FAQs
Question
When do I need to RSVP by and where do I RSVP?
Answer
RSVP by January 6th, 2026, please. We need to know if you are attending by this date in order to update our vendors. RSVP here on this website by filling out the form on the home page or the RSVP tab. Type in one name, and then you will be prompted to fill out the RSVPs for each of your family members. If you are filling out the RSVP for your family and feel like someone is missing, type their name in the RSVP separately. You can also always text Tessa at 304-644-2560 with any questions.
Question
Will this be a traditional wedding?
Answer
No, we have opted to have a small and intimate weekday wedding. Our family and friends who know us know that we aren't big party people. We felt like a weekday wedding with a smaller guest count felt more authentic to us. We plan on having a short ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour and a catered dinner. We are forgoing a large wedding, traditional wedding party, and a reception with a band/ DJ, and are focusing on our honeymoon instead. We completely understand if you aren't able to miss work, school, or other family commitments to travel for our Friday wedding.
Question
What is the venue like?
Answer
The Capen House, located in Winter Park, FL, is a beautiful property that includes a museum, a historical home, and sculpture gardens on a lake. We both love the water and felt like this venue was perfect for us. Festivities will be indoors/outdoors, and you may have to walk in the grass, so please plan outfits accordingly. See theme and dress code tab for more details.
Question
What is Florida like in March?
Answer
Florida has unpredictable weather year-round. It is usually a very mild and pretty time of year. However, plan to dress in layers as sometimes it is warm in the daytime and gets cooler in the evenings. If you are someone who has springtime allergies, I would recommend bringing allergy medications due to the nature of the ceremony being held outdoors in the garden.
