Information

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

We would like all guests to confirm online if they are coming by February 15th. If scheduling flexibility is needed, please reach out to us at sshenschke95@gmail.com so we can make note of this.

Question

What are the COVID Policies?

Answer

Villa Ragusa follows the State and County Public Health Orders for Covid-19, and we ask that each individual use discretion during indoor gatherings. We also ask that everyone remain a respectful distance from those who wear masks and social distance. It will be easy to social distance in the Chapel where the wedding will take place because it is very large. Space will be more limited at the reception hall, though, so we ask guests be mindful of this when choosing to RSVP for both the ceremony and the reception. Additionally, we invite guests to view the ceremony online, if there is discomfort in attending in person.

Question

How do I participate virtually?

Answer

We are still getting this part sorted out, so please just email us at sshenschke95@gmail.com to let us know that you would like to be included in this. When the time comes, we will make sure you are provided with the link that you need.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

After the ceremony, the bridal party will be taking pictures nearby for about an hour. During this time, guests should make their way to Villa Ragusa's reception hall where appetizers will be served. The reception hall will open at 5 p.m. Please do not arrive early to this because set-up will be in progress until the reception hall opens.

Question

What are the dining options?

Answer

We will be serving assorted hors d’oeuvres and a buffet dinner that will include both meat and vegetarian options.

Question

What drinks will be served?

Answer

Wine will be at each table and soft drinks, juice, coffee, and tea will be provided. There will also be a bar where guests can pay for additional alcoholic beverages. We ask that guests are mindful, though, to keep this a safe and respectful party.

Question

Where should guests park?

Answer

Calvary Chapel has a large parking lot, so finding space for your car there should be relatively easy and straightforward. Villa Ragusa has a small private lot. Additionally, there is plenty of guest parking in the multi-level parking garage next door. Parking at this facility is free

Question

What is the attire for the wedding?

Answer

The attire is semi-formal.
