Question
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The wedding ceremony and reception will both be held outdoors in the same location, weather permitting. The grass can be soft, so we recommend block heels or flats.

We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour and food stations with several types of cuisine to choose from for dinner. We will have a full bar and signature cocktails throughout the evening.
Question
I am coming from out of town. Where should I stay?
Answer
We have reserved a discounted block of rooms at The JW Marriott Dallas Arts District, just one block away from our wedding venue. Find more details in the Travel section above. Please note our wedding weekend is also OU-Texas football weekend, so we recommend you make your travel plans and book your hotel as soon as you know you're coming.
Question
Will there be other events I should be aware of on the wedding weekend?
Answer
Yes, please see the "schedule" page of our wedding for details on the adjacent wedding events. Please note the Texas vs. OU football game is scheduled for October 7. This annual tradition attracts college football fans from across the country, further crowding a city already packed with Texans visiting the State Fair. We recommend you make your travel plans and book your hotel as soon as you know you're coming.
Question
Are you registered anywhere?
Answer
Gifts are not expected, as your love and support is the most meaningful gift to us. For those who wish to give us something more, please visit our registry page. Thank you very much!
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
We would love for our parent-friends to kick back and dance the night away with us, but we also understand arranging child care is not easy. We just want you there! You are welcome to bring your little ones to the ceremony and reception, but please be aware the venue does not permit touching of the art.
Question
Is it okay to take pictures?
Answer
We want you to be fully present with us, so we ask that you please put away your phones and cameras during our ceremony. You are more than welcome to take pictures during the rest of the evening. We promise to share the photographer's pictures with you all!
