Question

Answer

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The dress code is Formal Black-Tie Attire, with an Autumn/Fall color palate of: Black, Green, Burgundy/Maroon, & Deep Browns. Please refer to the "Attire" Tab above to view the colors & see inspo! Additionally, the wedding will be held mostly outside, so please be mindful in your choice of footwear. (Save the stiletto heels for another day! I recommend a "block" or "chunky" heel.)

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Your presence is the best gift we can receive on our special day! However, if you would like to spoil the newlyweds, you can donate to their New Zealand fund under the "Registry" tab above.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at the Shipp Household no later than 4:15PM. The ceremony is located a short walk from the house, and will begin at 5PM. We kindly request that you are seated by then to be able to enjoy the ceremony. Group pictures to follow after.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! We will be holding the reception at the Shipp Family Household, so there will be quiet rooms & restrooms upstairs to use if needed. (Naps, feeding, quiet time)

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes. Since it will be at the Shipp's house, there will be plenty of parking along the street outside the front of the house. Please kindly be mindful of neighbors, and park accordingly. Thank you!
