FAQs
Question
Three month engagement...why so quick?
Answer
No, Jen is NOT pregnant. We got lucky that Empire Mine had an opening this year and rather than take our chances on securing a date for 2020 we decided to go for it!
Question
Do we need overnight accommodations?
Answer
Empire Mine is an easy one-hour drive from Sacramento, but if you want to make a mini vacation out of our wedding we encourage it! We will be staying in nearby Nevada City Thursday through Sunday and would love to spend time with you outside the chaos of our wedding day!
Question
Can I explore Empire Mine State Park during the wedding?
Answer
During our wedding, state park rangers ask that you stay in the designated ceremony and reception areas. However, as our wedding guests, you have free entry to the park all weekend. We encourage you to visit during their usual hours of 10:00 am to 5:00 pm to explore the expansive gardens, trails, historic buildings, and tours.
Question
Do I get a plus one?
Answer
Enter your name into the RSVP section of our website to see who is included in your invite. However, if you are in a serious relationship and your significant other is not listed, please feel free to contact us so we can consider including them in the celebration.
Question
Can my kids come?
Answer
We've decided to not include young children at the wedding. We hope that our guests will understand and respect our decision. However, children will be welcome at our post-wedding brunch on Saturday.
