FAQs

Question

I'm having trouble with the hotel room booking link. Can I call the hotel to make my reservation?

Question

Formal/black tie optional

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We have made the difficult decision of having our wedding day be adults-only.

Question

Do you have a gift registry?

Answer

Although there is a link for it on this website, we do not have a gift registry. We are just unable to edit it/remove the link :)

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

People receiving a plus-one will have it clearly stated on the formal invitation's envelope ("and Guest"), which you can expect in the summer.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline and how do I RSVP?

Answer

The deadline will be determined once we send out the formal invitations, which you can expect in the summer. We will accept your RSVP by mail + add a link to this website so you have the option to RSVP online. Check back for updates!

Question

Is everything at the same location?

Answer

Yes. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all take place in the atrium of The Arcade (Hyatt Regency Cleveland at The Arcade).

Question

Indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Indoors. Cleveland weather is not to be trusted!

Question

What is the parking situation?

Answer

Valet parking for the Hyatt Regency is available, and there are several parking garage options within two blocks. The hotel recommends the 200 Public Square Garage at 320 East Superior Ave, located just west of the hotel.

Question

Will there be something to eat in between the ceremony and dinner?

Answer

Yes! We will have hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour.

Question

What if I have a food allergy or dietary restriction?

Answer

Please contact us as soon as possible so we can arrange a substitute! (Note: We are already planning to have at least one vegetarian entree option available)
