FAQs

Question

How do I respond to the invitation?

Answer

We hope you are as excited about our wedding as we are! You can RSVP right here on our website. We kindly ask that you respond by the 1st of March 2026, so we can finalise all the details. If we do not receive your “yes”, we will assume you will not be attending and therefore will not be accounted for.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event (the only exceptions are the little ones in the wedding party/family). Formal invitations will be specific and will include the names of children who are invited. We hope you understand and can enjoy a fun date night!

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Answer

When submitting your RSVP, you will be able to let us know about any dietary restrictions or allergies. We will do our very best to accommodate everyone and will work closely with our caterer to make appropriate arrangements.

Question

Where can I find your registry?

Answer

Your presence is truly the greatest gift we could ask for, and we do not expect anything more. For those who would like to give a gift, you can find our registry in the "Our Registry" tab on this website.

Question

Will the wedding take place outdoors or indoors?

Answer

Our celebration will include both outdoor and indoor settings. The ceremony will take place outdoors on the lawn beneath the trees, followed by a cocktail hour and reception that will flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Question

What is the weather typically like this time of year?

Answer

April in Memphis is generally mild and pleasant. Daytime temperatures average around 22°C (72°F), while evenings can cool to about 11°C (52°F). There is also a moderate chance of rain, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap to stay comfortable during the outdoor portions of the celebration.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We would love for our guests to join us in cocktail or formal attire and truly dress to impress for the occasion. For women, elegant midi or floor-length dresses in soft spring colours are especially lovely. For men, a suit or a dress shirt paired with tailored trousers is perfect. You will find more ideas and inspiration in the "What to Wear" tab of our website. While this is not a strict requirement, we kindly ask that guests avoid jeans, shorts, overly casual clothing, and bridal colours such as white or ivory.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 17:00 CDT and we recommend that guests arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the official start time so you can get settled before the proceedings. If you arrive after 17:00, please wait until the processional has finished before taking a seat.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is plenty of on-site parking available for our guests. A security guard will also be present throughout the event for added safety. While parking is plentiful, we kindly encourage carpooling when possible to make arrivals and departures as smooth as possible. Guests are welcome to leave their vehicles on-site overnight if needed; however, the Junior League of Memphis is not responsible for any loss or damage that may occur.

Question

Is the venue accessible?

Answer

Yes, the venue is accessible. There is one paved walkway around the building, as well as a wheelchair- and stroller-accessible restroom. If you have specific needs, please let us know and we will do our best to assist.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged ceremony" (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do." We have hired professionals 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 and videos as you would like!

Question

Will there be a bar?

Answer

Yes! Please enjoy an open bar with beer, wine, and specialty cocktails on us. Get ready to celebrate!

Question

How can I celebrate with you if I am unable to attend in person?

Answer

We understand that travel and distance may make it difficult for some of our loved ones to join us in person. To ensure everyone can still share in this special moment, we will be livestreaming our ceremony on Facebook. You may join our private group to watch the livestream here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18HgffHad1/?mibextid=wwXIfr We would be truly honoured to have you celebrate with us from afar.
