FAQs

Question

Uh... there's a pandemic?

Answer

Yeah. It's made things... tricky, to say the least. We've decided we can't wait anymore and will be moving forward on 5/8/21. We'll have masks and hand sanitizer available, and do our best to keep people spread out. If you don't think celebrating with us in person is safe for you, we understand! We're working on options that will allow you to join us virtually.

Question

I wish I could celebrate with you but I just don't think it's safe...

Answer

We get it. We really do. And we understood that when we decided to move forward in September, some people would prioritize their health and safety over traveling to the wedding. While we wish things were different, we have to deal with the reality of the situation. We will be working on a solution that will allow our guests to join us virtually, so stay tuned!

Question

Do I Need to RSVP AGAIN?

Answer

Yes please! Once you get your Change the Date, please respond by April 21, 2021 so that we can feed you and make sure you have a place to sit.

Question

When and Where will the Wedding be?

Answer

Our wedding is set for May 8, 2021 in Houston, TX!

Question

What Time Does the Ceremony Start?

Answer

The ceremony will start PROMPTLY at 5 PM, so please be in your seats by 4:45 PM so you don't miss anything!

Question

Can I bring my small child?

Answer

While we love all your little ones, our wedding is going to be for adults only with very few exceptions. If your child is included on your invitation, they're invited! If not, please make arrangements to leave them at home.

Question

Is it an Indoor or Outdoor Wedding?

Answer

It's a little of both! Our venue is an old French-Mediterranean building with a gorgeous terrace where our ceremony will take place. An indoor/outdoor cocktail hour will follow on the upstairs patio, then the reception inside will take place after that! We will make sure to appropriately distance everyone for safety. PLEASE NOTE: as an older building, there are no elevators and there are some stairs necessary to get to each part of the party, so keep that in mind!

Question

What's the Dress Code?

Answer

We're asking that you wear your favorite Cocktail attire.

Question

Where Should I Stay?

Answer

We've arranged a hotel block at the Hilton Garden Inn in The Galleria! It's about a 10 minute ride to the venue and includes a free shuttle to take you back and forth to the venue as well as Houston's famous Galleria mall! See the "Accommodations" tab for more details!

Question

Do I need to Rent a Car?

Answer

Only if you want to! Uber is huge in Houston, and the hotel is in a very walkable, safe, and fun part of the city. If you want to venture further, ubers are inexpensive and readily available.

Question

What is There to Do in Houston!

Answer

Plenty! Please see the "Events" page for wedding events. Please see the "Things to Do" page for other things to do in the Bayou City!

Question

What's Parking Like at the Venue?

Answer

If you drive your car to the wedding, parking is easy and plentiful! There's a large lot behind the venue where your car will be nearby and safe.

Question

Will There be an Open Bar?

Answer

Yes! The bar will open after the ceremony and close 30 minutes before the end of the reception.

Question

Can we Share our Photos on Social Media?

Answer

Please do! Also feel free to use one or all of our hashtags when you do! #SwipedWhite #NiceDayForAWhiteWedding #JonesingForThatWhite

Question

I Have a Question That Wasn't Answered Here...

Answer

The answer is "no." Just Kidding! Before the wedding, feel free to reach out to us if you have a question or need more information. On wedding day, neither of us will have our phones so please contact our planner, Kristina [information will be posted here closer to the wedding day].
