Question
What does semi formal attire mean?
Answer
Semi-formal attire is a dress code that falls between casual and formal wear, offering a polished yet relaxed look. Think of it as an elevated version of business casual, dressy but not too dressy. For the guys, a suit or nice slacks with a button-up, ties and jackets are welcome but not required. For the ladies (or anyone who wears femme styles), cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or a cute skirt-and-top combo are all great options. Basically, look polished and party-ready, but no need to go full black tie. Wear something you feel good in - you’ll be dancing, eating, and celebrating with us all night!
Question
Is this a children friendly wedding?
Answer
We warmly welcome children to celebrate with us! That said, we kindly ask that guests under the age of 16 are picked up or taken home by 9:00 p.m. so that everyone can enjoy the evening comfortably. Please note that the venue staff, our other guests, and the bridal party are not able to provide supervision or take responsibility for childcare during the event. To help keep little ones entertained during dinner, we’ve provided themed coloring books at the tables. You can find details about the menu and evening schedule on the Schedule page. There will be an open bar, and some of Kayla’s guests are seasoned sailors—so the party may get lively!
Question
What time should I arrive for this event?
Answer
Our doors will open at 3:30 PM. We recommend arriving at the venue at least 15 minutes ahead of the ceremony, which takes place at 4:00 PM, so that you have enough time to walk to the ceremony space as there is approximately a 10 minute walk from parking.
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
There is a parking lot located on the corner of 2nd & Wright Streets. This is the preferred option. Use of the newspaper parking lot is allowable as well. We ask that you do not use the parking along the streets as we’d prefer to leave that for guests who need shorter walks due to their health. Bridal party is to park in the lot as you’ll be there longest.
Question
What are accessibility details that I might need to be aware of?
Answer
There is a service elevator to the upper floor of this venue. Should you need or desire this service please indicate on your RSVP, or by contacting Kayla or Nathan directly no later than a month prior to the event so that we can ensure that your arrival and transportation are coordinated with our venue team to allow for our day to be as seamless as possible. Our team will be in touch the day of to ensure you’re met and guided upstairs. The only other way to access upstairs is via a very long staircase, and we want all of our guests to feel comfortable and present.
Question
Is there a coat check?
Answer
There will be a location at the top of the stairs on the right to hang your coats. There will be no formal coat check, just hangers available for guests to hang their coats on.
Question
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
Answer
No. We kindly ask that you keep our wedding "unplugged" and refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. We want our guests to be truly in the moment with us during this special day. Guests who are unable to abide by this policy will be asked to remove themselves and use their phone at a more appropriate location. During the reception, photos and video are absolutely allowed and encouraged as long as you honor our Social Media Policy and do not post photos of the bride and groom or the wedding party online prior to their posts announcing their wedding. Please be respectful of our professional photographer and if she asks you to move, please understand that she’s trying to capture every moment of our day.
Question
What are your Social Media policies?
Answer
Please respect our privacy and don’t share photos of our wedding on social media as we would like to make a formal wedding announcement with our professional images. Selfies and or photos of your family at the wedding are encouraged - but please do avoid the bridal party in photos that are posted. Again, please be respectful of our professional photographer and if she asks you to move, please understand that she’s trying to capture every moment of our day.
