FAQs

Question

WHEN SHOULD I RSVP BY?

Answer

Please RSVP by July 1st, 2026. This will help us finalize all the details and ensure everyone has an amazing experience on our special day. We kindly ask that you respond by this date so we can plan accordingly. If you have dietary restrictions please text Emilee.

Question

WHAT IF I DON'T RSVP IN TIME?

Answer

We need to provide our venue with exact numbers by a certain date, so please don't RSVP late! If you realize you've missed the deadline, please reach out to me as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to accommodate, but we can’t guarantee anything after that point. Thanks so much for understanding!

Question

CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?

Answer

Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you received a plus one, it will be addressed on your invitation and RSVP section. Thank you for understanding!

Question

WHAT IF I CAN'T MAKE IT?

Answer

We completely understand that work and life can make destination weddings difficult to attend. Once RSVPs are sent, please RSVP "no" at your earliest convenience so we can plan accordingly.

Question

WHERE ARE THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION TAKING PLACE?

Answer

The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be held on-site at The Olana.

Question

How will guests get to and from the venue, and what are the parking options?

Answer

Our venue is located about 30 minutes outside of downtown Dallas in a smaller town. While it is a bit outside the city, transportation has not been an issue for past events. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have been readily available, including after the reception. Guests are also welcome to coordinate group rides using Fetii if preferred. There is ample parking available at the venue, and you are welcome to leave your car overnight and return the next morning to pick it up.

Question

HAVE YOU RESERVED HOTEL ROOM BLOCKS FOR GUESTS?

Answer

Yes! Please visit the "Book Your Travel" tab in our website for more information.

Question

IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

Answer

Yes, we're so excited to see our friends and family dressed up for the celebrations! Please visit "Dress Code" tab for more guidance and inspiration. On our wedding day, we kindly ask that guests avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams.

Question

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

Answer

We kindly ask that guests arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony begins— that way, everyone has time to park, find their seat, and settle in before we say " I do." The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. and we want to make sure no one misses a moment.

Question

WILL THE CEREMONY BE OUTDOORS?

Answer

Yes (fingers crossed)! We’re aware of the Texas heat and will keep the ceremony short and sweet so everyone can get back inside to the air conditioning as quickly as possible. The cocktail hour and reception will be indoors.

Question

WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?

Answer

Yes! The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you - get ready to party!

Question

CAN I LEAVE MY CAR AT THE VENUE OVERNIGHT?

Answer

Yes, overnight parking is allowed! We understand the importance of ensuring everyone gets home safely. Guests can leave their vehicles overnight and pick them up the following morning.
