FAQs
Question
How can I watch the livestream if I can't make it in person?
Answer
Because we are keeping the wedding small, as well as there being some people from out of town who can't be here, we are glad to be able to livestream the ceremony on zoom. Lori Curtis (she/her) is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. The ceremony will start at 12:00 Central Daylight Time on Sunday 5/18/25. I'm not able to include hyperlinks for websites here, so please copy the meeting link below & paste it into your browser window. You will probably also need to put in the passcode from below.

Question
Where can I find your gift registry?
Answer
We really don't need anything for the house at this time, so if you would like to give us a gift, we're asking for funds to help pay for our Alaskan cruise honeymoon. The registry link on this website has different options you can contribute toward by credit card. You can also Venmo me directly, @Lori-Curtis-46
Question
How should I dress for the wedding & reception?
Answer
Please dress comfortably for the weather, since both the wedding & reception are outside. Also, for the wedding, most people will be standing, so please wear comfortable shoes. Lori is wearing a hippie style purple dress, & Chris is wearing an olive green linen button-up shirt with jeans, so feel free to dress casual. And we would love it if you join us in wearing purple and/or green!
Question
Where do I park for the wedding?
Answer
There is a decent sized parking lot at the Botanical Garden, but in the event that is full, you can park in one of the overflow parking lots that are a couple blocks away, or any open street parking in the neighborhood. Please allow at least half an hour to park & get into the garden. Here is the website with a map of the parking - https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/plan-your-visit
Question
Do I have to pay to get into the Botanical Garden?
Answer
No, as a wedding guest you do not need to pay. Just tell the ticket takers you are there for the Curtis-Hatch wedding & you'll be able to get in. You can arrive any time after 11:00. Again, please allow plenty of time to get parked & walk through the garden to get to our site for the 12:00 ceremony.
Question
How do I get to the Boxwood Gazebo once I get inside the garden?
Answer
Please see the map of the Garden - https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/plan-your-visit/the-garden/map The Blanke Boxwood Garden is #28 on the map. From the entrance you'll pass the Climatron on your right. Follow the signs to Boxwood, it will be past the Chinese Garden & before the Japanese Garden.
Question
What can I do after the wedding ceremony, until it's time for the reception?
Answer
You are welcome to stay & enjoy the beauty of the Botanical Garden after the ceremony. We live about 15-20 minutes from the garden, so you should have a couple hours to spend.
Question
Tell me more about the reception?
Answer
Our address is 776 Reed Ave, St. Louis 63125. Please do not park in our driveway, but there should be plenty of street parking within our block. Come on back to the backyard when you get here. Please aim to arrive between 2:45-3:00. Things will not be set up before then, & we'll want to get started by 3:00 or shortly after. We will have plenty of food & drink (water, soda, wine), & just want to have time to casually socialize with everyone until we wrap things up around 6:00.
