FAQs
Question
Is there transportation from the hotel and the reception?
Answer
Yes! A shuttle bus will pick guests up from Hotel Zero Degrees at 4:30 PM to bring them to the reception. It will then pick guests up from the reception at Lounsbury House at 10:00 PM to bring them back to Hotel Zero Degrees for the After Party.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes, to both! There is ample parking at St. Joseph's church as well as at the Lounsbury House. A word of caution: no cars are allowed to be left overnight at the Lounsbury House, lest you incur a $500/hour parking fee.
Question
What happens after the ceremony?
Answer
After the ceremony, the bridal party and family will be taking pictures nearby for about an hour. Guests can head to their hotel to check-in, enjoy a welcome bag, and do some touch ups before heading over to the reception at the Lounsbury House.
Question
Will the reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both (hopefully!). The cocktail hour will be outdoors in the Lounsbury House gardens on the slate patio, and the remainder of the reception will take place inside the main house. There is also a large wrap around porch outside the house available for guest use.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code is Black-Tie Optional. Long gowns/elegant cocktail dresses or tuxes/dark suits/bowties are preferred, but we're just happy to have you there in whatever you are wearing!
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Unless your invitation was specifically addressed to you and your significant other, we unfortunately have not budgeted for you to bring a plus one. We are trying to keep the event to close friends and family for a more intimate atmosphere!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love all of our tiny humans, we are keeping this event adults only. If you need recommendations on babysitters or child care services, please reach out to Keri or Kevin and we would be happy to help you make arrangements so that you can celebrate the night away with us!
