FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! Our wedding will be a formal event. We would appreciate if guests came dressed in formal wear. Please wear something comfortable for dancing, including shoes. We will have a 15 piece swing band performing all night, so you’ll definitely want to be able to dance! No prior dancing experience necessary and all levels of skill welcome to the dance floor-we want to see your moves!

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

Although we love your little ones, our wedding is an adults only event. Exceptions are made only for first cousins and our flower girls! This will be outlined in your invitation, and you will only be allowed to RSVP for those listed on the invitation. Thank you for understanding.

Question

Where do I park?

Answer

The Gem Theater garage located behind the venue will provide free parking for guests attending the wedding. Please bring the parking pass that is enclosed in your invitation with you for entry to the garage. (if you forget it, don't panic! Just say you are there for the wedding and I'm told they will let you in. Most people going to a sports game or concert at the nearby stadiums likely won't be dressed as nice as you will be!)

Question

What if I have a food allergy or dietary restriction?

Answer

Please have anyone with a dietary restriction indicate which pertains to them by placing their initials next to their special request on the RSVP card. We will only be able to accommodate for a vegetarian meal option, a vegan meal option, gluten free, and a shellfish allergy option. Please note: everyone will be receiving chicken and shrimp on their plate. If you have a shellfish allergy, you will receive a double chicken serving. Just be aware that there will be shrimp on other plates in the room! The shrimp and vegan dishes are gluten free. If you indicate that you are gluten free, you will receive double shrimp unless you choose the vegan option. We are not able to accommodate a dairy or nut allergy option. As far as I am aware, there will be no nuts included in the dishes, but they are not prepared in a nut free kitchen.

Question
