FAQs

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

We would appreciate your RSVP by January 23, 2027!

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Due to the limited space of our venue and wanting to keep our gathering as intimate as possible, your invitation will indicate if it includes a plus-one or not. We really appreciate your understanding!

Question

Can we bring our children?

Answer

While we love your little ones, we kindly ask that you take this as an opportunity for an adult-only date night :)

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

There is no formal "dress code", however for those that might appreciate some direction, we would best classify it as semi-formal. Gentlemen, perhaps a button down and jacket, or shirt and tie with pants or slacks. For ladies, any length dress or whatever you are most comfortable in. Most of the grounds will be paved, but there are also some grass areas you can walk on, so keep that in mind when selecting any heels! Although we will be indoors during the evening hours, light layers are recommended for any outdoor evening activity.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

We do! We are fortunate enough to have everything that we need within our home, so our registry is for our dream honeymoon instead! You can see all of travel and activity plans on our REGISTRY tab!

Question

What are the best airports to fly in to?

Answer

We suggest Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT). Due to its larger size, it should have more competitive fares and better availability. ~45 min drive to the venue. Other options include Greenville, South Carolina (GSP) ~50 min drive to the venue. Asheville, NC (AVL) ~65 min drive to the venue.

Can I give a speech?

Answer

While we are keeping the actual reception speech lineup very limited, we would love to hear all the great stories, and kind words.

Question

What is an audio guestbook?

Answer

We are foregoing the traditional written guestbook, and are instead asking our guests to leave us an audio message for an even more personal touch! There will be an antique phone in the cocktail hour area, simply leave your name and message for us to listen back to and cherish forever!

Answer

We will host a Welcome Drinks Celebration at Veronet Vineyards on Thursday evening from 5:30 pm - 9:00 pm. This is a drop-in event, and attendance is completely optional. If you are already in the area, we'd love to spend one-on-one time with you all, and if not we will see you on the big day!
