FAQs

Question

Why are you getting married in Lancaster?

Answer

We wanted to get married in a barn, and have an outdoor ceremony. The Country Barn was recommended to us and we fell in love with it! It's a 3rd generation operational farm, and all of the food served is "farm to fork", which means it's grown and prepared right on the farm. We thought this was awesome! It has some cool history, and unique spaces that we're super excited to share with you.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We have hotel blocks at two hotels that are next across the street from each other, Hilton Garden Inn and Farfield Inn and Suites by Marriott both on Granite Run Road. Details are in the Travel and Accommodations tab here on our website. Our shuttle buses will be providing transportation from these hotels only. If you're too cool for hotels, there are beautiful Airbnbs in the area!

Question

Are you providing transportation?

Answer

Yep! There will be a shuttle bus running back and forth between the hotels and the venue. It will also go to downtown Lancaster after the wedding. Schedule: 3:35pm Marriott, 3:40pm Hilton Garden Inn -- Arrival at Country Barn around 3:55pm 3:45pm Marriott, 3:50pm Hilton Garden Inn -- Arrival at Country Barn around 4:05pm 10:10pm leave Country Barn, 10:25pm Marriott, 10:30pm Hilton Garden Inn (comes back to Country Barn) 10:20pm leave Country Barn, 10:35pm Marriott, 10:40pm Hilton Garden Inn (done) 10:35/40pm leave Country Barn (after Hayride), 10:50pm Marriott/Hilton Garden Inn, Downtown Lancaster

Question

Can I bring my tiny humans?

Answer

It is up to you! Just let us know on your RSVP card if you're planning on bringing little ones. We won't be able to provide special transportation or babysitting.

Question

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

Answer

Yes, please do so on your RSVP card! The meal will be served buffet and family style, so it is pretty flexible. Let us know if you are gluten-free and/or vegan, or have other allergies.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP by September 10, 2018.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Yes, we are registered here on Zola.com and REI! (All of our REI items are accessible from our Zola registry)

Question

If I buy something from your registry, where should I send it?

Answer

Zola.com is great because they will let us store our registry items. If you ship it to us, we can postpone shipment until we can have it all safely shipped to the West Coast after the wedding!

Question

I don't really get this online gift storage, can you explain?

Answer

For sure, it's definitely a little weird. Zola has a Gift Tracker page, which makes it easy to keep track of everything that has been fulfilled on our wedding registry. Within Gift Tracker, it tells us who bought the gift, and allows us to decide when to request shipment. If your gift is no longer in stock by the time we'll be shipping items, it will convert it to Zola store credit for us to replace it with another item!
