FAQs

The Wedding Website of Jake Mendel and Elizabeth Shimamoto
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by June 30th so we can finalize seating, catering, and all the fun details! We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We're so grateful for your generosity! We've linked some curated gift ideas for our wedding and showers. While we absolutely appreciate the thought behind physical gifts, we're currently maximizing our space (and our savings!) before we move into our first home together. Instead, what feels most meaningful to us right now is helping fund our honeymoon to Japan and getting our first place together down the road. We've set up a registry focused on those goals, and we'd love if you'd consider contributing to one of them! Whether it's a flight, a night in Japan, or a piece of our future home, your gift becomes part of our adventure together. We're also working on adding experience-based gift options soon at our honeymoon that we can enjoy as newlyweds. So keep an eye on our registry page for those! No matter what you choose, we're grateful. Your presence at our wedding means everything. 💜

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We’ll begin welcoming guests at 4:30 PM with a pre-ceremony drink. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM, so we recommend arriving by 4:30 to grab a drink and get settled.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Cocktail to semi-formal attire is encouraged. We’d love to see guests in shades of purple or soft pastels! But most importantly, wear something you feel great in and can dance all night. 💃🕺 Pro tip: comfortable shoes are encouraged! Our ceremony will be held on grass, so we recommend avoiding narrow stilettos or pointy heels.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to space limitations, we’re only able to accommodate guests listed on your invitation. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We adore your little ones! While we are including a small number of children from close family in our celebration, the wedding will otherwise be an adults-only event. We hope this allows everyone to relax and enjoy the evening.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! We’ve secured discounted room blocks at nearby hotels. Please visit the Travel section of our website for booking details.

Question

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

Answer

Absolutely, please note any dietary restrictions when you RSVP so we can ensure you’re well taken care of!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! Parking will be available at the venue, and we will be providing parking vouchers for our guests.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels?

Answer

The venue is just minutes from the airport and nearby hotels, and rideshare services are easily accessible. We will be providing shuttle transportation to the after party for guests who would like to continue celebrating with us!

Question

Are there any other events I should know about?

Answer

We can’t wait to celebrate all weekend! Additional details about any welcome gatherings or post-wedding festivities will be shared closer to the big day.
