We've tried to answer as many important questions here as we've thought possible. If you are still needing answers, please feel free to email us at joiningmontano2020@gmail.com. As our date gets closer, we will provide direct contact info for further guidance. Love and hugs to all! S + J
Question

What are the latest COVID-19 requirements and updates as it pertains to this event?

Answer

[Update 9/24/2020] Our venue is operating at 50% capacity and thankfully our RSVP count and expected guests is well below this! With this in mind, we still encourage you to brink a mask and will still be prepared with plenty of hand sanitizer. Masks during our outdoor ceremony are not required (as it would be in a church) but are recommended. In order to keep you (and your food) safest you can expect a buffet style dinner with screen barriers. We hope this information helps! [Update 7/14/2020] Your health and safety is important to us so we encourage all guests to bring a mask. We will have hand sanitizer available at various locations, tables will be properly distanced, and our wait staff will be instructed to take proper safety precautions based on the industry directives. We continue to monitor the situation and will know more once our event date gets closer. Please be sure to check back here routinely for added COVID-19 updates.

Question

Can I bring kids to the wedding?

Answer

Yes! We love children, and our special day wouldn’t be the same without our own nieces and nephews who hold large pieces of hearts. Your children have been included in your RSVP count; please include them if they will be joining us.

Question

Can I bring a +1?

Answer

We have taken into account the number of seats to be reserved for our family members, friends, and all those who have been extended an invitation. Your RSVP card will note this.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

September 1, 2020

Question

Do I have to mail back my RSVP or can I RSVP online?

Answer

Whichever works for you. RSVPs via our wedding website are for easy access and in case you lose your RSVP card. You can RSVP under the "RSVP" tab. We have decided to allow guests to RSVP to both “Wedding Ceremony” and “Reception” separately since we realize some may want to limit themselves to one event/location due to COVID. Be sure to RSVP to either or both! *you can write a little note on your RSVP card if mailing in, if this is the case* No matter how you RSVP, we kindly ask that you do so as soon as possible after receiving your invitation as this will help us in our planning.

Question

Where is the ceremony?

Answer

Our church ceremony location has CHANGED! Due to COVID-19, we have chosen to move our ceremony outdoors at the civic center. This will allow better airflow and space between guests. Your health and safety matters to us, and so does your presence on this special day.

Question

Where is the reception?

Answer

The reception (and celebration/dance) will be held indoors at Sgtt. Willie De Leon Civic Center in Uvalde, TX.

Question

Have you reserved hotel room blocks?

Answer

Yes. Room blocks have been reserved at three (3) different hotels in Uvalde for your convenience. Please reference the 'Travel' tab for these details.

Question

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the hotel?

Answer

Unfortunately there will NOT be. If you are traveling alone, please drink responsibly. Don't drink and drive! Hotels are only a few minutes away.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Semi-casual attire

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

As of today (Thursday, September 24th) it looks like the day will be beautiful. Let's pray it stays that way!

Question

Where do we park?

Answer

There is a parking lot to the left of the civic center right across from Walgreens. This is the main parking.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony/post on social media?

Answer

We are kindly asking our guests to be mindful and respectful of our photographers/videographers that have been hired for this very special day. It's important to us that the best moments are experienced and captured without interruption. With that said, try your best to refrain from phone pictures.

Question

What happens between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Cocktail hour will begin at 4:30 PM. This will allow the couple, wedding party, and close family members enough time to take photos and join guests at the venue to begin the reception.

Question

Are guests allowed to bring their own alcohol into the venue?

Answer

YES! Guests are allowed to bring in liquor and wine bottles, though they MUST stay on/at the tables at all times. Beer cans (not bottles) are allowed. All per venue policy.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

An official wedding registry has been created at Target, Amazon, and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Zola (our website publisher) makes it extremely easy to access and purchase not only ALL items on the official registries but also additional items the bride and groom have linked. Head over to the 'Registry' tab to view.

Question
