FAQs

Question

What time should we arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony begins so you have plenty of time to park, find your seat, and settle in before the festivities start.

Question

Is the ceremony and reception at the same location?

Answer

Yes! Both will take place at the Hilton Mystic, so once you arrive, you can relax and enjoy the evening with us.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both our ceremony and reception will be indoors (perfect for December weather!).

Question

Are there hotels nearby?

Answer

Yes! We’ve reserved a block of rooms at the Hilton Mystic for your convenience. You can find booking details on our Lodging page.

Question

What time is hotel check-in?

Answer

Check-in at the Hilton Mystic is at 4:00 p.m. The hotel will do their best to accommodate early check-ins, but please note that our ceremony begins at 3:30 p.m. If you are unable to check in beforehand, there will be ample time later in the evening after the ceremony and during the reception. If you are not staying for the full weekend (Friday through Sunday), we recommend arriving dressed for the ceremony to ensure a smooth start to the celebration.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We’d love for everyone to be fully present, so we’re kindly asking for an unplugged ceremony. Once we say “I do,” feel free to snap away during social hour and the reception!

Question

Do you have a wedding hashtag?

Answer

Yes! Please tag your photos with #hookedonhoward and don’t forget to upload them using the QR code available at the reception so we can see them all later!
