We are so grateful to have each of you with us as we celebrate this special day. To help us keep our wedding intimate, we kindly ask that only the guests listed on your invitation attend. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate additional plus-ones. Thank you for understanding and for helping us honor this request.
Although we love your children, we have decided that our wedding be an adults-only celebration. The only children attending will be those in our wedding party. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate this special day with you!
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the closest airport. The hotel is easily accessible from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson via taxi, public transit or ride share.
Our entire celebration will take place indoors. We’ve chosen a beautiful space that will keep everyone comfortable no matter the weather. You can relax, enjoy the day, and focus on celebrating with us without needing to worry about the elements!
We kindly ask that all guests RSVP by the deadline listed, as this helps us finalize our plans with the venue and vendors. If we do not receive your RSVP by that date, we will assume you are unable to attend and may not be able to accommodate you. If you have any questions or special circumstances, please reach out to us as soon as possible.
Doors will open at 5:00 PM, and the ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 PM. We recommend arriving a little early to allow time for parking, finding your seat, and getting settled before the celebration begins!
Yes! We’d love for our guests to dress in elegant tones that complement our gold, rustic, modern theme, such as cabernet, sand, beige, tan, and burgundy. Semi-formal attire is perfect, think dresses, jumpsuits, or elevated separates for women, and dress pants paired with a button-down or blazer for men.

Yes! Our wedding hashtag is #BecomingTheDodds.
We want to be fully present with our loved ones on this special day, so we will not be livestreaming the wedding. We can’t wait to celebrate in person with those attending, and we’ll be sure to share photos and memories afterward with friends and family who can’t make it.
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, you can bring it to the wedding, or you can have it delivered to 3306 Hutton Gardens Lane, Charlotte, NC. 28269-4915. A wedding card box will also be at our reception.
We kindly ask that you keep our wedding ceremony "unplugged" and refrain from taking any photos or videos. We want our guests to truly be in the moment with us during this special time. You are welcome to take photos and videos at the cocktail hour and the reception.
On-site parking is available at the Georgian Terrace parking garage for $20. Our venue is in downtown Atlanta, across from the Fox Theatre, where street parking is limited. If you're not staying overnight at the Georgian Terrace, feel free to use a nearby public garage or street parking—just note that standard city rates apply, and guests are responsible for their own parking.
We completely understand that not everyone can attend in person. While there won’t be a virtual option, we’ll be sharing plenty of photos and updates on our wedding website and social media so you can celebrate with us from afar.
