FAQs
Question
Are children welcome at the wedding?
Answer
We love your kids...truly. But given limitations at the venue we cannot accommodate the tots. If you need childcare, please let us know. We can connect you with a few people that are trustworthy chaperones of children that can take care of them for the night.
Question
Will Birdie be there?
Answer
Maybe...perhaps...we are thinking on it. She's incredible but also chaos. But it's probable that she makes a cameo, as the center is of course named after her formal moniker of Lady Bird.
Question
What should we wear?
Answer
That Austin is so hot right now. Truly, it can be very hot at this time of the year. We would have opted for October but Formula One and multiple festivals swarm the city at this time and inflate hotel prices, so we will be celebrating in the warmth together. As mentioned, the wedding is cocktail attire. Please dress for heat and drink plenty of water!
Question
I have a food allergy, what should I do?
Answer
We have collected food allergies/intolerances as part of the RSVP process but if you haven't had the chance to provide this information please let us know. Our caterer is quite accommodating. For what it is worth most of the food will be gluten free.
Question
Will you serve vegan options?
Answer
Our food will be buffet style featuring chicken and beef with vegetarian friendly sides. If you would like to have a vegan meal please let us know no later than July 1st.
