FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will be starting promptly at 3:00pm. Please plan to arrive to the venue by 2:30pm so there is time to mingle and find a seat. If you happen to be late, someone will be there to let you know if they are still allowing guests in or if you will need to wait until the ceremony is over. If that happens, you will still be able to attend the reception, so hang tight, and we will see you at the reception. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

The short answer: yes. We will have two 15 passenger vans shuttling to and from the venue and Hampton Inn from the time the ceremony ends to 11:00pm. Hampton Inn's check in time is 3pm (the same time as our ceremony). Please make arrangements to drive yourself to the ceremony and hotel once the ceremony is over. From there you can shuttle back to the venue in the time between the ceremony and reception. We DO NOT want anyone drinking and driving. We recommend using the transportation company we've hired to shuttle to and from the hotel accommodations and booking a room if you plan on drinking.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! There is complimentary guest parking at Pebble Creek Farm. If you have booked a hotel accommodation in nearby Farmington, we have hired a transportation company to shuttle to and from the venue beginning at 3:30pm. Please see the transportation FAQ for more information shuttles.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Please contact us directly if you have any food allergies. The current menu consists of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and salad.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We currently have a hotel block at the Hampton Inn in Farmington. There are a few other lodging options in the area along with a house for rent and small cottages at the venue itself. Please visit the Travel page on our website for more information

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Although we love your little ones, we regretfully cannot accommodate everyone's children at our wedding due to restricted numbers and space. This pertains to children of all ages including infants, toddlers, kids, and teens. Please refer to the 'RSVP' tab to see if we are able to accommodate your children. If we are unable to invite your children, we appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and hope that you will see this as an opportunity to let your hair down and enjoy the party with us.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless it is specifically indicated on your envelope. For example, your envelope would list "(your name) & Guest." For families, it will list "(your name) & Family" or "The (your last name) Family." When you go to RSVP, you will be able to see the exact number of people you can RSVP for.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The dress code is Cocktail Attire. This means that guests have the option of wearing cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, and dark jackets and slacks. No jeans, please! We also kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams. We would love to see our guests in warm, neutral colors complementary of the season.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are registered with multiple stores. Please visit our registry page if you'd like to bless us with a gift!

Question

How should I RSVP

Answer

To RSVP, click the 'RSVP' tab and type the name(s) listed on your envelope. Kindly RSVP before Saturday, August 31st. If you are unable to attend, we would appreciate you letting us know at the soonest opportunity. Any RSVPs received after this date will be marked as a 'no' as we will be sending final headcounts to vendors shortly after this deadline - you will be missed!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be held indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The plan is for the ceremony to be held outdoors, while the reception will be held indoors. An outdoor ceremony is weather permitting! If it rains, we will move the ceremony into the same space as the reception and guests will be seated where they would be for the reception.

Question

How does seating work?

Answer

The ceremony will be open seating, so sit wherever you please; however, please allow for family to have the first few aisles. For the reception, we will be carefully arranging tables so our guests are sat with those they know (or their plus one or partner).

Question

Can we take our own pictures & videos throughout the day?

Answer

Our ceremony will be unplugged. For this, we ask all phones and cameras to be put away and there to be no pictures or videos taken. You are more than welcome to take photos and videos throughout the course of the reception. This is such a special day for us, and we have the most amazing photography team documenting our entire day, that way you are able to take it all in, celebrate and be in the moment with us!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Following the ceremony, during cocktail hour we will have a cash bar. When the reception begins, we will move to open bar. We have an allotted amount paid to the bar. Once that has been exhausted, we will move back to the cash bar. The bar will take both cash and card as method of payment.
