Question

I see the information for the reception, but where will the ceremony be?

Question

What should I do if I cannot make it?

Answer

If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as you know by indicating "will not attend" on the RSVP page, so that we can plan accordingly. If you RSVP'd yes but are unable, please let us know as well about the change of plans. Know that you will be dearly missed, but we can hopefully get together to convene at a later date! . 🍻 Thank you!

Question

What do i do if i'm late for the ceremony?

Answer

We get it the Houston traffic got you...if you so happen to be late, our coordinator will let you know if they are still allowing guests in or if you will need to wait until the ceremony is over. The nuptials will be quick, and we don't want disruption during our special moment. You will still be able to attend the reception- so hang tight & we will see you at the beer garden! Thank you for understanding! 🤍

Question

Can we take our own pictures + videos throughout the day?

Answer

Our ceremony will be unplugged. For this, we ask all phones and cameras to be put away and there to be no pictures or videos taken! You are more than welcome to take photos + videos throughout the course of the reception (highly encouraged!)! This is such a special day for us + we have the most amazing photography team documenting our vows exchange, that way you are able to take it all in, celebrate and be in the moment with us!
