FAQs

Question

When is the wedding?

Answer

Saturday, August 23, 2025, at The Hidden Oaks in Richmond, Virginia.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving on property around 5:55 PM to allow time for parking. Guests will not be able to head down to the ceremony space until 6:00 PM on the dot. Once seating opens at 6:00, guests will be seated, and the ceremony will begin promptly at 6:15 PM. Please plan to arrive on time so you don’t miss a moment!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is garden party cocktail attire. For the ladies: midi or maxi dresses in seasonal colors or florals. For the men: suits or dress shirts with slacks (ties optional). The ceremony is outdoors and cocktail hour is indoors, so please dress comfortably yet polished — no casualwear, please! Please note: We do kindly ask that guests avoid wearing solid yellow or white, as this color is reserved for the bridal party and bride.

Question

Can I bring a date/guest?

Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate this special day surrounded by our closest friends and family. As we’re keeping it intimate, only those formally invited on your wedding invitation can be accommodated. If you have a plus one, it will be noted on your invitation and when you RSVP.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we love all of your little ones, due to the intimate nature of our celebration, we are only able to accommodate children of immediate family. Thank you for understanding.

Question

What if I don’t RSVP in time?

Answer

If we don’t receive your RSVP by the deadline, we’ll have to assume you’re not attending. We’ll definitely miss you, but we also have to finalize numbers for the venue, catering, and seating arrangements. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to accommodate late responses, so please make sure to RSVP on time!

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly request an unplugged ceremony; all phones should be put away, please refrain from taking photos and videos during the ceremony.

Question

Will there be a dinner reception?

Answer

No, our celebration will be a cocktail-style gathering featuring a delightful array of hors d'oeuvres and desserts. We’ve chosen this format to create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, allowing everyone to mingle and enjoy the evening without the formality of a sit-down dinner. To ensure you're comfortable, we recommend having a light meal before the ceremony if you typically dine at traditional dinner hours. We look forward to celebrating with you!
