Due to the fluid nature of this pandemic and to ensure the safety of all guests in attendance, especially the more vulnerable individuals, we are at this time asking for a negative COVID test within 48 hours prior to the event and we will be taking temperatures at the door. We understand that this may be inconvenient for some people and we're more than happy to direct you to testing site or vaccination center. For more information about finding a testing site near your location please see the following website: https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/community-based-testing-sites/index.html We appreciate you all so much and cannot wait to safely celebrate with everyone.
The wedding date is September 25th, 2021. Both the ceremony and reception will take place at Hope's Way Gathering. The address is 4177 Amelia-Olive Branch Rd, Batavia, OH 45103.
We will certainly miss your presence. Once formal invitations are sent, please RSVP "not attending" if you cannot make it. If you have already RSVP'd yes and something comes up, please let us know that you will not be attending as soon as possible.
There is not a hotel block. We want to give our guests the option to choose where they stay in order to best accommodate them. Please see the travel section of our website for information on recommended lodging.
Unless a "Plus One" was included with your invitation, please refrain from bringing guests. We will be having a relatively small wedding and appreciate your understanding!
Unless specifically invited, we kindly request that children do not attend.
The RSVP deadline is Saturday September 1st, 2021. We request that all wedding RSVPs are sent digitally via our wedding website. More specific instructions to follow on the formal invitations.
Guests are responsible for finding their own transportation to and from the venue.
There is on site parking and it is free for all guests. Vehicles may be left at the venue overnight provided they are picked up by 12pm on Sunday.
Semi-formal/cocktail attire is requested. Some examples are a suit and tie, a cocktail style dress, or a top and skirt/slacks combination. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors and the reception will be indoors so please plan accordingly.
We are happy to report that there will be an open bar including many local brews! We will also have you select one of three delicious food options on the RSVP. Stay tuned!
Yes, we will have vegan/vegetarian/gluten free options. For any other dietary concerns, please contact us.
Because we are renting some of our decor and centerpiece items, please refrain from taking any home unless given permission.
We ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We have two wonderful photographers, Rebecca and Tristan, who will be capturing our special moments so that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ceremony. Feel free to take photos at the reception, but please be cognizant of our photographers also trying to take photos. We will be happy to share our professional photos with you if you would like!
Yes! Please use #ForeverFraley whenever posting any wedding related content so we can keep track of all the lovely photos.
