FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We would love to see our friends and family dressed up with us! Our dress code is black tie optional, no whites, please. Women can wear floor length or midi formal dresses. Men can wear suits or dress pants with a dress shirt.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! The drinks are on us but the hangover is on you - so get ready to party! Please arrange transportation from the venue if you plan on drinking. We want all our loved ones to make it back safely!

Question

When do I have to RSVP by?

Answer

We ask that you please RSVP no later than October 18th, 2025. Unfortunately, if you do not meet this deadline we will be unable to accommodate you as we need to provide our venue with the exact guest count.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

We ask that you arrive no later than 3:30pm as our ceremony will start promptly at 4:00pm. This will allow you to find parking and ensure you are seated on time.

Question

Where can I stay for the night?

Answer

We thank you for traveling to celebrate with us! We have blocked off rooms at the Double Tree by Hilton located at 42 Century Dr, Bristol, CT 06010 for you to book! Call and mention "the Grimaldi/Steele wedding" or enter online "GSW” under special rates to book under our room blocks! The cut off date to book at our discounted rate is October 2nd, 2025.

Question

Can I bring a plus one or my children?

Answer

Due to limited space we are unable to accommodate guests that are not formally listed on your wedding invitation. If you receive a plus one, there will be a place to share your guests name when you RSVP. If you did not receive a plus one we ask you respect our wishes as we are trying to keep our special day as intimate as possible. As much as we love your little ones we are having an adult only ceremony and reception. We encourage you to use this evening as a “night out” for yourself!

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

Yes! Please take all the pictures during the reception but please be respectful of our photographers and videographer. We have also arranged for you to use the "POV" app on your phones to take pictures throughout the night! Scan the QR codes located around the reception to join in on the fun. We can't wait to look back on all the photos the day after the wedding!
