FAQs
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
You can click the RSVP tab above and RSVP anytime. You can also use the RSVP card and return envelope included in your invitation if you prefer to mail it back to us.
Question
What if I don’t RSVP in time?
Answer
If you do not RSVP by April 24th, you will unfortunately be marked as “not attending”. Although we would love to make exceptions, our venue will need an exact guest count by this date. This will mean you are NOT allowed to show up to the venue (there will be no seating, food, or drink accommodations for you). Please respect our deadlines.
Question
What should I do if I can’t make it?
Answer
You will be missed! Please indicate “can’t make it” on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP’d that you will be here please notify Jayton as soon as possible that you will not be attending.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We want everyone to be comfortable so our dress code is casual, however this is still a wedding so please dress appropriately. The ceremony will be held outdoors (weather permitting) and the reception will take place indoors. The weather in Montana has a mind of its own, so dress for fair weather (anywhere from the high 50s to low 70s) but probably pack something warm just in case, or whatever you will be most comfortable in.
Question
Can I bring a date or a plus one?
Answer
Unfortunately due to our budget and venue rules, we are only able to accommodate those guests who have been formally invited on your invitation. Your invite will be made out to “(Your Name)” and if a plus one has been given to you it will say how many seats we have reserved for your party on the RSVP card included with your invitation. Unfortunately if you choose to bring an extra anyways we cannot guarantee there will be enough food for them. Thank you for your understanding!
Question
Is this a kid friendly wedding?
Answer
Absolutely! Our kiddo will be a part of the wedding party along with some of her cousins. All we ask is that your children behave appropriately for a wedding. I obviously understand kids will be kids, but I have expectations for our 1 year old daughter to behave accordingly and we expect you to have some for your children as well. If you don’t trust your kids to behave politely for at least the duration of the ceremony we kindly ask that you consider making this a kid-free date night or celebrating with us another time. Again we mean no disrespect by this, but our wedding will not be a free-for-all for feral children. Thank you for respecting our event!
Question
Can I share pictures of your big day on social media?
Answer
We kindly ask that you do not share any photos of the ceremony on social media until either Josh or Jayton has had the chance to do so first (which shouldn’t be an issue due to our “unplugged” ceremony). Before and after the ceremony will be fair game to post about as much as you’d like.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We are having an “unplugged” ceremony, meaning there will be no phone or camera use allowed until the reception. The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say “I do”. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture pictures of the ceremony that we will share with everyone as soon as they are available to us. As soon as the ceremony concludes feel free to take as many photos/videos as you like! We will have our wedding hashtag posted around the reception so you can “tag” us in all your posts.
Question
What should I get for a gift?
Answer
The greatest gift of all is your presence on our special day! However, should you wish to gift us anything we have a link to our registry in the tab above. There are very few items as we already have a very full house, so we would greatly appreciate a contribution to our honeymoon fund so we can make amazing memories. There is access to contribute directly from this website, there will also be a box for cards at the reception. If you truly wish to gift us a physical item I have included a couple things on the registry if that is more your style. Again, no gift is required but we do greatly appreciate everything.
Question
Will there be a bar?
Answer
Yes! There will be an open bar with 2 licensed bartenders. We will have several liquor options as well as a keg, canned beer/seltzers and 2 pre-made specialty cocktails. Although this is an open bar there will not be limitless alcohol so once we are out of something we are out. You are ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED to bring any outside alcohol onto the property of the venue per our event insurance and the venue’s rules. Our bartenders do reserve the right to cut anybody off that seems to be too drunk (if you are cut off please do not make it our problem). Above all else please respect our bartenders, they are our personal friends and will appreciate tips.
Question
Where should we stay?
Answer
The venue is located in Gallatin Gateway, MT which is less than 15 miles from Bozeman and Belgrade. We have decided not to have a hotel block since most of our guests are from out of town and many of the hotels around town will not accommodate for the number of rooms we would need. I have provided my recommendations for hotels and their websites are accessible from this website under the “travel”. I also recommend looking at Airbnb/VRBO for a bigger group. If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to reach out to Jayton.
