FAQs

The Wedding Website of Alan Rowlett and Heather Oertly
Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

"Quasi Formal Fantasy Adventure" - Rock a power (pants)suit, twirl a fancy gown, astound in your best vampire-wear or as renaissance festival royalty. Old Hollywood gala meets last party at Rivendell. Are you a Heather type? Think time travelers ball meets upscale 80s rainbow party. Are you an Alan type? Wear your one nice looking suit and hope it works.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Ceremony starts at 5. We know, we're never on time for anything, but we've hired professionals to wrangle us for this one, so try and be seated by 4:55.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Sure, just let us know in the RSVP and make sure to select a dinner for them.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Short answer: Recommend against, but it's more like a guideline than an actual rule. Long answer: We love our assorted adopted "nieces," "nephews," and "niblets," but staying seated and eating weird food and listening to people you don't know talk is super boring when there's laser dinosaur pirate princess cowboy horse kitten pokemon adventures to be had. While we largely feel the same way and have worked to minimize the amount of boring, we do recommend leaving the little ones at home. That said, we also recognize we got this particular voyage started late and many of you have expanded your adventure parties, so if not bringing your little hobbits would keep you from sharing in this quest with us, then please bring them

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Let us know ASAP in your RSVP notes, and we'll see what we can do! Note that anyone who thinks they're terribly clever and says they're "allergic" to the all vegetarian menu will receive a special piece of wilted lettuce as their sole dinner option.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There's street parking and garages around the area, but no special parking arrangements have been made. We encourage carpooling and making responsible choices.

Question

COVID Safety?

Answer

We do have several older and immunocompromised guests. We encourage everyone to be fully vaccinated and boosted. Masks and hand sanitizer will be available for everyone, and we encourage you to be safe. If you are not vaccinated, we ask that you keep a mask on when not eating.
