FAQs

Question

Is this an unplugged ceremony?

Answer

Yes! Our ceremony will be unplugged. We ask that all guests put away cell phones and keep them on silent during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present in the moment. We will have a professional photographer capturing everything, and we are happy to share those photos afterward. Thank you so much for helping us make this moment extra special!

Question

Can I bring a guest/plus one?

Answer

If a plus one has been designated for you, we'd love for you to bring them! Otherwise, we ask that only the guests listed on your RSVP attend. We have done our best to make sure everyone is included, but we know mistakes happen. So, if you believe someone may have been missed or have any questions about who is listed on your RSVP, please don't hesitate to reach out to Jaden or Cody. We are happy to help!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Kids are welcome! If you plan to bring your children and they are not listed on your RSVP, please reach out to Jaden or Cody so we can update our records. You only need to RSVP for children who will be taking a seat and enjoying a meal. We ask that children remain with their parents or guardians during the ceremony, and that they be stepped out with if they become fussy, out of respect for everyone attending. Please note that around 9:00 p.m., the reception will transition to an adults-only atmosphere.

Question
