FAQs

The Wedding Website of Rachel Rubendall and Jake Dobry
Question

HOW DO I RSVP?

Answer

You can RSVP anytime by clicking the RSVP tab above — it’s quick and easy!

Question

CAN WE BRING OUR KIDS?

Answer

As much as we adore your little ones, our venue is strictly 21+, so the celebration will be adults-only. We hope this gives you the perfect excuse to enjoy a fun weekend in New Orleans — eat, drink, dance, and let the good times roll!

Question

CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?

Answer

Due to the capacity of our venue, we’re keeping things intimate and are only able to accommodate the guests listed on each invitation. If a plus one has been included, you’ll see their name when you RSVP. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate together.

Question

IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

Answer

Yes! In true New Orleans fashion, our wedding will be Black Tie Optional. For further details, please head to the Dress Code tab at the top of the page!

Question

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE TO THE CEREMONY?

Answer

Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony begins. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:00 PM, so we recommend arriving by 3:30 PM to find your seat and enjoy a small toast before we get started. To keep the ceremony uninterrupted, entry will be paused once it begins. We’re so looking forward to sharing this special moment with you.

Question

CAN I TAKE PICTURES THROUGHOUT THE CEREMONY?

Answer

We’re having an unplugged ceremony and kindly ask that phones and cameras stay tucked away so everyone can be fully present. We’ve hired an amazing photographer and videographer to capture every moment — and we can’t wait to share it all with you! During cocktail hour and the reception, feel free to take as many photos and videos as your heart desires!

Question

IS THERE TRANSPORTATION TO THE RECEPTION?

Answer

All of the hotels listed on our site are within an 8–15 minute walk to the venue, making it easy to stroll through the French Quarter! If walking isn’t preferred, Uber or Lyft are great options — just a quick ride away. Please note that parking will be very limited, so we recommend skipping the car if you can.

Question

WILL THERE BE VEGETARIAN OPTIONS

Answer

Yes, indeed! We’re making sure there’s something tasty for everyone whether you’re vegetarian, have allergies, or just don’t vibe with seafood (we forgive you). When you RSVP, be sure to note any dietary restrictions so we can make sure you're well taken care of. This is New Orleans, so trust us no one’s leaving hungry.

Question

WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE?

Answer

Typically, November in New Orleans brings mild, comfortable weather — think daytime temps in the 70s and cooler evenings in the 50s–60s. We recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap, especially since parts of the celebration will take place outdoors. We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and share any updates closer to the big day!

Question

WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?

Answer

Yes! The drinks are on us — the hangover’s on you. Expect plenty of good pours, signature sips, and maybe a hurricane or two (the cocktail, of course… but pace yourself just in case). Cheers!
