Q+A

Question

when do I need to rsvp by?

Answer

to help us with our planning, please RSVP to the events as soon as possible. however, the deadline is August 31, 2025. If we do not receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and will have to mark you as ‘not attending’. we do need to provide our venue with the total guest count in a timely manner and hope you can understand. ♡

Question

where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

Answer

the ceremony, and reception will both be held on-site at The Retreat on Charleston Peak. the ceremony will take place outdoors on the terrace, while the reception will be held inside.

Question

what should I do if I can’t make it?

Answer

we definitely understand, and you will be missed! if you cannot make it to the wedding, please RSVP “not attending.” if you cannot attend after you already RSVP’d yes, please let us know as soon as possible so that we may plan accordingly.

Question

is there a dress code?

Answer

we love to see our loved ones dress up with us! We are requesting cocktail attire (semi- formal) for our wedding. please no jeans, t-shirts, or flip flops.

Question

what will the weather be like?

Answer

since the wedding is taking place on a mountain, the weather can be as cold as thirty degrees, or as warm as seventy with a chance of dusting snow or wind. it may be a good idea to bring layers or a light jacket for the ceremony as it will take place on a terrace.

Question

can I bring a plus one?

Answer

if you received a plus one, your guests name will be listed on your invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP. Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding as an intimate event with our closest friends and family.

Question

are kids welcome?

Answer

we truly love your little ones, and we did try to accommodate as many of our cousins, nieces, and nephews as we could. the reality of it is, we have many large families (especially on my Samoan side) and our venue just isn’t able to accommodate everyone. we will include all children invited over the age of 4 on your invitation and under your name when you rsvp. all of your littles under the age of 4 are of course still welcome, they just won’t be included towards the final guest count.

Question

wedding registry?

Answer

your presence at our wedding is our gift! if you would like to gift us something, please see our registry tab here on our wedding website. If you would like to contribute the day of, we will have a card box at our reception. we deeply appreciate it! ♡
