FAQs
Question
I got my save the date, now what?
Answer
If you think you are coming, please RSVP and book your accommodations ASAP! Our wedding is the same weekend as a fall festival, so we recommend reserving your spot as soon as you know you’ll be coming. Don’t worry, you don’t have to pay until you arrive in October!
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Dress code is cocktail. Think elegant but comfy ... and light layers to keep cozy as the temperatures dip. Please, no jeans! Opt for pretty flats or block heels (the ground might be soft or uneven), and don’t forget a chic jacket or shawl for those crisp October evenings. The bridesmaids will be wearing sage green so try not to match!
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by March 1, 2026.
Question
How soon do I need to book acommodations?
Answer
Whatever accommodations you choose, we recommend reserving your spot sooner rather than later. Our wedding will be on the same weekend as the Mount Airy Autumn Leaves Festival. Hotels and rentals could fill up, so don't wait to snag your spot!
Question
Can I bring a plus-one?
Answer
If your invite says "+1," then yes! If not, we love you solo.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
Yes! If your little ones are listed on your invite, they’re on the guest list. If not and you’re unsure, just reach out to the bride at petersandmaggie@gmail.com
Question
Is the Wedding outside?
Answer
Yes! The ceremony will take place outdoors in a beautiful wooded area, and the reception will be held in a covered porch. Since the wedding is in October, the weather could be crisp. But remember, we’re talking North Carolina crisp … not New Jersey crisp. We recommend dressing in light layers.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes! There’s plenty of parking on-site, and a friendly attendant will be there to show you where to go. No parallel parking required!
Question
Will there be a shuttle to the venue?
Answer
Nope! You’re in charge of getting yourself there, but we promise it’s worth the trip.
Question
What time should I get there?
Answer
Ceremony starts at 3 PM, so we recommend arriving at 2:30 PM to find parking and your seat. Show up fashionably early, not fashionably late ... or risk the walk of shame to your seat.
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
We’ve rounded up the best spots nearby! Check out the "Travel" tab for all the details.
Question
What is the weather going to be like?
Answer
It’s outdoors, so fingers crossed for sunshine. Bring a layer, just in case Mother Nature has opinions.
Question
Will there be food and drinks?
Answer
Yes, and plenty of it. Come for the love, stay for the pizza and booze.
Question
Will there be dancing?
Answer
Oh yes. Bring your best moves. Or your worst. We accept all levels of rhythm.
Question
Is the ceremony and reception in the same place?
Answer
Yep, no need to GPS-hop. One spot, one party, all night.
Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
We'd love your attention, not your phone screen. Please unplug during the "I do's". You can go full paparazzi at the reception!
Question
What time does the reception end?
Answer
When the speaker dies or we do, whichever comes first. (Realistically, at 10 PM.)
Question
Are you registered somewhere?
Answer
Your presence is the present. But if you're feeling generous, check the "Registry" tab.

What if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?
Answer
Let us know on your RSVP. We want everyone to eat, drink, and survive the night!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We’ll be serving beer and wine. Cheers to that!
Question
I have extra time in Mount Airy, What is there to do?
Answer
Mount Airy, the real-life Mayberry, is full of charm! Explore Main Street’s shops, visit the Andy Griffith Museum, or enjoy the great outdoors at nearby Pilot Mountain State Park. There’s plenty to keep you entertained before or after the wedding!
