FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is cocktail attire, but really we just want you to feel comfortable and happy! A few tips - the ceremony will be outside on the lawn (careful with heels!) and the reception will be tented with heaters. We hear that the heaters keep things quite warm!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be outdoors - and yes, the weather is looking chilly! Bring a coat and plan accordingly because we are committed to having the ceremony outside unless for some reason it is raining. Reception will be indoors/tented/warm!

Question

What is the weather like in Georgia at this time?

Answer

Check the weather before you pack! The weather is looking cold (we're talking lows of 30 and highs of 50.) Normally around this time of year, it has ranged from 50s-70s... but what are you gonna do. It looks like it will be sunny though so hopefully it will be a warm 50!

Question

Will there be vegetarian option for food?

Answer

The food will be catered by City Barbeque and there will be a corn pudding and macaroni and cheese that are both veggie friendly. We also have veggie patties for the 5 people who indicated they are vegetarian!

Question

What are you guys doing about Covid?

Answer

Covid? What's covid? :) Obviously Covid is a big concern for anyone planning a wedding (or a trip, family gathering, going to the grocery store, etc…). We chose a venue that gives us the option to be open air as much as possible. While masks are not required at this time, you are welcome to wear one if you feel more comfortable. Covid-19 tests are not required but are encouraged if you are in close contact with someone who tested positive or aren't feeling well. We will update you if the circumstances change and are looking forward to celebrating together.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

While we love all of your kiddos, we are planning our wedding to be a kid-free celebration and hopefully a fun night out for you. We appreciate your understanding! If you are planning to bring your younger kids on the trip and need recommendations for babysitters, please let one of us know! We are happy to help find qualified folks in the area.

Question

Do I need a rental car?

Answer

Yes, we would advise that you get a rental car for your trip. While the hotel we have a room block is walkable to bars/restaurants in town, there may be more that you'd like to see and a car would be helpful. There is not many options for Ubers/Lyfts in town and Carrollton itself is about 50 minutes from the airport.

Question

Is there parking at the wedding?

Answer

Yup! There is plenty of parking at the venue.

Question

Can I walk from the Marriott hotel to the ceremony?

Answer

It is about 1 mile from the Marriott to the venue and it is safe and walkable with side walks. We aren't necessarily suggesting you do that, but if the question is CAN you walk, the answer is yes you can.

Question

I am staying at the Marriott - will there be a shuttle?

Answer

YES! We will have a 10-passenger van shuttling people back and forth from the Marriott to the Inn at Oak Lawn Farms. We will start running the shuttle at 3:50 PM and go through 4:50 PM. Throughout the reception we will regularly run the shuttle back and forth.

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Answer

We are asking for what's called an "unplugged ceremony" however, for the rest of the weekend, please do and use our hashtag #dropthatess. We just ask that you wait until the Bride and Groom post a wedding picture first before sharing anything on social media. Also, no pics of Katelyn where she's making a weird face or something. Please and thank you :)

Question

What will we do at the reception?

Answer

OK, we are excited about this. We are having Live music from our friends and local Carrollton musicians, Eva Rose and David Pippen. We love games and will have board games, trivia, and lawn games as well. Finally, Katelyn will be producing a wedding music video - so stay tuned for your allotted lines and be sure to record your lyric at the reception!

Question

Is it an open bar?

Answer

Yes! We will have a broad selection of some of our favorite beer, wine and seltzers as well as a few signature drinks. While we won't have a FULL bar we will have a variety of liquor, mixers, and some signature drinks.

Question

We are hoping to extend our trip to Atlanta/Carrollton area. Will you be in town?

Answer

We are leaving the Monday morning after our wedding to get away for a few days on a little mini-moon! We will be around the full week before the wedding and would love to see you OR can help you ahead of time with tips on where to visit/things to see during your trip

Question

I still have questions. What is the best way to contact you?

Answer

We get it. Katelyn asks a lot of questions too. Reach out via our wedding email address at KBandJBwedding@gmail.com.
