The church has their own parking lot and street parking available. Look at signs before parking to make sure you are in the right area.
Grace E. Simons Lodge has a designated parking area, its free and abundant, and a few feet from from the venue. Across the street from the church.
We are having tacos and we have chicken, beef, fish and vegetarian options at your own choosing. We are also having rice and beans for toddlers who are new to eating and need something soft and filling. Parents are also welcome to bring their own food for their children/toddlers/babies.
Yes, most of our family have children so it's hard to say no because finding a babysitter is hard, so we won't turn you away. We will try to have games for children to play, however do know that there is a fountain in the venue, so if you bring your children, have someone watching them at all times to avoid accidents. You are also free to not bring them if you find a babysitter, up to you, just let us know in the RSVP.
We are having a church wedding and we need to respect the church's guidelines for ceremony attire. Ladies, if your dress is sleeveless or you are showing cleavage- Good for you! but please wear a pashmina or a shawl for the ceremony. Later you can unveil your fantastic beauty after the ceremony :) Gentleman, please wear formal attire that excludes wearing jeans or baggy pants.
No. Due to COVID-19 we have limited capacity in the venue and we have accounted for family and close friends to us, please don't have wedding crashers as that will exceed our food and space capacity. Please respond to the RSVP and let us know how many people in your party will be coming, and that number should not exceed the amount provided in the RSVP.
Each invite will be designated a head of household and their family, there will be a number which will indicate the number of seats saved for that party, you can decide who those people will be. In the online RSVP, it will indicate who is included in the family party for reference, but if some people can't attend and you want to use their spot, that is fine with us, just indicate it on the RSVP.
No. Please stay home if you are feeling sick, even if you don't think its COVID-19, just stay home, because we do not want our wedding day to be an exposure event for a virus because of downplaying a symptom. Please think of others and of our family when making that ultimate decision that could save people from potential sickness.
No. In the invitations we indicated the need to be vaccinated for individuals over 12 years old in order to attend the event, giving guests enough time to find a vaccination site and get vaccinated. I understand there are concerns related to personal choices and what not, and we respect Your Body, Your Choice, in which case please respect Our Wedding, Our Choice. No hard feelings though :) Please see this as the way we are protecting our close family and friends from being sick and nothing else. Thank you.
We appreciate the efforts taken to become vaccinated and we understand that scheduling the two weeks in between shots depend on availability. If you are not fully vaccinated but started with a first dose, then you are able to come.
If you are fully vaccinated, no need to wear a mask, if you are partially vaccinated is advised to wear a mas, but its up to you. However you are most comfortable.
