FAQs
Question
What is the date and time of the wedding?
Answer
Please arrive at Mountain Creek Resort (by the Red Tail Lodge) by 3:00 PM to park your car and get situated. If you're staying at The Appalachian Hotel, meet in the lobby at 3:15 PM to walk over as a group. Once at the gondola, we’ll walk you through the rest of the schedule and make sure you're in the right place at the right time!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! Since this is a wedding, we kindly ask that no one wear white—that's reserved for our beautiful bride. The bridal party will be wearing shades of pink and purple, so we ask that guests avoid those colors too. The groomsmen will be in navy blue suits. If you have other suit options, we’d appreciate you wearing a different color. But don’t worry—if navy is all you have, wear it proudly!
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
You can RSVP right here on the website—let us know if you're attending, your meal choice, and whether you’re staying at the hotel (optional, but we’d love to know!). Having trouble with the site? Text or call Loren at 917-868-7172 and she’ll help you out.
Question
Can I bring children?
Answer
As much as we love kids (and Loren would die to see them dressed up and dancing), this will be an adults-only celebration. Enjoy your night kid-free—you deserve it!
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
Only the people listed on your invitation and RSVP are invited. We had to keep our guest count intimate so we can celebrate meaningfully with everyone attending. We appreciate your understanding! Please reach out if you have questions on who's invited.

Question
Will there be vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options?
Answer
Absolutely! Just let us know about your dietary restrictions when you RSVP, and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of. No one will go hungry with us around - we love to eat, haha.
Question
Do you have a gift registry?
Answer
Yes—we have a registry on Amazon, but many gifts have already been bought (thank you, bridal shower crew!). If you'd like to give a gift, we’d appreciate you sending it to our home so we don’t have to transport it after the wedding (we’ll already have plenty of décor to haul!).
Question
Is the registry or cash preferred?
Answer
As we get ready for our honeymoon and continue decorating our home, we’d greatly appreciate cash gifts—but truly, your love and support are what matter most.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We’ll give everyone one chance to snap a photo of the couple—then we kindly ask that you put your phones away for an unplugged ceremony so our professional photos and video don’t have phones in the frame. Don't worry—we’ll share all the gorgeous footage!
Question
Can I take photos during the reception?
Answer
YES YES YES! Our bride loves photos—so walk right up and ask for one! Loren just asks that you share your photos with her afterward so she can relive all the memories.
Question
Who do I contact if I have questions?
Answer
We love our groom—but let’s be honest, he probably has the same questions you do 😉 For anything you need, please reach out to the bride: Loren Rapaport – 917-868-7172 Note: On the day of the wedding, Loren will be busy getting ready and won’t be able to answer calls or texts. Thank you for understanding!
