FAQs

The Wedding Website of Javen Smith and Michael Waddell
Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 3:30pm. Please arrive 15-30 minutes early to allow yourself to find parking and get seated.

Question

Where should I sit?

Answer

At the ceremony, seats reserved for the bride’s and groom’s families will be marked with “Reserved” signs. All other seating is open, so feel free to sit wherever you’re comfortable. At the reception, family tables will also be marked with “Reserved” signs. All other tables are open for you to choose from — sit wherever you'd like!

Question

Will there be parking?

Answer

Yes! The venue will have on-site parking.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We’re going for a semi-formal vibe. Think dress pants, button-ups, dresses, jumpsuits, dress shoes, or nice sandals—whatever feels comfortable but still polished. Please no sneakers, jeans, shorts, or t-shirts. It may be on the cooler side, so we recommend bringing a jacket, wrap, or other layer to stay comfortable throughout the day. Our wedding colors are soft pinks, natural greens, and neutrals, if you'd like to coordinate. We do kindly ask that you avoid wearing ivory, white, or burgundy.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your children, but we are planning for an adults-only (18+) celebration. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those listed on the invitations.

Question

Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outdoors, and the reception will be outdoor covered. Please check the weather and plan accordingly!

Question

Am I allowed to take photos?

Answer

We kindly ask our guests to put their phones away during the ceremony, as we are having an unplugged event. However, during the reception, feel free to take all the photos you'd like!

Question

Will there be food and drinks?

Answer

Yes! We’ll be serving a buffet-style meal along with a variety of non-alcoholic beverages. Beer, wine, and our signature his-and-hers cocktails will be available at the bar—expertly crafted by our bartender. During cocktail hour, enjoy a grazing table with light bites, and be sure to save room for the dessert table later in the evening!
