FAQs

All the things you want to know but don't want to ask. If you do have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to Caitlin or Derek.
Question

CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invted on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding.

Question

ARE KIDS INVITED?

Answer

We love the little ones in our family and extended family! However, we decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event with the exception of immediate family in the wedding. We encourage you to use this evening as a date night!

Question

CAN I TAKE PICTURES DURING THE CEREMONY?

Answer

Have no fear, we have paid a professional photographer good money to make sure that nothing is missed. We are having an unplugged ceremony. Once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures (without cell phones sticking out in them) which we will share with you. Once the recessional is over, feel free to take as many pictures as you'd like and don't forget to share them with us!

Question

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

Answer

The ceremony begins promptly at 4:30pm. The earliest you can "rope drop" is 4:00pm. Please plan to arrive 15 to 30 minutes early to allow for parking and making your way to your seats.

Question

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day but still be comfortable. Dress code is semi formal attire. Women - we suggest a cocktail-length dress, maxi dress, or dressy separates. Men - we suggest a suit and tie, collared shirt or long sleeve dress shirt with a tie. No jeans or shorts. No white, cream, or ivory.

Question

WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?

Answer

Yes! The drinks are on us but the hangover is on you - get ready to party! For this reason, we encourage you to uber/lyft to and from the venue or have a designated driver. Please drink responsibly and make sure that you have a way to get home safely.

Question

WILL THE WEDDING BE INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?

Answer

The ceremony and cocktail hour are outside and then we will head inside for the reception. Ceremony seating is in the grass, however, the venue has a layer under the grass so that your heels will not fall through.

Question

WHEN DO I NEED TO RSVP BY?

Answer

Please RSVP by 12/15. If you do not formally RSVP by this date, we will assume you are unable to attend and a seat will not be reserved for you.

Question

WHERE DO I PARK?

Answer

There is free parking on site. Venue personnel will direct you where to park. If you plan on taking advantage of the open bar, we recommend using uber/lyft or carpooling with a designated driver.

Question

ARE YOU REGISTERED? WHERE?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is more important to us than presents! However, we recognize that some may want to get us something to mark the occasion. A contribution towards our honeymoon would make our day. On our Zola wedding website you will find ways to contribute via Venmo or gift cards should you wish.
