When should I RSVP by?

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The attire for our wedding is Black Tie Optional. For ladies, think evening gown or midi cocktail dress (no white, please!). For men, think tuxedo or dark suit and tie; please do not feel obligated to rent or purchase a tuxedo if you do not have one. Our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will all be located indoors with air conditioning.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are are so excited to begin our lives together, and we can't wait to celebrate with you! Your presence at our wedding is the most meaningful gift we could receive, but if you feel compelled to offer a token of your congratulations, we would be most grateful for your contribution to our honeymoon fund. If there's one thing we love and value as a couple, it is our time together and the experiences we share. We have also registered for a few items at Bloomingdale's and Crate and Barrel.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We are only able to accommodate guests that are formally listed on your invite. If you received a plus one, your invite will read "and guest".

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your children! However, we kindly request that our wedding be an adults-only event. We hope you are able to let your hair down and enjoy a night out!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We ask that you arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the ceremony starting at 5:00 PM sharp. This will allow you time to mingle and find a seat before our ceremony begins!

The trolley will also make a return trip to The Graduate at the end of the night. The other hotels where we have blocks are within walking distance to the venue.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Junction 800 has ample parking. We do ask that if you enjoy alcohol at our wedding, you find an alternate way home. You can leave your vehicles overnight and pick them up from the venue on Sunday. Uber and Lyft are both available in Columbia, or you can find a hotel within walking distance!

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

We hope you will join us on Friday night for our welcome event! This event will be a cocktail party held at the Graduate Hotel starting at 8 pm. We would love the chance to say goodbye and thank you for coming to our wedding at our farewell brunch, also held at the Graduate Hotel from 10AM to 12PM on Sunday.

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