FAQs
Question
Can I bring a plus-one?
Answer
The venue has a limited number of people allowed. We have done our very best to include everyone that we wish to have at our wedding. Due to the limited seating, please refer to your invitation for who can come in your party. We will only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.
Question
Do you have a dress code?
Answer
While we don't fancy a strict dress code of certain colors or apparel, we do want you to use this night to play a bit of dress-up! Go for style and for comfort. Ladies, no white dresses please! Men, leave the basketball shorts and t-shirts at home!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Our wedding will be alcohol-free. In contract with the venue, neither us, nor our guests, can bring alcohol onto the premises. Please also refrain from 'pre-gaming', as we do wish to have a sober wedding and reception.
Question
What should we expect for food?
Answer
At the reception, we will have several different food options and it will be done buffet-style. We are timing it to serve as your dinner, around 5:00pm. We highly suggest having a satiating lunch before the wedding, and bring a couple snacks for the kiddos (or you!) if need be. * If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know with your RSVP so that we can do our very best to make sure that there will be something safe for everyone to eat.
Question
Can I take pictures and video during the wedding?
Answer
During our ceremony, it is our request that nobody have their phones in hand. We will have a photographer who will capture all the photos that we need. Our guests will also be in the shots of some photos during the ceremony and we really want to see you guys experiencing our wedding without a phone between us. Once we are at the reception, feel free to take as many personal photos and videos as your heart desires. * If you wish not to be photographed, we suggest you sit on the outskirts of the rows at the ceremony, as the center aisle will be the most photographed.
Question
When can I post the photos I take to social media?
Answer
We would love to see all of your pictures and videos, as it would be an insight to your perspective of our wedding day. Feel free to post photos of your families whenever you see fit, but we ask that you please refrain from posting any photos of the Bride and Groom until we get our photos back from our photographer to share for everyone to see. Use our hashtag #OverjoyedOlivos ! * If there are any concerns about you or your children being posted online, please contact the Bride or Groom and we will do our best to monitor what is posted by us, the photographer, and all other guests.
Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
We will not have a typical wedding registry; thankfully we don't need much to begin our new home and life together! In lieu of a registry gift, we are welcoming donations for our Honeymoon! At our reception we will have a box labeled "Honeymoon Fund" where you can drop either cash, checks, or gift cards into. Thank you in advance!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
YES! We love your children and will be so thrilled to have them there with us to celebrate our day. If you personally wish to have a kid-free night, we understand and that is perfectly fine with us too. You deserve it!
