Yes, our wedding is the weekend before Thanksgiving. We understand that this might be a tad bit difficult to work around since people usually travel out of town this weekend to be with friends or family. With Katelyn being a teacher, this date was best for us so that we can enjoy our time together as husband and wife before school is back in session. Again, we understand if you cannot attend because of the holiday, but we are so grateful that you are choosing to come celebrate with us on our day!
We are planning for an outdoor (open chapel) ceremony and an indoor reception. With that being said, there is truly no way to know the weather for the event ahead of time, especially since we live in Texas. We are hoping the weather will be cooler but please check the weather accordingly closer to wedding day. Should we receive notice of inclement weather, our venue is able to move our ceremony indoors. The open chapel and the reception building are within walking distance of each other.
The wedding ceremony will start at 4:00pm, so please plan to arrive and take your seats between 3:30-3:45pm. The doors to the open chapel will be closed once the ceremony has started. This will give us enough time to get Katelyn down the aisle and have photos done right as the sun is going down!
There is some onsite parking available and the car lot holds 200-250 cars. There should be no issue finding a place to park, and both the open air chapel and the indoor reception hall are easily within walking distance of one another. The onsite parking area is composed of a gravel road with grass as the actual parking lot. There is a sidewalk that leads from the gravel road to both the chapel (on the left when you park) and the reception hall. If you are someone who requires additional transportation from the parking lot to the chapel or reception, please let us know and we will arrange for someone to transport you from one place to another. If you are driving to the venue but potentially getting a ride after, please be aware that all vehicles can be left on site overnight but must be picked up by 10 am the following morning or will be towed at owners’ expense. Please plan ahead and make smart decisions!
Please RSVP no later than 1-2 months out from the wedding date if at all possible. We understand that schedules change and things can be hectic to plan this time of the year, but purely for food, drinks, and seating purposes we would like to know our final headcount by Saturday, October 22nd to finalize plans with all vendors. We also have to report back to our venue our final guest count and other details no less than a month out from our wedding date, so it would help us out a ton to have that information in to meet the deadline.
Although there is not a strict dress code, we do ask for Sunday-best at minimum. Our colors are tan and terracotta, so please refrain from wearing these colors if at all possible.
If your partner is named on your invitation and your online RSVP, then yes! If you do not see them explicitly named, although we would love to have everyone here to celebrate with us, we appreciate your understanding of our venue's capacity restrictions.
Although we would like to accommodate all kids, we only have the capacity to support the kids listed on the RSVP link or invitation. However, if you have young children we encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourself!
