FAQs

The Wedding Website of Jessica Freer and Derek Carlson
We are a modern couple, with traditional taste. Our goal has been to incorporate all the things we enjoy at weddings, with our own twist :)
Question

Dinner Style

Answer

We are excited to offer our guests a cocktail style reception. This will include an evening of drinks, heavy hors d'oeuvres, station-style main course, dessert and dancing. Our goal is to allow our guests to graze throughout the evening.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

For the first time ever, Jess plans to be on time. Please be settled in your seat a few minutes before 6p.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Please dress in cocktail attire. Ultimately, we aim to strike a balance between formal and casual, as well as elegant and comfortable. We kindly request no jeans.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We would love to have everyone join us, unfortunately this event is limited to those addressed on your invitation. Please reach out to Derek or Jess with any questions.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love children and wish we could share this evening with all our family, friends and little ones. However, we respectfully advise this is an adult-only event of 21+.

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, please contact Jess with any dietary restrictions.

We encourage our guests to utilize their resources, Uber or Lyft to travel to the venue. Shuttle transportation will be available following the reception to Patrick's Pub in Watervliet. Uber and Lyft are readily available in Troy and Watervliet.
