FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please respond on or before May 20, 2021 by clicking on the RSVP section.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

If time allows, please arrive at least 10-15 minutes prior to ceremony start time. Please note that the ceremony will begin at 4:30 PM (EST). Toccoa Falls is located about an hour and a half north of Atlanta, Georgia. Please plan on leaving your home early to avoid driving through Atlanta's rush hour traffic, which typically occurs around 3:30 PM and lasts until 7:30 PM. In most cases, hotels will allow you to check in early; however, please call ahead to confirm availability.

Question

Answer

Semi-Casual Attire: (e.g., sundresses, dressy jumpsuits, floral prints, suits in lighter hues, linen pants, blazers, short-sleeved button downs, fun hats and fascinators are welcome, but not required).

Question

Where can I park for the ceremony and/or reception?

Answer

Park in the lot located in front of Gate Cottage and Toccoa Falls Books and Gifts Shop. From the parking lot, it is an easily accessible pathway along the stream to the base of the falls. Please wear comfortable shoes. Golf cart will be provided for disabled guests.

How can I request golf cart access?

The golf cart will be available for those who cannot physically walk the path, but a list must be provided at least one week before the wedding. Please notify the bride or groom of your request to be added to the list.

Question

Can I bring a friend or date?

Answer

Due to the COVID-19 guidelines set in place by the state's current executive order, at this time the total guest count cannot exceed 50 people.
