FAQs

Question

Is there a ceremony?

Answer

There is not a ceremony. We have chosen to exchange vows privately. However, celebrating with our friends and family was very important to us both. So we hope you can join us for a reception celebration!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than October 1st, 2025

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love all the kids in our life and would be happy to celebrate with them! We are leaving it up to the parents on whether or not you'd like to enjoy a date night/trip without your little ones. Please just let us know if your kiddos are attending when you RSVP.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

No need to rent a tux! This event is cocktail attire. Think slacks and button ups, golf shirts, long-ish dresses and dressy jumpsuits. But most importantly, come comfortable! Maybe just don’t wear jeans.

Question

Where should I stay in Albuquerque?

Answer

We do have a room block at Sandia Resort and Casino. But please feel free to stay wherever suits your wants and needs! There’s a number of hotels near the venue. Albuquerque also has some great Airbnbs & VRBOs.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the reception?

Answer

There is not a shuttle from local hotels to our venue. Please make sure to arrange for transportation on your own. Please stay safe and utilize Uber and Lyft if you need it! Parking at the venue is free.

Question

What if I have a dietary restriction?

Answer

We want all our guests to enjoy the night, including the food! We are planning to have gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian options available. Please see menu details below for dietary information.
