Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The dress code is semi-formal attire. Cocktail dresses, midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits, suits, blazers, dress shirts, and slacks are all great options. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. Please no jeans or T-shirts! Our ceremony and reception will be indoors at the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts. This is a change!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly ask for everyone to RSVP by May 1, 2026. After this date, RSVP's will no longer be accepted. This helps us make sure we have the right amount of food, drinks, and seating prepared for everyone. Thank you for understanding and helping us plan a wonderful celebration!

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM; we ask that all guests be seated by 3:50 PM. Our ceremony will take place in the Art Gallery, located on the 2nd floor of the Suffolk center (this is a change). To avoid interruptions once the ceremony has started, late arrivals will be stopped and asked to wait until the ceremony has ended before being seated.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to venue space limitations, only the guests listed on your invitation may attend. If a plus-one is included, it will be noted on your invitation. Thank you for understanding as we keep our celebration intimate with close friends and family.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Our wedding is child-free, with the exception of close family. Children who are not listed on the invitation are not invited. Thank you for your understanding!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes, there is plenty of free parking located right next to the Suffolk Center (located at the intersection of Pine St and Finney Ave).

Question

Is it an open bar?

Answer

Yes! There will be an open bar with select beer, wine, liquor, and signature cocktails for all guests to enjoy. While drinks are fully covered, we kindly ask guests to have a small amount of cash on hand to tip the bartender.
