Question

DISCLAIMER

Answer

As you all know, Nik serves in the military. The occupation comes with a fair amount of unpredictability when attempting to plan in advance. Unfortunately, with the current events and Nik's particular job, there may be a chance that he could be asked to deploy before the wedding takes place. We strongly suggest that you purchase refund options along with your airline tickets and hotel reservations.

Question

Do I have to stay at the Embassy Suites hotel?

Answer

No. You are free to shop around and stay at a different hotel. However, this is the hotel that we have chosen to provide as our pick up/drop off location for the shuttle to/from the venue. A number of other guests have expressed interest in staying at the adjacent hotel, Springhill Suites. Both these hotels share a parking lot, therefore, the shuttle bus will accommodate guests at both locations. If you decide to stay at other hotels, you will have to find transportation to Embassy Suites to catch the shuttle as well as your return trip to your hotel of choice. Uber and Lyft are very reliable in the area and are well priced.

Question

How will I return to the hotel after the reception?

Answer

There will be a bus shuttle providing transportation back to the Embassy Suites. Departure times from the venue will be (early)9:00pm, (final)11:00pm. The travel time is approximately 40min back to the hotel. Please plan accordingly if you are an early-bird or have scheduled plans after the reception.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

Unfortunately due to space limitations, we are having an adults-only wedding. The only children attending are those who are part of our wedding party. Thank you for understanding.

Question

How will you get to the reception after the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony and reception are at the same venue. Bring your party hat.

Question

How will I get to the wedding?

Answer

The shuttle will leave at 4:00pm from Embassy Suites .

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.

Question

Local friends---Can I ride the shuttle bus?

Answer

Yes!!! The bus will depart from the Embassy Suites at 4:00 pm sharp. Come join the fun!

Question

Babysitters

Answer

We have had inquires regarding babysitter. Unfortunately, within our very small circle of friends here, we know of no one who could babysit during the wedding. And, quite honestly, neither Nik nor I want the responsibility of finding someone you would trust with your child.

Question

What if I miss the last 4pm bus to the venue?

Answer

If you miss the last provided transportation to the venue, you will have to find transportation to Painted Pony Vineyards. Uber and Lyft are very reliable in the area and are well priced. Venue address: Painted Pony Vineyards 286 Tideland Dr. Shannon, NC 28386 (910)-774-6063 -100 ft left onto Lake Dr -0.4 mi turn right onto Skibo Rd --2.2ml turn right onto raeford rd -4.4mi turn left onto Gillis Hill rd -2.3ml turn left onto Lindsay rd -0.4ml turn left onto Rockfish Rd -3.1 turn right onto N Fayetteville St -0.2mi keep left onto N Fayetteville St -5.1mi turn left onto Shannon rd -1.2mi turn right onto Tideland Dr -0.2-----Destination is on your right
