FAQs

Question

Are children Invited?

Answer

No, we're sorry but our ceremony and reception is an adults only event. We love your children - we really do, but due to venue restrictions, we can only accommodate for so many people to attend. Thank you for understanding and we very much hope you will still be able to celebrate with us!

Question

Is there a hotel block?

Answer

Yes, at the Hilton Auburn Hills Suites. Please book your room as soon as possible to take advantage of the group rates. Please book through the website link provided or by calling the hotel and referencing the Matevia-Folas wedding. Please be aware that the hotel is accommodating five other wedding blocks that day and anticipates that all rooms in the hotel will be booked by the beginning of May. Please book your rooms as soon as possible.

Question

Is there any transportation available for guests to/ from the wedding?

Answer

Yes, those who book a room at the hotel can sign up for shuttle rides that will be set up at pre-determined pick-up/ drop off times. When booking your room/ upon check-in please make sure you are signed up to get a ride on one of the shuttles. We also booked a shuttle with the company D & D Executive Transportation. This company will only be providing shuttle service later in the evening during the reception. Any guest can utilize this shuttle to get them back to the hotel, even if they are not hotel guests.

Question

What if I want to just rely on an Uber or call a taxi to get home?

Answer

Please do not rely on doing this. We were warned by our wedding venue that Ubers and Taxis never show up to pick guests up from the venue due to the location being "out of the way". Please make sure you have another way home if this was your plan or please utilize one of the shuttles we have booked for your convenience.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Please dress in formal or semi-formal attire. Ladies, please be aware that we are planning on having an outdoor ceremony/ reception (dinner inside) weather permitting and there will be times that you will need to walk on grass, brick pavers and go up and down stairs...so choose your shoes wisely - spike heels should be worn at your own risk!!

Question

What if I have a dietary restriction?

Answer

This isn't a problem! Please contact us and we will pass it along to the venue. If you can't get a hold of Nick or Shannon, any parent can get the message to us.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

If your invitation says "guest" then you may. Due to venue restrictions, we can only accommodate for so many people to attend. We hope to see you there!

Question

Will we be inside or outside?

Answer

The ceremony will be outside by the gazebo. Cocktail hour will be located outside towards the back of the venue (there is also a bar inside). We will begin our reception inside with dinner. Once dinner and dessert are over, we will head back outside for a fun night under the stars! *If the weather does not permit, all events will be held inside the venue.*
