Question

WHERE CAN I TAKE A BREAK FROM WEARING MY MASK?

Answer

Masks are not required indoors when seated to eat or drink, so feel free to sit down for a minute to take a breather. If socially distancing properly (6 ft distance), masks are not required outdoors, so you can alternatively take a break outside while observing the property's breath-taking views.

Question

IS THERE TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM THE HOTELS TO THE WEDDING VENUE?

Answer

As of now: No, we apologize for any inconvenience. Originally we had a shuttle set-up to run to a few hotels, yet it is no longer available due to restrictions of COVID-19. Please plan accordingly and assign a designated driver within your group. Some Lyft, Uber, or taxi options may be available in the area, but please plan ahead as these options may be limited in this remote area (Example transportation services: https://uphail.com/us/oh/glenmont/). Please act responsibly and do not drink and drive. It is recommended to drive VERY SLOWLY on the path in and out of the Grand Barn as it is very narrow and curvy. Thank you for your understanding and please come back here for updates periodically leading up to the wedding. If you feel more comfortable, there is the option to stay on-site at The Grand Barn in their treehouses or cabins. Please book ahead of time; there are limited on-site properties available.

More information about potential room discounts is available on the "Travel" page of our wedding website. There is also the option for on-site lodging in a cabin or treehouse at the Grand Barn venue. Here is some safety information for those lodging on-site: Self check-in to properties means no staff interaction. There is no lobby, common area, or elevators. There is daily laundering of all linens, including bedding. CDC and WHO cleaning protocols are in place. There are additional lodging options nearby.

Question

IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

Answer

While it is specified what wedding party members will wear, there are no set guidelines for the attire of other wedding guests. Business casual or cocktail professional attire is recommended, however. Just a note, fall weddings can be a bit chilly. Although most of the event is indoors, it is suggested that ladies bring a shawl or jacket if they think they might be cold.

Question

IS THERE PARKING FOR THE CEREMONY OR RECEPTION?

Answer

Yes, there are plenty of parking spaces in the gravel lot next to the Grand Mohican Barn. Just a heads up that the driveway leading up to the property is a little hilly, curvy, and narrow, so be sure to take it slow when driving and look out for cars coming from the opposite direction. Be safe and do not drink and drive.

Question

WHAT DOES THE HASHTAG MEAN?

Answer

If you post photos from our wedding events on social media and if you type #welshareourlove on your post, then we can see those photos all in one place when we search that hashtag. You don't need to use it, but it's just a fun little way for us to share pictures and posts with each other.
