Both Wedding and reception are indoors.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive 20-30 minutes early to find parking and a good seat (No assigned seating). Ceremony starts promptly at 4:30 pm. Those who arrive late will probably be called out by the officiant and will be required to perform Mary had a little Lamb by way of interpretive dance before sitting down.
Question
Can I bring my friend, cousin, coworker, or that guy I met last week?
Answer
As much as we would love to throw the biggest party in Texas, our venue has a guest limit. If a plus one (or 2…or 4) has been reserved for you, it will be indicated on the RSVP section of this website (or invitation). We appreciate your understanding and the fire Marshall thanks you. * If your circumstances change or if you have questions about your invitation, please contact the Bride or Groom before the wedding.
Question
Can we bring the kids?
Answer
While we adore your children, our wedding will primarily be an adults-only celebration, with the exception of the children participating in our wedding party and those specifically named in the RSVP section. Between the loud music, late night dancing, alcohol and a waterfront venue, we figured this might not be the ideal setting for tiny humans to test their survival skills. We feel this will be the safest and most enjoyable experience for everyone. If you're unsure whether your child is included, please reach out to the bride or groom.
Question
Will there be an Open bar?
Answer
We will have nonalcoholic drinks and a few signature drinks. Feel free to bring a small cooler with your favorite adult beverages. Please be considerate of venue policy of no glass bottles. Ps..... We encourage you to drink responsibly and remember that embarrassing dance moves live forever, thanks to modern technology and social media. Rockport has a few Taxi companies (limited Uber), and friends and family who will be happy to help you reach your destination safely.
Question
Are there any venue rules or special considerations?
Answer
A few! The venue has a strict "no" list that includes glass bottles, glitter, balloons, rice, confetti, sparklers, and open flames. If it explodes, floats away, catches fire, or takes six months to clean up, it's probably not allowed. While we're at it, we'd also like to make one other request: come ready to celebrate, be kind, and have fun! We have waited a long time for this day and want it filled with love, laughter, and great memories. Drama, disrespectful behavior, or getting so intoxicated that you're no longer the life of the party but the reason for the party ending early will not be tolerated. In short: bring your dancing shoes, your best vibes, and your good judgment. Leave the glitter bombs and the drama at home.
Question
Did someone say photo etiquette?
Answer
We are not having an unplugged wedding, and we have no intention of policing Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, carrier pigeons, or any other method of sharing photos. In fact, we're asking for your help! We chose not to hire a professional photographer, so we're putting our trust in the people who know us best (and hopefully have steady hands). QR codes will be available throughout the venue so you can upload your favorite photos and videos to our shared drive. We'd love candid moments, ceremony photos, dance floor chaos, and all the memories in between. Just please avoid blocking anyone's view or accidentally becoming the wedding photographer by standing in the middle of the aisle. Fair warning: if you catch us doing something embarrassing, we can't guarantee it won't end up framed in our house.
