    FAQs

FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire! Dresses, jumpsuits, suits, etc. Since it will be the end of September, it could get chilly throughout the day and into the evening. The ceremony site will be on grass, so ladies please be cognizant of your shoe choice.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We ask that guests arrive between 4:00pm - 4:15pm to get settled in your seat before the ceremony commence at 4:30pm. Please plan ahead and be mindful of traffic.

Question

Will there be transportation?

Answer

For those staying at our suggested hotel, there is free shuttle transportation to and from the wedding venue. The Shuttle will depart promptly at 3:30pm to go to the ceremony and will depart the Hellenic Center at 10:00pm. Please keep in mind that ride-sharing availability is very limited, so if you are staying elsewhere or will not be taking the shuttle, make sure you have a safe travel plan for the evening.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

Yes, there is plenty of free parking at the Hellenic Center.

Question

Where do I go upon arrival for the Ceremony?

Answer

You will arrive in front of the Hellenic Center. Please make your way around the Hellenic Center, via the path to the left. This will bring you behind the Mansion to the lower lawn, where the ceremony is held. White garden chairs will be set up for seating and we invite you to sit anywhere but the first rows, which are reserved. In case of rain, the ceremony and cocktail hour will be moved under the sailcloth tent to the left of the Hellenic Center. This will be set up accordingly, if we must proceed with plan B.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be on the lower lawn in back of the Hellenic Center and the cocktail hour will be held in the upper lawn/garden. The reception will be indoors in the ballroom. In case of unfortunate weather, the ceremony and cocktail hour will move under a sailcloth tent on the property.

Question

Are you having an unplugged ceremony?

Answer

Yes! Please make sure all electronic devices are away and are on silent or do not disturb for the duration of the ceremony. Our photographers & videographers will be capturing this beautiful moment and we ask that you be fully present with us.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

There will be an open bar starting at cocktail hour and running through 9:30pm. We ask that if you are drinking, you plan ahead to take the shuttle or have a responsible, safe travel plan for the evening. Ride sharing services, such as Uber or Lyft are extremely limited in the area. We want everyone to have fun, but more importantly stay safe.

Question

Will there be assigned seats?

Answer

Ceremony seating will not be assigned. For the reception, guests will have assigned tables for dinner, but are free to move around once the dance floor opens up.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Although we love your kids, this is an adults-only wedding with the exception of our flower girl and ring bearer.

Question

What is the rain plan?

Answer

In case of unfortunate weather, the ceremony and cocktail hour will move under a sailcloth tent on the property. The reception would proceed as planned in the Hellenic Center.

Question

Will I receive a plus one?

Answer

Since we are blessed with many family and friends, not every guest will receive a plus one. Our formal invitations will specify all guests that are invited. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.

Question

Is there breakfast at the hotel?

Answer

There will be complimentary hot breakfast each morning from 6:30AM - 10:00AM at the restaurant for those staying in the room block.
