FAQs

Question

Can I leave my car at the venue?

Answer

No. Vehicles are not permitted to be left over night at the venue, as they book events every day of the weekend! For those planning to partake in alcoholic beverages, please plan to ride the shuttle from the Holiday Inn Express parking lot to and from the event.

Question

What is the bar situation?

Answer

Libations will be distributed from an open bar (with cash tip of course)! We will supply beer and wine selections. Additionally we will have vodka, gin, bourbon and whiskey, along with their associated mixers.

Question

Will you have transportation?

Answer

We will be running a shuttle bus to and from the event! **More specifics too come**

Question

Will festivities be inside or outside?

Answer

One of the many joys of western Pennsylvania is you never know what weather you will get the first weekend or two of November. With this being said, our goal is to have as much of the day outside as possible. We will be keeping an eye on the weather, but please plan to dress accordingly to accommodate the temperature outdoors. If dreams can come true, the ceremony and dancing will all take place in an outdoor setting.

Question

Are there any plans after the wedding?

Answer

For those that still have fuel in their party tank at the close of the wedding, you are welcome to join us in the hotel Holiday Inn Express lobby. Join us for some mingling and light snacks. BYOB.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Arrivals at the wedding venue are between 3:00pm-3:15pm. Follow the gravel walk way from the parking lot to the back of the building. You will see the ceremony seating set up near the pond in the distance! Ceremony will begin at 3:30pm.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please check your invitation for specific details about plus-ones (ie. Whomever is included on your envelope, is invited to the wedding). We've limited the guest list to ensure we have enough space, so we appreciate your understanding.

Question

Are children included in my invitation?

Answer

We are so lucky to have a small army of AMAZING children in our life! While we wish they could all come, we are unable to have them join our big day. So for all our fabulous guests who are in mom and dad mode, please plan for childcare accordingly (insert sunglasses emoji face here).

Question

Is there anything happening the night prior to the wedding?

Answer

For those that may be staying both Friday and Saturday night at the hotel, we invite you to join us for an evening of mingling with family and friends. It's not every day that we can all be together, so let's maximize our time!! We will be at Cobblehaus At The Falls (1015 Leesburg Station Road, Mercer, PA 16137). We will have the pavilion rented for our group. Simply follow the gravel walk way that wraps around the building. This location has food trucks, live entertainment, a water fall, and of course beer. This is nothing formal, so come as you are for a causal knee slapping good time!

Question

What's the deal with the food?!

Answer

Our venue started out as a catering company, so they take pride in feeding their guests. We will be offering charcuterie during cocktail hour. Dinner will be served family style, and will be cooked right on premises so it will be SUPER fresh and delish. The kitchen will prepare enough for each guest to have 1 of each of the proteins we selected, as well as servings of the side dishes. For those with a sweet tooth we will be having the good old fashioned Pittsburgh cookie table. Don't look around for cake because it won't be there ;). Be sure to pack your own to-go box of cookies to take with you for the hotel after the reception.

Question

Do you want me to snap some shots for you during your ceremony?

Answer

This may seem silly to include but we want everyone to be as present as possible! With that being said, please keep your phones away during the ceremony.! Let’s leave the photographers to snap the pics during the nuptials, so we can all enjoy the festivities together.
