FAQs
Question
Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?
Answer
We ask that you please be mindful of taking any photos during the ceremony -- we're paying a photographer for a reason and don't need to make her job any harder! After that, please feel free to take and post photos as much as you'd like! Just tag us in your posts so we don't miss them :]
Question
What is the dress code? What should I wear?
Answer

Question
What weather should I expect?
Answer
It'll be January in New England, so it will be cold. We'll be indoors as much as physically possible!
Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
Shuttles will run from the Hampton Inn in Salem to take guests to The Mansion on Turner Hill for the ceremony and the reception, and to take guests back to Salem after the reception. The after party is taking place in downtown Salem, and is walking distance from both Hampton Inn and Hotel Salem.
Question
Do I have to mail back my RSVP or can I RSVP online?
Answer
Either is totally fine!
Question
Can I bring kids to the wedding? Can I bring a +1?
Answer
We hope you understand that we are at capacity with our venue, and we will only be able to accommodate the number of people listed on your invitation.
Question
What happens between the ceremony and reception?
Answer
We'll be having a cocktail hour with light hors d'oeurves.
Question
What if I have dietary restrictions?
Answer
Please be sure to list any dietary restrictions when you RSVP so we can work with our caterer to accommodate.
Question
What is a welcome reception? Do I need to attend?
Answer
Since most of our guest list is traveling in from out of town for our wedding, we've opted to host a welcome reception the night before our wedding so that we can spend more time with our loved ones that we don't get to see often. This event is totally optional, please don't feel like you need to plan your travel around attending, but if you are here, we'd love to spend some extra time with you!
