FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by July 1st, 2026.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Our wedding is an RSVP-only event, and, due to limited space, we will only be able to accommodate those specifically named on the invitation.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! There is a small parking lot at the venue, with a roundabout for drop-offs. Outside of that, there is plenty of on-street parking. We also recommend carpooling or taking Ubers/Lyfts, especially if you plan to drink alcohol.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of our ceremony. This allows for plenty of time to converse with others and find your seats without rushing.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your little ones, but we’ve decided to keep our wedding an adults-only celebration. We’ve given this a lot of thought and feel it’s the best fit for the kind of evening we’re planning. That said, kids are more than welcome at our welcome party, and we’re happy to share local childcare options for anyone who might need them. We truly appreciate your understanding!

Question

Um, what's up with the bar hours during the reception?

Answer

The one unfortunate aspect of our lovely venue is the time restriction on the bar. Because it is overseen by NC State, we are only allowed to serve alcohol for a total of 2 hours, per the college rules. If we go over that timeframe or the bartenders are caught serving at the wrong time, we could get into a heap of trouble. With that said, there will be specific times throughout the night that the bar will be closed. Our coordinator should post a little schedule on the bar; please stay aware of this and feel free to grab an extra drink if you need. This is also why we are sticking to beer, wine, and seltzers, to avoid long waits for a drink. We will of course also offer water and other N/A beverages that will be available all night long (stay hydrated, everybody!) and the opportunity to purchase drinks later at the After Party for those who decide to attend. Ryan and I appreciate your understanding!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, we are happy to accommodate most food allergies and dietary restrictions! With so many people in our lives who can’t deal with gluten (the bride included!), there will definitely be options for those folks already. Please be sure you let us know in advance though about any others (call, text, or email us) and we will do what we can to provide options.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We’ve decided on what we’re calling “floral formal” or garden party formal. Think lots of bright colors and floral prints, some spunk and fun to your attire!
