FAQs

Question

do i have to rsvp?

Answer

YES, please! We kindly ask that all guests RSVP by July 24, 2026 so we can plan accordingly. Your response helps us finalize seating, catering, and all the fun details. Please use our wedding website to RSVP so we can easily keep track of all the details! The RSVP page will become visible after invitations are sent (a little closer to the big day!) If you do not RSVP by the deadline, we will assume you are unable to attend, certain arrangements will not be made.

Question

what time should i arrive?

Answer

Although the ceremony begins at 3:30pm, we kindly ask that guests arrive at least 20 minutes early to allow time to get settled and enjoy the musical prelude. To help us create a meaningful and uninterrupted ceremony, we ask that late arrivals wait at the patio above the stairs, where cocktail hour will take place. We appreciate your mindfulness and respect for this special moment.

Question

can i take photos/videos during the ceremony?

Answer

We have decided to have an unplugged ceremony to ensure everyone is fully present and enjoying the moment with us. We kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away before the ceremony begins. We also want to avoid phones appearing in our professional photos, so please respect this request to help us capture beautiful, uninterrupted memories. Don’t worry about missing any moments—our professional photographers will capture everything, and photos will be shared with all guests after the celebration. Once the ceremony concludes, you are more than welcome to take photos and videos!

Question

are kids invited?

Answer

All ages are welcome at the ceremony. However, please note that babies and young children (6 years and younger) cannot attend the reception, as we want the adults to enjoy the evening without added responsibilities. If you do plan to bring your child to the ceremony, please arrange for pickup during cocktail hour (4:00–4:45 p.m.) We kindly ask that parents bringing children be seated on the outside of the aisle. Should your child become upset, we respectfully ask that you step out promptly and wait on the patio above the stairs, where cocktail hour will be held. Please refrain from returning to the ceremony, as this helps minimize interruptions and ensures an intimate experience for the bride and groom.

Question

can i bring a guest/date?

Answer

If your invitation includes a “plus one,” you are welcome to bring a guest. When you RSVP on our wedding website, you’ll have the option to add your plus one. Please note, plus ones have only been extended to those specifically indicated on the invitation to help us with seating and catering arrangements. We kindly ask that you consider introducing us to your plus one before the wedding day. Our goal is to avoid first-time introductions during the celebration and make sure everyone feels comfortable and connected.

Question

is there a dress code?

Answer

For men, the dress code calls for button-up or collared shirts, with ties being optional but recommended for semi-formal events. Dress pants are required, therefore jeans or casual pants are not allowed. Footwear should be formal, so flip-flops/sandals are not appropriate. For women, dresses, jumpsuits, or dress pants are suitable options. Jeans, leggings, and other casual bottoms are not appropriate. Casual footwear like flip-flops and sneakers should be left at home. As a general rule, when in doubt, it’s always better to overdress than underdress. This not only ensures you meet the expected level of formality, but also makes everyone look great in photos!

Question

are there any colors guests should avoid wearing?

Answer

We kindly ask our guests to be mindful of color choices when selecting their outfits. Out of respect for the bride, please do not wear white (or any version; beige, cream, etc.) Additionally, our bridal party will be wearing shades of brown, so we ask that you avoid these colors as well, to help keep our wedding party distinguishable and special in photos. Thank you for understanding and helping us create a beautiful and memorable day!

Question

is this an indoor or outdoor event?

Answer

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors, while the reception will take place indoors. "smoking should be done at either cigarette receptacle located on each end of the building - not in-front of the building, nor the patio, or lawn area." - Please be respectful of the venues terms and conditions, as we are responsible for the conduct of our guests.

Question

what is for dinner?

Answer

We’re excited to share that dinner will be catered by Seth Mias and served buffet style, with a variety of delicious options — something for everyone to enjoy! If you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know as soon as possible so we can inform the caterer in a timely manner and ensure accommodations are made.

Question

will there be alcholic beverages?

Answer

Yes, a cash bar will be available and serving beer, wine, and liquor! They will accept cash or card, last call will be at 9:00pm. Be sure to grab your last drink before then! We ask everyone to please drink responsibly, be respectful, and act appropriately—we’re looking forward to a fun, joyful evening with all of you! "By law, all alcohol being consumed on property needs to be purchased through us directly, legally you are not allowed to bring in your own alcohol, if you do, it'll be confiscated." - Again, please be respectful of the venues terms and conditions, as we are responsible for the conduct of our guests.
