FAQs

Question

What exactly does "black tie" mean?

Answer

"Black tie" is a formal dress code that traditionally means tuxedos for men and formal gowns for women. It's an opportunity to dress up and celebrate in a sophisticated setting. Think of it as your chance to wear something you might not get to on an everyday basis!

Question

Can I wear a different color besides black?

Answer

Absolutely! While "black tie" refers to the formal dress code, you're welcome to wear colors beyond black. We’d love to see guests in rich jewel tones like emerald green or sapphire blue, or in classic neutrals like deep navy or burgundy. Just make sure your attire is formal in both style and fabric. P.S. – No white or red please

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00 PM. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to give yourself time to park and find your seat.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! Valet parking is available on-site at The Ritz.

Question

Are children invited to the wedding?

Answer

While we love your little ones, we have decided to have an adult-only celebration. We kindly ask for all attendees to be over the age of 18, and if you have children under the age of 18, we hope this allows you to enjoy a well-deserved night off to celebrate with us!

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate with all of our favorite people! Our guest list is limited to the names listed on your invitation. If your invitation includes “Guest,” a plus-one is welcome and encouraged. Otherwise, we kindly ask that you limit attendance to those specifically named. Thank you so much for understanding!
