Question

What type of food will be served at your wedding? Should I have a snack beforehand?

Answer

In lieu of a formal sit-down meal, a self-serve buffet will be offered, including BBQ and some hearty sides. We recommend having lunch or a snack beforehand, as the reception does not begin until 5pm.

Question

What time will your wedding reception end? Is there an after-party?

Answer

Our reception space is booked until roughly 11:00pm. Guests are welcome to join us for the afterparty next door at FitzGerald's Sidebar (cash bar).

Question

Will there be a time gap between your wedding ceremony and reception?

Answer

There will be a small gap (about 1 hour) between the ceremony and reception, to allow for parking etc. The ceremony and reception venues are about a 2 minute drive from each other.

Question

Are photos allowed during the ceremony/reception?

Answer

Our ceremony will be unplugged (no photos please). However for the reception, feel free to snap away to capture the fun of our special day. A QR code will be provided for guests to upload any photos instantly through POV, a shared photo app.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Once formal invitations are sent (around early July), we kindly request that guests RSVP no later than 8/15 so we can have an accurate final head count.

Question

Will you be reserving a hotel block for out-of-town guests?

Answer

We will not be reserving a block as there aren't many options in the immediate area, but we do encourage guests to look into booking through Airbnb or Vrbo. There are also a few nearby hotel options listed in the 'Accommodations' section of our website.

Question

What time should I arrive to the reception?

Answer

5-10 minutes prior is sufficient, to allow time to find parking.

Question

What about dietary restrictions?

Answer

We'll know our final menu selections closer to the date, but our goal is to provide a variety of options including vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. Keep checking back for more updates!

Question

Who do I contact if I have more questions?

Answer

More details will become available as we get closer to the date, but if you think of questions, feel free to reach out to Elisa at 618-525-1655.
