Question
WHEN DO I NEED TO RSVP BY?
Answer
We kindly request that you RSVP by September 19, 2024. If you do not RSVP by the given date, you will be marked as "not attending". We would love celebrating with you, however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVPs.
Question
WHAT IF I CANNOT 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 have already RSVP'd "Attending", but find that you will not be able to make it, please notify me (Chelsea) as soon as you are aware.
Question
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 3:00PM. We recommend arriving at least 30 - 45 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow for parking, grabbing a drink and finding a seat!
Question
CAN I BRING A DATE/CHILDREN?
Answer
We love and adore your little ones, however, we decided to keep our ceremony and reception an adults-only event with the exception of some immediate family. Unfortunately, we also have limited space, so we can only accommodate those formally listed on your invitation. Thank you for understanding and hope you will still celebrate with us!
Question
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
Answer
Comfort Encouraged: Our celebration will be Dressy Casual to Casual. The ceremony, weather permitting, will be outdoors while the reception will be held under a tent/outdoors. With Virginia Beach weather, you never know, so I would recommend bringing something warm for later in the evening.
Question
WHERE SHOULD I PARK?
Answer
There will be parking across the street at the The Carpenter's House International Church. We will have signs and people directing you where to park. We will have rides to and from the parking lot to drive you across the main road and down the long driveway. If at all possible carpooling is encouraged. Uber/Lyft/etc. is also encouraged since it is further out there and curvy roads.
Question
WHAT KIND OF BAR?
Answer
There will be an open bar stocked with beer and wine. If you would like to bring your own liquor for yourself, we will have mixers available such as juice, sodas and water. We will also have non alcoholic drinks such as tea, juices, sodas, water.
