Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We love kids, but for our wedding, we would like to love them from a distance. We have spent a lot of time weighing the pros and cons of having kids at our wedding, and we have made the decision to keep both the ceremony and reception to adults only. We recognize this may be challenging for our dear friends and family with children, and we are happy to talk through these challenges and help out in any way we can!
Question
Can I take pictures or videos?
Answer
Just for the ceremony, we hope everyone will be "unplugged" - meaning you are fully present for our precious moments and keep your phones/cameras off and in your pockets or purse. We will have professional photographers, and are happy to send you an album once it is produced, just ask!
Question
I have dietary restrictions, can I make a special request?
Answer
Jasmine is vegan and understands the struggles of a restricted diet at large social events. The menu will have a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. If you are specifically vegan, please reach out to us so that we can coordinate the number of vegan alternatives to be provided. If you have any other special requests, please reach out to Jasmine or Joshua.
