FAQs

Question

Where is the ceremony and reception located?

Answer

The wedding ceremony and reception will be taking place in Forest Grove, OR on October 4, 2026 at Zesti Carts and Bar. This is a food cart pod at: 2131 Yew Street Forest Grove, OR There will be plenty of public parking in both the parking lot area and the side street next to the property.

Question

Is there a dress code and color theme?

Answer

There is no set dress code, nor color scheme. We hope everyone will show up wearing something in which they feel comfortable (being an October wedding the weather can be unpredictable so prepare for either fall or summer weather). Note: the wedding party will be wearing a dusty sage green color and the grooms will be wearing a dark teal color. Try not to outshine us xoxo

Question

Will there be a formal dinner?

Answer

There will not be a formal dinner planned for the wedding. Since the venue is located at a food cart pod, we plan on providing limited snacks and refreshments upon arrival, with the intention that guests will go purchase their own food and beverage at one of the many offered food carts. There is also a bar in the middle of the food cart pod for guests who wish to purchase alcohol. We will not be offended if you chose not to eat at the food cart pod. You are more than welcomed to eat beforehand and/or afterward if you wish. This is perfectly fine.

Question

May we bring food, drinks or desserts to celebrate?

Answer

Short answer is Yes and No. Since the venue is located at a food cart pod, outside food and drink are not allowed. I am sure if you wanted to bring in a bottle of water or a coffee, that would be fine, but please do not bring any outside alcohol (with the exception of wine), nor outside food. There are many food options available. We will not be offended if you do not wish to eat during the event. If you would like to eat prior to arrival or afterward, that is perfectly fine. A bottle of wine can be taken into the venue but a corkage fee will be required and handled through the bar.

Question

Do we need to pay for parking?

Answer

No, you should not need to pay for parking. There is a parking lot with lots of parking as well as a side street where you can freely park.

Question

Could I bring a last minute guest with me to the wedding?

Answer

We definitely appreciate the sentiment of wanting to bring more people to the ceremony to help us celebrate, but we would ask that you check in with either Jerry or Taylor first to see if there is enough room. We are not yet at full capacity for the venue space, but that could change at any minute. We also want to know who will be attending, as there will be a check-in list upon arrival to verify those who are supposed to be a part of the ceremony are the only ones admitted.

Question

Is the venue outside or inside

Answer

The venue is mostly outside with the bar and a portion of the seating area for the venue space being covered.
