Kristen & Luke's Wedding

FAQs

We are watching the COVID-19 situation carefully and will post any wedding updates here.
Question

Are there any restrictions regarding Covid-19?

Answer

Current state guidelines allow for indoor events to be held with minimal restrictions. With the rise of case numbers and variants, these are subject to change. Any updates to these guidelines will be communicated here and at the venue.

Question

Are guests required to be vaccinated against COVID-19?

Answer

With case numbers once again increasing and the severity of the Delta variant, we are asking everyone who is eligible and medically able to be fully vaccinated for our event. For anyone who is choosing to not vaccinate we ask that you respect our request and celebrate from home. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to Kristen or Luke.

Question

What if someone in my party is not eligible to receive the vaccine?

Answer

We understand there are age and medical restrictions to receiving the vaccine. If you fall into one of these categories we still welcome you at our wedding. We want everyone to feel like their safety is the top priority which is why we are asking all eligible individuals be vaccinated.

Question

Is the wedding outdoors?

Answer

The plan is to have an outdoor ceremony and indoor cocktail hour & reception. The ceremony will be moved indoors if the weather does not cooperate.

Question

What time should guests arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 15-30 minutes before the ceremony begins. That will give everyone enough time to find a seat and enjoy a welcome drink!

Question

Will there be any vegetarian/special diet options?

Answer

Yes, there will be many food options and please discuss with your server if you have any specific allergies or restrictions. The venue is very accommodating!

Question

Wasn't this supposed to be in May?

Answer

Yes, our original date was May 22, 2021. We decided to postpone once we realized it would not be possible for everyone to get vaccinated in time to have the big, fun and safe party that we ultimately want. Since dates for the venue and our vendors availability were limited we had very few options and ended up with Sunday, November 7th.

Question

Who designed your save the dates?

Answer

Our niece (and flower girl), Mary Harper, is an incredible artist at just 6 years old! We couldn't agree on a what we wanted our invitations to look like when Luke had the great idea to ask MH to do some paintings with our wedding colors. We loved everything that she came up with and think it's a cute, unique touch for our wedding.
