FAQs
Question
What's the best way to get to the venue?
Answer
We recommend using Google Maps instead of Apple Maps to get to the venue. Apple Maps leads you to the back of the property and it is really difficult to turn yourself around as the roads are rather narrow out there, but is a lengthy detour otherwise.
Question
How do I confirm my plans to attend?
Answer
There is an "RSVP" page on the menu bar for this site. Once there, enter your name and your RSVP details-- as well as everyone else in your household-- should appear. You will be able to confirm the rest of your party's RSVP status on the page that prompts you to enter your email, just scroll down a bit and you will be able to manage your guests and confirm their attendance. If you are unable to find the RSVP page on this site, try visiting https://www.zola.com/wedding/stephenandnicoleaugust13/rsvp directly. If you are still unable to RSVP, please get in touch with the bride or groom at (713) 417-3996 (N) or (832) 341-9281 (S) to register manually.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Check your RSVP to see if you're allowed a guest. If other guests are included in your listing, you may bring a plus one. If you would like to bring any guests beyond what has been allotted for you, please ask the couple first.
Question
Can I bring my kid(s)?
Answer
If they are included in your RSVP, sure. Please use your best judgement when deciding whether or not to bring them-- it is a long event, there is a lake at our venue, and there likely will not be too many kid-specific activities. Parties with unattended or rowdy children will be asked to leave.
Question
Do you have a wedding registry?
Answer
We have decided to do a cash registry for our wedding to help fund our honeymoon expenses and any excess will be saved for a down payment on our first home.
Question
Are there ways to contribute to the cash fund outside of this website?
Answer
Absolutely! We will happily accept cash or checks, and will even have a box for cards and cash/checks located on top of the piano in the bar room for physical gifts the day of the wedding. We also plan to have our bank account's Zelle QR code readily available if you'd like to send us a gift directly!
Question
Is it OK if I don't make a contribution to the cash registry?
Answer
While donations are welcome (and needed), your presence at the wedding is most important to us. Please don't skip the wedding if you can't contribute. You can always give us a heartfelt card expressing your well wishes.
Question
What is the deadline to RSVP?
Answer
Please RSVP by July 15th, 2023.
Question
Will the ceremony be held outside or inside?
Answer
Save for an act of divine intervention where the temperature outside is not scorching, the wedding will almost assuredly be held inside.
Question
Will there be assigned seating at the wedding?
Answer
Absolutely! By taking the time to be thoughtful about where everyone should sit, we hope to provide a more joyful & meaningful experience for everyone. Once all RSVPs have been received and guests are locked in, we will add a seating chart tab to this site and message everyone the link once that is available. We will also have a physical chart at the event.
Question
How early should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive 15-30 minutes early to be seated on time.
Question
Is parking available at the venue?
Answer
There is plenty of parking available for free at the venue.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We will be serving beer, wine and a few specialty drinks.
Question
Will Barley or Simon be attending?
Answer
Unfortunately, our fur babies can't make it as they have other arrangements for the day, but they send their regards.
