FAQs

Question

What is idoroo?

Answer

Our wedding is themed like a music festival as we both enjoy them and Justin works in this industry, so we have named it "idoroo". There may be some different details from a traditional wedding. Main point: let loose and have fun as we tie the knot!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes--Funky Formal. Meaning please wear a suit or a dress but have a little fun with it! Funky patterns, colors, and accessories encouraged!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to size constraints, only the names listed on the invitation are invited.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love all of your kids! However, due to size constraints the only children invited are the flower girl and ring bearer. Enjoy a date night to yourselves!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes, please see our travel page for hotel room block information. Many other hotels are available nearby, some are closer to downtown, and some are available closer to the venue. This is also the city of thousands of AirBnBs!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, free parking lot available at the ceremony/reception site. Also able to park overnight. Gates to the park close to in-traffic at 8pm (may exit at any time). Gates reopen at 6am.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Unfortunately, no. There should be uber/lyfts available both to and from the wedding--but we encourage sharing these or carpooling as sometimes ride availability may be scarce.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We plan on a prompt ceremony start time of 4:30pm. Please aim to arrive by 4:15pm as Nashville traffic is unpredictable and sometimes ubers/lyfts take a bit longer than expected!

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Everyone is invited to welcome drinks the evening of 9/13 at Pins Mechanical. Please see Events page for more details. If you were invited to the Rehearsal Dinner, this will be taking place at Nicky's Coal Fired after rehearsing at Ravenswood Mansion. Time TBD but most likely rehearsal around 4pm with dinner at 6pm.

Question

I know this is outside, but what if it rains?

Answer

In case of rain the ceremony will be moved to inside the mansion but only close family members and wedding party will be invited to this as the mansion only holds a tight group of people in a ceremony set up (don't worry, we will contact you if this is the case). The reception is tented on a patio so everyone will still be invited to this, including cocktail hour.

Question

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

Answer

There will be a buffet meal but food allergies will try to be accommodated. Please note these in your RSVP.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Your attendance at our wedding is the best gift of all, but if you feel inclined to get us a gift, see the registry tab above!
