FAQs
Question
Are Sarah and Michael already married?
Answer
We were married March 29, 2024. We had an intimate ceremony with fifteen people. While we enjoyed this magical day, it is important to us that we are able to celebrate this occasion with all of our loved ones.
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
There is parking all around Churchill Downs. People will be trying to charge you to park in their yards, but we recommend you avoid this and park in an official Churchill Downs lot. You will be heading to Starting Gate Suites, and we would recommend the black or green section of parking.
Question
Will there be horse racing?
Answer
Yes! We are so excited to be hosting our reception on a day where there will be racing. The first race will occur at 12:45 pm. The gates of Churchill Downs will open at 11:30, and our guests will be welcomed into Starting Gate Suites at 12:00. We will have private wagering stations for you to place your winning bets.
Question
Will there be food?
Answer
Yes! We will have a buffet available to all guests. The buffet will be served from 11-2.
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
When you put your name in the RSVP section of the website, all guests that have been invited with your party will be listed.
Question
Do I have to attend for the full day of racing?
Answer
No. You are more than welcome to come and go as you please throughout the day. If you are only available for one hour, we would still love to see you!
Question
Will I have to stay in Starting Gate Suites all day?
Answer
No. Your ticket will allow you access to Starting Gate Suites, but it will also allow you full access to all of Churchill Downs. There have been many recent additions and renovations that we encourage you to check out!
Question
I submitted my RSVP, now what?
Answer
Once you RSVP, we will send your tickets in the mail (this is a recent change due to construction in Churchill Downs). If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to reach out to us by text or email at myresbuchanan24@gmail.com.
