FAQs

Question

Which event am I invited to?

Answer

Your invitation will either say ceremony/dinner or reception. If it says ceremony you will come for that and can stay through the whole night. Again, as much as we love ALL of you we wanted to keep the ceremony and dinner more intimate; in order to spend some extra time with our immediate family before all the fun begins. If your invitation only says reception, then that is the part of the event you are invited to (AKA the fun part).

Question

Can I RSVP online?

Answer

Yes, and we encourage you to do so! You can use the link on the RSVP page of this website. You will type each person's name in the search bar and be able to RSVP from there. Please be sure to RSVP for everyone in your party.

Question

When do I need to RSVP?

Answer

Please RSVP by June 1, 2025. We know that sometimes things come up, so if you need to reach out after the deadline, feel free to contact us. That said, we kindly ask that you try your best to let us know by the specified date to help us with finalizing our planning. Thank you!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We are so excited to celebrate with everyone who is special to us. So, everyone who is invited will be listed on the invite and in the RSVP section when you RSVP on the website. If you were given a plus one, it will be listed on your invite.

Question

When should we arrive?

Answer

It depends. If your invite includes the ceremony and dinner, then please arrive around 5:00. This will give everyone time to get seated and the ceremony can promptly start at 5:30. If you are just invited to celebrate with us at the reception, plan to arrive around 7:30 for a brief cocktail hour. Grab a drink, then you will move into the reception hall at 8:00. You will be met with dessert. We will have our first dance, family dances; all that normal wedding stuff. Then, we will promptly start the party!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Dress Code: Semi-Formal to Formal We’re excited to have you celebrate with us in style! Feel free to dress up and bring your best look. If you're wondering what fits the setting, think semi-formal to formal—whatever that looks like for you. Here are some suggestions... For the guys: Whether you choose a sharp button-up with dress pants, a suit, or a tux, just come dressed to impress! For the ladies: Whether it’s a stunning cocktail dress or an elegant evening dress, we want you to feel amazing and ready to celebrate. That said, your presence is what matters most. Whether you dress to the nines or keep it simple, we’re just so grateful to have you there. Wear what you’re comfortable in — and get ready for a night full of love, laughter, and fun!

Question

Where to park?

Answer

There is plenty of parking at the Dayton Art Institute. However, if you catch a ride or an uber home please pick up your car the next morning ASAP.

Question

Is the wedding indoor or outdoor?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will be indoors. There will be a brief cocktail hour in the outdoor courtyard, but there are plenty of covered areas to block you from the sun. If it rains or is really hot, the cocktail hour will be moved indoors.

Question

Can we bring our kids?

Answer

As much as we love your kids, this will be a kids free celebration (with the exception of the kids in our wedding party). It will not be a kid friendly environment between the music and the drinks. So, get a sitter, have a drink or few and enjoy the night with us.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Absolutely! We will have an open bar for you throughout the whole night.

Question

When does the reception end?

Answer

All of our guests must be leaving the venue by 11:30. Feel free to head home, to a hotel, or continue the party in the nearby Oregon District. Whatever you do, get there safely!

Question

Can I take photos?

Answer

Depends on the time. We ask that during the ceremony, anyone in attendance please keep your phones away. We have the best photographer to get those photos and want to be able to see your faces, not your phones in the photos. However, once the reception begins, absolutely feel free to take as many photos as your want! We just ask that any photos you share are only of yourself until we are able to share our day with everyone.

Question

Do you have any song requests?
