FAQs

The Wedding Website of Mariah Parker and Malachi Hays
Hopefully, this section answers all questions dealing with our special day.
Question

Are children allowed at the wedding ceremony?

Answer

Yes, children are allowed at the ceremony.

Question

Will you all have a registry?

Answer

We are accepting monetary gifts due to the bride having to move after the wedding. They will purchase what they need at a later time. Although we are not against actual gifts, just preferably monetary. Take a look at the Registry page on the website and feel free to send money to the cash app that will be specifically set up for their wedding monetary gifts or you can do it the old fashion way and give cash in a card. :)

Question

Is the reception open to the public?

Answer

No it is not. The reception is invite only. A list will be at the door for the people who RSVP for it.

Question

If you are invited to the reception and do not RSVP, what will happen?

Answer

We STRONGLY suggest you RSVP because that determines who gets put on the list. If you do NOT RSVP, your name will not be on the list which will result in no entrance.

Question

Are children allowed at the reception?

Answer

No they are not. The only children allowed are the ones in the wedding party. In order to be invited to the reception, they have to be personally invited.(Please don't ask because we already picked those few) Typically no young children outside of the wedding party will be there. Consider that a kid free night on us! LOL So get your baby sitters ready!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

No. Most people that are invited, if we know of a plus one, it's already added to the invite on the website. No one outside of the names on the invite please :)

Question

If the plus one on our invite decides to not come or doesn't want to come, can we replace them with somebody else?

Answer

No...We hand picked everyone who we wanted to share our special day with us. If they are not able to make it, that's that.

Question

Will there be other food choices for people with a seafood allergy?

Answer

Yes there will. Most likely, chicken!

Question

Why isn't the reception details posted on the website?

Answer

The couple decided to have a private reception which means the location of the reception is TOP SECRET ;)

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes. BUT please make sure you at least tip the lovely bartenders serving you straight fye from the bar top! lol

Question

Why is the reception private?

Answer

The couple made the decision to have close family and loved ones surrounding them to help them close out the night. They both have extremely big families and unfortunately, everyone could not be invited due to the number of people allowed in the venue. IF they could invite everyone, they would. Please understand and respect the couple's wishes.

Question

If I RSVP that I will be in attendance and then something comes up and I can't make it, what do I need to do?

Answer

Whether you were invited by the bride or groom, we would just appreciate a text. Of course, that day will be hectic but we will see it eventually once everything calms down.

Question

Is this wedding unplugged?

Answer

No it is not. BUT we do ask to make sure that you are not in the way of the videographer or photographers.

Question

If invited to the reception & someone we know is not, can they know the location of the reception?

Answer

Knowing is not the issue. Showing up when the invite was not extended is. AGAIN, there will be a list at the door with names of people who were invited AND did RSVP. Those will be the only ones allowed in.

Question

Are masks required at the wedding & reception?

Answer

YES! For your safety & ours :)

Question

What are the wedding colors?

Answer

Cinderella blue(baby blue), lavender, & silver

Question

What is the attire for the wedding & do the guests have to wear certain colors?

Answer

Formal or Semi formal attire. We ask that you absolutely do NOT wear WHITE! That’s it :)

For all the days along the way
