If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to reach out to our planner Kris for more information: (470) 315-0729
Question

Where do I park?

Answer

We ask that guests please arrive at the reception site at The Glenn Hotel. Valet park with the parking attendant and mention you are with the wedding. From there, gather in the lobby. A large bus will transport you to and from the wedding venue. THE BUS SCHEDULE IS 4, 4:30 & 5 PM. *Last bus leaves at 5pm!

Question

What time should I arrive at the venue?

Answer

We ask that guests please arrive at the reception site at The Glenn Hotel between 3:30-4:30 pm. Valet park with the parking attendant and mention you are with the wedding. From there, gather in the lobby. Vans will transport you to and from the wedding venue. *Last bus leaves at 5pm!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be at the same location?

Answer

No. The ceremony will be held at Dockside in Piedmont Park. DO NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT THERE! Please instead arrive at the reception site at The Glenn Hotel between 3:30–4:30, and park via the valet. Then gather in the lobby. Transportation will be provided to and from the ceremony site. Last bus leaves at 5 pm!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony is outdoors, but will have an air conditioned boathouse nearby for beverages, guest book, gift table, etc. The reception is on the rooftop of The Glenn Hotel. It is covered but also outdoors. Being that high means a LOVELY breeze will be flowing. Either way, PLEASE DRESS FOR THE HEAT! This is summer in the south, it's going to be hawt.

Question

What should I wear/Dress code?

Answer

PLEASE dress for the heat. It will be hot. The ceremony is in the grass, so stilettos aren’t recommended. Although not classically formal, the reception venue is very chic, so think "cool cocktail."

Question

Do you have a hotel block?

Answer

Yes! We have several, spanning a variety of price points. Please refer to the "LODGING" section of the website for the discount links. You can also call any of the hotels directly and simply mention our wedding name to get the same discount. LAST DAY TO BOOK WITH THE GLENN HOTEL DISCOUNT IS JUNE 10!

Question

Will refreshments/dinner be served?

Answer

Yes. Cold water and tea will be provided during the ceremony. There will also be a full, 4-hour open bar at the reception—drink up me hearties! Dinner is of course provided—but in a less traditional sense. There won't be any formal dining courses or seat assignments. It will be a "tapas, finger food, apps" style with small plates passed around on trays and available via a food table. Think spring rolls, sliders, tacos, etc.

Question

When should I RSVP?

Answer

You should RSVP as soon as you receive your invitation. Send back the perforated panel on the invite, writing the names of everyone who will be attending. The stamp is already provided. If you have any questions about your RSVP, please reach out to our wedding planner Kris Lavender - kris@krislavender or (470) 315-0729.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We are registered with Zola.com. Please view the "REGISTRY" tab of the website.

Question

Can I bring a plus one without notification?

Answer

Absolutely! If there is no mention of a +1 on your invite, but you would like to bring one, please go ahead and do. We just ask only +1 per guest and no infants or children under the age of 14, unless your invite specifically says otherwise.

Question

Can I bring by baby/child?

Answer

Unfortunately this is a baby/kid-free wedding. Unless specifically designated on your invite, we ask that no child under the age of 14 attend.

Question

What if I get too hot?

Answer

Don't worry. At the ceremony site, there is a boathouse nearby with AC and water/tea. And the reception has plenty of breeze, but if you ever get too hot, simply go down to your room in the hotel. OR if you don't have a room with the Glen Hotel, ask one of the planning staff and you can take a moment to cool down in one of the wedding party suites.

Question

Wait, no seat assignments? Will I be able to sit down?

Answer

Yes of course! There will be plenty of seating, just less traditional wedding-wise. Think classic bar atmosphere: outdoor couches, 4-up tables, "high boy" bar tops, etc. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy—just without the awkwardness of being stuck next to someone you don't know all evening. Mix. Mingle. Be marry! :P

Question

Very important. Will there be cake?

Answer

But of course! Strawberry with cheesecake mousse, lemon with Jack Daniels blackberry, and almond with raspberry Chantilly.

Question

Will there be a DJ/dancing?

Answer

Yes! A small, 2-person live band will be performing from The Emerald Empire Band. We want to see everyone's best moves out there :P

Question

Will there be vegetarian/vegan options?

Answer

Absolutely. If there are any other restrictions or severe allergies we should know about, please let our planner know at +1 (470) 315-0729.
