FAQs
Question
I didn't get a plus one with my invitation -- can I bring someone?
Answer
Unfortunately -- due to our budget and the venue size -- we had to be very intentional with our guest list. If you received an invitation and it's addressed only to you, this means you are very important to us and we couldn't imagine our day without you, but we do not have the freedom to offer you room for a guest. We ask that you respect our decision. Thank you for understanding and we cannot wait to celebrate with you!
Question
My kiddo(s) isn't addressed on the invitation -- can I bring them?
Answer
We have decided to keep this a child-free wedding except for those of our close family. We want you to let loose and dance the night away worry-free! We thank you in advance for your understanding.

Question
What's the food sitch?!
Answer
Congaree and Penn is a farm-to-table restaurant that makes exceptional food.

We will accommodate you the best we can.
Question
How 'bout them drinks?!
Answer
Drinks are on us! We will have an open bar with select options on the day.
Question
Are there room blocks or preferred hotels for lodging?
Answer
There are no room blocks or preferred hotels given the venue is located 20 minutes from both the Jacksonville airport and Riverside. There are a ton of options for hotels and Airbnb rentals at great prices as February is the off-season for our area. Text our wedding planner, Jess, at (904) 735-1046 if you need any help or have any questions!
Question
No normal registry? What are we supposed to get you?!
Answer
We have been fortunate enough to have purchased all of the wonderful things that make a house a home in our years together. Our one wish is to go on a spectacular honeymoon and so we will create a honeymoon fund that will be easily accessible on the website. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
