FAQs
Question
Can I bring a +1?
Answer
We kindly ask that you only bring the guests listed on your invitation. Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate additional guests beyond those to whom the invitation was specifically addressed. If a plus one has been extended to you, your invitation will read “{Your Name} & Guest.” Additionally, the number of seats reserved in your honor will be indicated on the back of your RSVP card. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us celebrate this special day with our closest loved ones.
Question
Are children allowed?
Answer
We love and adore your little ones, but we have decided to keep our day child-free. This is with the exception of the few who are in our wedding. We encourage you to use this night as a night out as they will not be allowed. We appreciate you making prior arrangements to celebrate with us!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We kindly request that our guests dress In ALL BLACK formal or cocktail attire. (White shirts with suits are okay.) Please no polos, jeans, khakis, shorts, crocs, hey dudes, or flip flops.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
We’ll be offering complimentary beer and wine all evening for guests 21 and over. If you prefer mixed drinks or liquor, those will be available for purchase at the bar with cash. We kindly ask that you drink responsibly and plan ahead for your ride home. As the venue is in a rural area, rideshare services like Uber or Lyft are not available. If you decide to leave your vehicle at the venue overnight, please make sure to pick it up by 9:00 AM the following morning.
Question
Venue policies to know!
Answer
We love a good time, but our venue has strict rules: no outside alcohol or drugs (yes, that includes weed). If you bring any, security will kindly escort you out… and not in a cool, VIP way. Let’s keep the party going the right way: on the dance floor, not the parking lot!
Question
Can I take pictures?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged ceremony" (no phones or cameras). We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and we promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 pm. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the ceremony to give yourself plenty of time to park and find your seat.
Question
What if I can’t make it?
Answer
You will definitely be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate "Will NOT Attend" on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you've already RSVP’d “Attending” but your plans change, please let Katie know as soon as possible at 260-417-4001. This helps us stay organized and make the necessary adjustments.
Question
What if I don’t RSVP in time?
Answer
We kindly ask that all RSVPs be submitted by September 19th. If we haven’t heard from you by then, we’ll have to mark you as not attending. As much as we’d love to celebrate with everyone, we’re required to give our vendors a final headcount and won’t be able to accommodate late responses. That means we won’t be able to offer seating, food, or drinks to anyone who hasn't RSVP’d on time. Thanks so much for understanding and helping us keep everything running smoothly!
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! However, if you’d like to bless us with something extra, we’ve made it easy to find all of our registries right here on our wedding website. For those who prefer a more traditional option, we’ll also have a card box available at the reception.
Question
Who to contact for questions during wedding week or the big day?
Answer
Bride’s off duty! Please direct all questions to literally anyone else. Thank you!
