Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event with the exception of immediate family traveling from abroad so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! We have a hotel recommendations tab on our website.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

We are thrilled about our wedding, and we hope you can attend! Because we combined households, we have more than enough stuff. So, instead of a traditional wedding registry, we have decided to establish a honeymoon fund. We can’t wait to head off on our honeymoon, and we’ll be sharing lots of photos of our time.

Question

I have a food allergy/dietary restriction, where can I indicate this?

Answer

There is a place to list your food allergy/dietary restriction when you RSVP through this website (see the RSVP tab above). Our caterer will need to know any special request (gluten-free diets, vegetarian, etc.) with advanced notice. Please keep in mind dinner will be served in buffet-style.

Question

What if I had a few too many by the end of the night and can't drive?

Answer

Our #1 priority is having our guests avoid unsafe situations. In having an open bar, we ask that you please know your limits. If you are not in a condition to drive, we advise you to take an Uber home. Luckily, you can leave your car overnight at the church parking lot.

The reception will end at 12:00 AM.

Question
