FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please plan to arrive 15–30 minutes before the ceremony begins. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:00PM, so arriving early will give you time to park, find your seat, and settle in. We kindly ask that all guests are seated by 3:50PM so we can begin on time.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We’d love for our guests to dress in formal attire... Just don't wear white!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate with our closest family and friends! Due to limited space, we’re only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. If a plus one is included, their name will appear on your invite. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Will there be any special elements at the wedding?

Answer

As our wedding falls on Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), we will have a traditional ofrenda (altar) on display to honor and remember loved ones who are no longer with us. If you would like to participate, you are warmly invited to bring a framed photo (no larger than 4x6 inches) of someone special to you who has passed. Your photo will be placed on the ofrenda as part of this meaningful tribute.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for! However, if you wish to contribute, we kindly invite you to visit our honeymoon fund in lieu of a traditional gift registry. Your generosity will help us create lasting memories on our first adventure as a married couple. https://www.zola.com/wedding/janelleandmatthew2025/registry

Question

Will there be a money dance?

Answer

Yes — we will be including a money dance as part of our reception festivities! This tradition allows guests to share a special moment with the bride or groom on the dance floor. If you'd like to participate, please feel free to bring cash. Your generous blessings are truly appreciated, and we can't wait to dance with you!
