FAQs

Question

Where is the venue?

Answer

The venue recently built a new road off the main venue road leading to the barn. This means the property has two road names. As a result, the official address for the barn, Wellspring Ln, will be listed on your invitation and the street sign when you turn onto the venue road. You can still use the venue name, Big Spring Farm, in your GPS to reach the venue entrance though the road name may say Fredericksburg Rd. Unfortunately we’re not sure when the new address will appear on Google or Apple Maps. There is a large black sign that says “Big Spring Farm” at the entrance and follow the signs to get to the barn.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors, so please dress accordingly and keep the weather in mind. Afterward, we'll head inside for dinner. Dancing will take place indoors, and for those who prefer a more laid-back vibe, we'll also have a bonfire going outside to enjoy under the stars.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes, we'll have an open bar at the wedding. Our bartenders will be checking IDs, so please remember to bring valid identification to enjoy the festivities.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Please wear cocktail attire for the ceremony and reception. We suggest men wear a suit or dress shirt with a tie, and women wear a midi- or knee-length dress or dressy separates.

Question

Is there a vegetarian or vegan menu option?

Answer

If you indicated vegetarian or vegan on your RSVP, provide your name to the caterer at the buffet, and they will provide you with the vegetarian/vegan meal. The cupcakes are also vegan and gluten-free.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

To ensure a serene and enjoyable atmosphere for all our guests, we kindly request that only children who have received a specific invitation attend the wedding.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Due to Washington and Lee Homecoming weekend, we have not been able to secure a block of hotel rooms. However, there are still some individual hotel rooms available in Lexington. We recommend booking a place to stay as soon as possible. Please visit the travel page for some recommendations.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Since we have been unable to secure a hotel block, there will also not be a shuttle.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask our guests to put away all electronic devices during our wedding ceremony. This means putting away your cameras, phones, and any other electronic devices to fully immerse yourself in the moment. Professional photographers will be capturing all the special moments, ensuring that you can relax and enjoy the ceremony without any distractions.
