FAQs

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! There is free overnight parking onsite. There is a lot located directly behind the Garden Pavilion (reception space), as well as in front of the indoor ballroom venue at the Ritz Charles (closer to the front of the chapel).

Question

Is there a hotel room block?

Answer

Please note, we have chosen not to arrange a hotel room block for our wedding. However, there are several wonderful accommodations in the area, and we encourage you to explore options that suit your preferences. Please reference the "Hotels" page if you need any recommendations, or feel free to reach out!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your children, but this is an adults only event. We encourage you to use this evening as a date night or weekend getaway!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Formal Attire Requested: We ask that men wear a dark suit (dark blue, dark grey, black etc) and women wear a floor-length or midi cocktail dress. All events will be held indoors, but you may want a jacket for the walk between the chapel and the garden pavilion. For inspiration you can reference this Pinterest board: https://pin.it/2RDkwo5Va

Question

Should I stay in Carmel or Indianapolis?

Answer

Feel free to stay at the accommodation that makes the most sense for your weekend experience. We recommend staying in the Carmel area if you prefer to be close to the weekend festivities. While Carmel has tons of shops and restaurants, we know some of you may prefer to be in closer proximity to nightlife, bars, and generally a younger crowd (if thats the vibe you want for the weekend!). In that case, we recommend staying in Indianapolis near Mass Ave. Just keep in mind you will be approx. 30 minutes away from the venue. Finding an uber/lyft should not be a problem!
