FAQs

We've included some answers here you might find helpful, but let us know if we've missed anything! Keep in mind, details may change as the date approaches, so check back for updates later.
Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Welcome Party - Come cute and casual! Wear linen pants, jumpsuits, summer dresses, short or long sleeve collared shirts and dress pants. No ties needed! Need a little Pinterest inspo? ==> https://www.pinterest.com/kpowlishen/welcome-party-vibes/ Wedding Day - Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. Wear your best summer formal, bright colors, and florals! We recommend dresses to be below the knee and ties or bowties. Keep an eye on the weather forecast - fall in Connecticut can be very warm or very wet! Need a little Pinterest inspo? ==> https://www.pinterest.com/kpowlishen/wedding-attire-inspo/

Question

Can I use my phone to take pictures at the ceremony?

Answer

We have professional photographers that will capture the whole day and respectfully ask that you keep your phones tucked away until after the ceremony. After that, please take as many pictures as you'd like at the cocktail hour and reception.

Question

RSVP questions - Can I bring a guest with me? Or - I don't see my name but I received an invite?

Answer

Unfortunately, due to capacity restrictions at the venue, there are no additional guests included unless written explicitly on the RSVP section of this website. If you received an invite, but don't see your name or your name is incorrect - please text Kelly or Grant! We are apparently not as tech savvy as we thought and may have made some mistakes throughout the MANY spreadsheets and lists we have! Thanks for understanding and we love you :)

Question

Are children included in my invitation?

Answer

Although we adore your children, we have decided to make our big day an adults-only event. Thank you for taking this time to celebrate with us!

Question

How should I get to and from the venue?

Answer

Please arrive at 4pm to the Prince Edward Ballroom. There will be a shuttle service from the hotels to the venue. Departure time will likely be about 3:30pm. They will return to the after party (across the street from hotels) at 10:00pm. There is ample parking at the venue, but we would love for you to join us on the shuttles or use a Rideshare app if you are planning to enjoy the open bar!

Question

Help! I'm having an issue with the hotel reservations.

Answer

The original block discounts are full, but are full price rooms available at the Homewood Suites. Use the link in the travel section. There is a two night minimum. Book soon as there are other weddings in town the same weekend! There are a few Air BnBs close to the venue in the East Hampton area if you have a larger group.
