FAQs
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
Thank you in advance for sending back your RSVP before June 1st! You may mail back the RSVP card you received in the mail with the number of guests that are planning to attend, as well as RSVPing right here on our website. There are a lot of you and we want to make sure none of our loved ones fall through the cracks! Thank you for taking the time to RSVP! However, if we don't receive an RSVP from you by June 1st, Max and I will assume you're not planning to attend and will not include you in our final numbers, which determine if we have enough food/seats for everyone. By not RSVPing, you are essentially forfeiting your invitation and will no longer be on our guestlist. So please, RSVP on time!
Question
Can I bring a plus-one?
Answer
Although we would love to offer everyone a plus one, we have a strict guestlist to help us stay on budget and meet our venue restrictions. Those who have been invited are specifically named on their invitation. Please do not bring any unmentioned plus-ones. We appreciate your understanding and can't wait to celebrate with you!
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
We are so thankful you will be joining us for this celebration. While gifts are not expected, we have registered for items we need in our newlywed home. You can find a link here: https://www.myregistry.com/wedding-registry/kayla-kohlhase-and-max-dapcevich-juneau-ak/4148304 If you generously decide to purchase a gift for us, we ask that you send it directly Kayla's parents home address of 10753 Horizon Drive, Juneau AK, 99801. This is because we are traveling away from home to get married, and we will have limited space to bring gifts home with us. If your gift is small and you'd like to bring it in person, there will be a place for you to put it, as well as a box for any cards. We thank you for supporting us through this next stage of life as married couple!
Question
Should a bring a gift if I'm traveling?
Answer
Since you're traveling for our wedding, making the trip is a gift in itself - physical gifts are absolutely not necessary! However if you do choose to brose our registry, any items can be shipped directly to Kayla's parents home address: 10753 Horizon Drive, Juneau AK, 99801

Question
What will the weather be like this time of year?
Answer
The WA natives know that August is typically sunny and hot! Our ceremony will be outside, and the reception will be outside on the patio however there are plenty of places for shade and A/C indoors. We will also be handing out fans and bottles of water before the ceremony to help minimize any heat.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We'd love to see family and friends dress up with us! Dress code is semi-formal to formal attire. Ladies, this means midi, tea-length or floor length dresses. Gentlemen, this means dress shirt and tie, with the option of either a sports coat or suit. Please no jeans, or crazy graphics as we'd love our photos to be cohesive, but don't be shy with color! Our wedding colors are dusty blue and rust, with pops of yellows, pinks, and oranges. Think 'Retro Garden Party' when trying to choose an outfit!
Question
Am I invited to the rehearsal dinner?
Answer
Due to the space limitations of our venue, we unfortunately have the limit the rehearsal dinner guests to those who will be playing a role in the ceremony. We apologize in advance to those who were hoping to attend, but we are so excited to see you at the wedding!
Question
Can I take pictures?
Answer
We kindly request that you enjoy this special moment presently with us and leave all cell phones or cameras in your purse or pocket during the ceremony.

We will have a QR code set up in various places for you to scan and join our Event Album, where all of your photos will go throughout the night!
Question
Are the ceremony/ reception wheelchair accessible?
Answer
Yes! Pine Creek is all one level with wide doorways and paved floors. However to reach the ceremony site, which is on the lawn, you will need to walk down a gravel hill. Please reach out if this worries you so we can accommodate you and make this day stress free for everyone!
Question
What happens after the ceremony?
Answer
Please take a look at our Timeline Page, but after the ceremony, the wedding party will be called for photos and our guests will have time to enjoy our cocktail hour! We've set up some games and activities to do during this time, as well as some sips and snacks. This is also a wonderful time to explore the surrounding gardens, as Pine Creek Nursery is stunning!
Question
Will there be food and drinks at the cocktail hour?
Answer
Yes! We will be serving two signature cocktails, as well as other non acholic beverages and will also have a lovely grazing table for you to tear into during this time. Cocktail hour is the only time to order one of these signature drinks, and they will no longer be available during dinner when we will transition to beer/wine/champagne, so if you want one (or two) make sure you grab them before we all sit down for the reception! This is to make sure we don't overwhelm our lovely bartenders, and keep the venue as beautiful as it was before we arrived!
Question
What are we having for dinner?

Our caterers have set up a wonderful dinner for you all to enjoy. This will be served buffet style. While we're not going to disclose the menu just yet, rest assured there will meat and non-meat options, as well as kid-friendly items.
