Although we would have loved to include everyone, our venue has been reserved for a specific number of guests. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate plus one's unless noted otherwise on your official invitation. Unfortunately, names that are not included on the invitation will not be accommodated for. Thank you for understanding!
We love the little ones just as much as we love you; however, this is a kid-free celebration with the exception of those who have received an invitation. We appreciate you for making arrangements so you can celebrate us. Thank you in advance for understanding and get ready to have a time!
If this happens, please change your RSVP status and inform us as soon as possible so that we can extend the invite to another loved one. If you are unsure about attending by the September 1st deadline, please RSVP "no" for attendance.
If you do not RSVP by September 1, 2025, your response will be marked as "Not Attending", with no exceptions. Being marked as "not attending" means there will be no seating, food, or drink accommodations for you. We value and love you either way! Since we were limited in the number of invitations we could send, we request the courtesy of a timely response. Since we prioritized immediate family and family friends, this will give us an opportunity to celebrate our day with other loved ones who may be able to make it.
Trust us; we understand emergencies and life events happen. Please be mindful by contacting us the moment that you notice you realize you can't attend, even if it's the week of. We value and love you still!
Our ceremony will begin promptly at the time referenced on the invitation. Doors will open 60 Minutes prior, for time to mix, mingle and find your seat. If you happen to arrive late, we ask that you respectfully wait in the cocktail hour area. Late entry will not be permitted after the wedding party's entrance. Please plan accordingly!
We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us! TO BE CLEAR... THIS IS AN ALL BLACK AFFAIR! We are requesting your best cocktail hour, semi-formal, or formal attire; whatever your vibe is. Please, NO jeans or athletic gear! Sneakers are fine as long as they are in alignment with the dress code (i.e. Black Jordan 11's with a Black suit or turtleneck.) All wedding day events are inside, please plan accordingly.
We are having an "Unplugged" ceremony; we request that there be no photos or cameras until the ceremony has concluded. The greatest gift you can give us is to be fully present as we say "I do". We have hired a professional photographer to capture this moment for us, and we promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos/videos as you'd like! Please remember not to post any photos of the wedding until the Bride and Groom has has a chance to do so first!
We can't wait to celebrate our wedding day with you! Dinner is on us, and drinks are too. There will be signature drinks and a limited bar. There is no cash bar option available throughout the night - tips for bartenders are welcome!
If you are a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. or Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., there will be a moment at the reception for the Hymns. If you'd like to participate, please be prepared. NO MUMBLING THROUGH THE WORDS! NO FORGETTING THE WORDS! WE NOT GOING LIKE THAT! Thank You Kindly.
