FAQs

The Wedding Website of Sara Lynch and Patrick Dowd
Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Black Tie Optional For men, tuxedos are welcome as well as a dark suit with a tie. For women, formal floor-length gowns and cocktail dresses are suitable choices.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us!

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

Answer

All invited guests will be included on your RSVP card and unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any additional attendees.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We have a discounted rate for our guests at the Hilton Downtown Cleveland. The link can be found in the "Accommodations" tab to book directly.

Question

When should I book a hotel room?

Answer

If you plan on attending the wedding and know you will want or need a hotel room, please book as soon as possible. We have a limited number of discounted rooms and if we need to request more rooms, we will want to do that sooner rather than later to avoid a price increase.

Question

What are the transportation options?

Answer

We will be having an open bar at the reception so for those that plan to indulge we request you plan to Uber or Lyft to the venue. For guests staying at the Hilton, we will be having a luxury shuttle taking people to the reception and back to the hotel after. For guests who are driving, there is ample parking at the venue.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at one o'clock in the afternoon so we request guests to arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony. Guests who arrive later will be asked to wait until the ceremony is underway and to slip quietly into the back of the church.

Question

Are photos allowed at the ceremony?

Answer

We will be having an unplugged ceremony so our loved ones can be present in our special moment. We have hired fabulous photography and videography teams and we want to ensure they can do their jobs effectively. We will be sure to share those photos and videos with everyone once available!
