FAQs

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says "Guest" or is addressed to your significant other then yes they are welcome! If not, we'd prefer that it is just you. Please reach out to Melissa or Ben if you have any questions about this.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Unfortunately, our wedding will be an adults only event, with the exception of our flower girls. Please reach to Melissa or Ben with any questions.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, formal wear. Dark suiting is preferred for men, and long or cocktail dresses are preferred for women. The ceremony location is in a grassy area, so keep in mind, stilettos are not ideal.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please aim to be at the ceremony location 15 minutes early. Ceremony begins at 4:45PM.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Please see the Travel page of our website for hotel block information. If you'd prefer to stay in an Airbnb, here is a list of Airbnbs in the downtown Charlottesville area that may meet your needs: https://tinyurl.com/MFBMWedding

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, please ensure to park in the overflow/event parking lot, NOT in the parking lot in front of the gift shop. Our ceremony site, cocktail hour site, and reception site are all adjacent to one another, so there will be no need to move your vehicle between events.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes, we have hired Easy Riders, a group transportation company, to transport our guests to and from downtown Charlottesville. Easy Riders will pickup our guests from the Home2 Suites Charlottesville Downtown hotel parking lot at 3:40 PM and the Omni bus stop off W Water St at 3:50 PM. There will be two return shuttles from The Market at Grelen, leaving at approximately 9 PM and 11 PM.
