FAQs

Question

What date should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by June 8th, 2025 so we have time to verify final details with our venue and caterer. This is also noted on your invitation along with the link to RSVP. If you have any issues with the website or RSVP link, please let us know so we can accurately record your response.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

We love that you want to share this day with someone you care about! However, this day is special to us, and we would like to be surrounded by people who we know and love. We will only have space for those listed on our invitations. If you have any questions or concerns with who is listed on your invitation, please reach out to one of us to ask about it.

Question

Are children allowed at the wedding?

Answer

Yes! As long as they are listed on the invitation, your children are welcome! If you would like to use this as a "night off" and get a babysitter, we don't blame you! (Even Archer will be leaving after the first couple songs.) But if you would like to bring the kids, we are prepared and expecting them. Please keep in mind that there will be drinking at the reception/dance, so if that is something you are not comfortable having your children around, we do recommend getting a babysitter for either the whole event or just the reception - or not staying long into the reception/dance if they want to get a couple dances in.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

While there is no official dress code for our wedding, we would appreciate semi-formal attire. No need to break out the prom dresses or tuxedos (unless you want to!) For the ladies, this could mean dresses or pantsuits with nice shoes. For the guys, this could look like a polo or button-down shirt with black slacks or khakis. We want you to be comfortable, but would appreciate if you could avoid denim jeans and t-shirts. Keep in mind - it is mid-July! There is a very good chance the temps could be anywhere from 80 to 100 degrees.

Question

What are the wedding colors?

Answer

Our wedding colors are burnt orange and sage green. Those two colors will be worn by the bridesmaids and groomsmen, so if you could avoid those specific shades, we would appreciate it! Other greens and oranges are welcome, as well as any fall colors if you are looking for a specific vibe to match!

Question

When should I arrive to the venue?

Answer

We ask that you arrive to the venue at least 15-20 minutes before the ceremony starts. There is always a possibility for traffic in downtown Fargo, but it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to drive from most places in the FM area to the venue. If you would like to be on the safe side, we recommend leaving your hotel or other accommodation (within town) at least 40 minutes before the wedding starts.

Question

Where do I park?

Answer

The venue has plenty of parking! Their parking lot can accommodate up to 125 cars, which should be more than enough! On the off chance you show up and the parking lot is full to the brim, there is a parking garage nearby that allows for free weekend parking.

Question

Can I leave my car at the venue?

Answer

Yes! We encourage getting a ride to and from the venue if you plan on drinking, but if you decide to drive to the venue and realize at the end of the night that you should get a ride home, you can leave your car at the venue overnight. Please retrieve your vehicle in a timely manner if you do leave it at the venue, as there is a possibility they will be hosting another event the next day and will need their parking lot available.

Question

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Answer

Yes! Before the ceremony, during dinner, and during the reception, we welcome all photos! We just ask that you avoid taking photos during the ceremony in order to keep cell phones out of the photographer's way. We know that you want to save these memories for years to come, but we would like for our professional photos to have their time to shine. We will make sure to upload the photos when they become available if you are concerned about not being able to have any on your phone.

Question

What will be served at dinner?

Answer

We will be having a buffet style dinner catered by Chef's Table. The meal will be pork loin, chicken in a Parmesan sauce, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, and Italian blend vegetables. If you have any concerns about dietary restrictions, please let us know!

Question

What if I need a vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free meal?

Answer

Please make a note on your RSVP if you require special accommodations for your meal so we can let our caterer know ahead of time! Dinner will be buffet-style, so if you forget to let us know, there will still probably be food you can eat, but it likely won't be as filling as getting a full meal.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

There will not be an open bar at the reception. The average cost of drinks at our venue will be around $6-$8, and there will be non-alcoholic drink options as well.

Question

When will the reception end?

Answer

We no longer will have access to the venue once midnight rolls around. In order to have enough time to put away our decorations/get everything organized, we ask that our guests start making their way out around 11pm.
