Wedding Q&A’s

Question

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?

Answer

The doors to the venue will open up at 5:30pm. Please ensure you are on time for the ceremony as the doors will be locked at 6pm to avoid interruptions during the ceremony. The doors will reopen after the ceremony is over.

Question

CAN I BRING MY OWN ALCOHOL?

Answer

No. Do not bring any outside alcohol into the Bay Jewel Event center please. They have a fully stocked bar that will give you plenty of options to purchase from. If you bring in outside alcohol, you will be asked to leave the venue to dispose of it and it will accrue a charge to the bride and groom bringing the couple unnecessary stress. We would hate for this to happen on such a special day so pretty please respect this rule!

Question

WHERE CAN I PARK?

Answer

There will be complimentary parking available in the parking garage to the right of the Bay Jewel entrance located on Mesquite Street. Please utilize this free parking to avoid any unnecessary parking fee’s.

Question

CAN I TAKE PICTURES DURING THE CEREMONY?

Answer

We are having an Unplugged Ceremony. We kindly ask that you put away any phones or cameras until after the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture all of our special moments. We promise to share all of the photos from our ceremony with you. After the ceremony, you are free to take as many pictures and videos as you’d like!

Question

CAN I BRING A DATE?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate the guests that are included with your invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP.

Question

WHAT ATTIRE SHOULD I WEAR?

Answer

The dress code is formal. This means that suits/tuxes and gowns/cocktail dresses are welcome. For men, jackets are not required but button-ups are encouraged. The ceremony and reception venue is fully air-conditioned as we know Texas is HOT. Per the bride, women please avoid white or white adjacent dresses.

Question

WHAT DO I DO IF I CAN'T MAKE IT IN TIME FOR THE CEREMONY BUT STILL WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THE RECEPTION?

Answer

We totally understand! our ceremony will end around 6:30pm which is when cocktail hour will start. You are more than welcome to come at that time to celebrate the rest of the evening with us, and everyone is invited to both the ceremony and reception.

Question

IS SEATING RANDOM?

Answer

Nope! For the ceremony, sit wherever you would like with the exception of the reserved rows up front for immediate family. However, we will be carefully arranging the tables for the reception so our guests are sat with those they know (or their plus one or partner). We know weddings are a mixing pot of guests who may not know one another and we want to ease any anxieties for guests.
