Q: How do I RSVP? A: You can RSVP via our wedding website! Simply click on the RSVP tab, enter your name, and indicate your attendance for the listed events. Q: What is the RSVP deadline? A: Please RSVP no later than July 31, 2026 to ensure we can accommodate everyone comfortably. If we do not have your RSVP by that date, we will consider it an indication that you will not be attending. Q: Can I change my RSVP? A: If you need to change your RSVP before the deadline, please contact us directly using the email address vanallen.williams.2026@gmail.com
Q: Can I bring a plus-one? A: Due to our venue's capacity limit, we can only accommodate so many guests. If your RSVP search only contains your name, we are not able to accommodate a plus-one at this time. If the RSVP status of any guest changes, please contact us directly at vanallen.williams.2026@gmail.com. We appreciate your understanding! Q: Are children invited? A: We love all the kiddos in our lives, but we have decided that our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. Thank you for making arrangements in advance and we understand if this affects your ability to attend.
Q: What is the dress code? A: We kindly ask that you wear semi-formal or formal attire. Please note that the ceremony will be held outside (weather permitting), so we recommend taking that into account when considering footwear! Q: Is there a theme for the wedding? A: There is not necessarily a "theme," but we would love if people could wear jewel tones/fall colors. The Gallery tab of our website (coming soon!) has a bit of a mood board, if you want more reference for colors and the overall vibe. Q: Is there anything I shouldn't wear? A: We ask that guests please refrain from wearing white, off-white, cream, etc. If you are wearing a dress, please avoid Azazie, if possible- bridesmaids dresses will be purchased there. If you do shop on that website please check in with us at vanallen.williams.2026@gmail.com to make sure you are not purchasing a dress identical to a bridesmaid.
Q: How do I get to the venue? A: Directions and the venue address can be found in the Travel section of our website. Q: Are there accommodations nearby?
