FAQs

Question

When do we need to RSVP?

Answer

Ideally send in your replies by no later than October 7th. We’d love to have you but understand if it isn’t in the cards, just let us know!

Question

I can’t RSVP online, what should I do?

Answer

If you can’t find your name in the RSVP search, double check the name listed with the text alerts. Using that name should resolve the issue. If you go by a nickname, also double check that! If you’re still having issues, please text or email Lia. Her cell phone is 360-921-3884, her email is kellogg.cardwell@gmail.com!

Question

What if I didn’t RSVP?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP by October 7th so we can finalize our guest list for our venue hosts & caterers. We will be marking you as “declined” if an RSVP is missing, we hope you understand!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Heck yeah! Cold October Oregon nights call for ciders and boozy hot chocolate. Please be mindful of consumption though as we prefer not to make a hospital trip or lose our cleaning deposit!

Question

Why Portland, OR?

Answer

Lia grew up in the area & Hamza lived nearby for over 3 years. This was their central visiting city while she was in the San Francisco Bay Area & he was working in the Portland Metro Area. They have many great memories here!

Question

Can I have a plus-one?

Answer

We’d love to have more people celebrate with us on our special day but we’re limited on food & venue space so no. Please be courteous of our venue requirements & our wishes. You can email kellogg.cardwell@gmail.com if you have further issues with this, thanks!

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We’ve booked a block of rooms at Hotel Vance near Portland State University & downtown! The block is under Kellogg-Cardwell Wedding (1455 SW Broadway Portland, OR 97201) or you can use the following link to book: https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1683593682566&key=GRP&app=resvlink We’ve also provided a substantial list of hotels under the ‘Travel’ section, though an Airbnb or VRBO may be more your speed to experience more of what Oregon has to offer!

Question

Is there parking at Castaway?

Answer

Yes, both street and lot parking. The Kellogg-Cardwell wedding party has a reserved parking lot directly across the street from Castaway with 28 spots but there is ample, free street parking. We recommend using a ride-share app or taxis to get around town if you decide to imbibe!

Question

Will there be an after party?

Answer

Sorry, nope! We figured continuing festivities are up to you as Portland has a fun nightlife scene with concerts, bars, & late-night bites.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Always anticipate chillier mornings & evenings with possibility of rain. We suggest waterproof jackets, a warm hat, & boots for your visit around town. The venue will have both indoor and outdoor space (fully covered by a tent & will have heaters) so feel free to dress it up more!

Question

Can we bring gifts?

Answer

You’re more than welcome to! We encourage you to take a look at our online honeymoon fund or registry on Zola for ease of delivery if you’d prefer something more convenient.

Question

Can we wear costumes?

Answer

While we do love Halloween, we ask that you hang up your monster masks & dress in your formal best! We’ll have some fun costume items for our wedding photo booth for you to enjoy instead.
