FAQs

The Wedding Website of Madie Heffelman and Jake Sorenson
I encourage guests to read through all of these FAQs to be fully prepared for the wedding. If you have any other questions, please fill free to reach out to either Jake or Madie.
Question

When and where is the wedding?

Answer

Our wedding will take place on March 14th, 2026, at The Pines Venue in Gravette, Arkansas. The ceremony begins at 3pm, with cocktails and dinner to follow.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Please wear your Sunday best. Also, since the wedding is in the spring and our theme is pastel colors, we would like our guest to wear pastel colors as well.

Question

What time should guests arrive?

Answer

Please arrive 30-45 minutes early to get seated before the ceremony begins.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we love your little ones, we are keeping our wedding an adults-only celebration. By adults we mean 10 years or older. So, take the night off, find a baby-sitter, and enjoy yourselves!

Question

Will alcohol be served?

Answer

Yes, we will be serving beer, wine, and two signature cocktails. The drinks are on us but please drink responsibly. Please tip our bartender, that is how she is going to make most of her money, and she really deserves it!

Question

What will be served for food?

Answer

We will be catering a Chipotle style of food. Therefore, guest will have an option to do a bowl or a burrito. In these, they can add a variety of meats, rice, veggies, and sauces however they would like. We just ask that guest be considerate with their proportions.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

If your invitation includes "and guest" or "and family," then yes! Otherwise, due to limited space and wanting to keep our guest list intimate, just bring yourself and a good time!

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony? Reception?

Answer

We are having an unplugged ceremony, so please keep phones and cameras away until after the "I do's." After that, snap away and please share! There will be a QR code up at the reception that will take our guests to an app called "POV - Disposable Camera." We would love for our guests to use this app because it puts everyone's photos all in one place.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP by January 31st, 2026. If we do not receive your RSVP by the date provided it will be marked as "No".

Question

Any questions about registry and gifts?

Answer

Guest can find our registry here on this website. However, do not feel the need to purchase the items here if you think you can find a better deal elsewhere. If guests do not want to purchase a physical gift, we also have two cash funds. One of the cash funds is for the honeymoon and one is to help us get Jake his green card. The green card fund is our featured gift, meaning it is most important to us because that process is a lot of money.

Question

Is the ceremony indoors/outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outdoors, weather permitting, and the reception will be indoors.
