If your peanuts were invited, we indicated that on your invitation! We're excited to share the dance floor with them! Although they will be missed, we completely understand if you'd like a kid-free night out! Please let us know via our online RSVP.

Question

Am I able to bring a guest?

Answer

Due to venue capacity, we are only able to accommodate those specifically listed on your invitation.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Semi-formal attire is encouraged. Because of the proximity of our wedding to New Years Eve, we'd love it if all guests went all-out with their fancy outfits! It's a perfect excuse to dress up! Think dresses and suits!

Question

What's the best way to RSVP? What is the deadline to RSVP?

Answer

To make it easy, we ask that all guests RSVP on our wedding website. There you will be able to RSVP for each member of your family or add a name of your guest if we were able to accommodate a date for you. *We ask that all guests RSVP by December 1st to ensure we make appropriate adjustments with our vendors.*

What should I do if I can’t make it?

Answer

You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible & RSVP “no” on our website so we can plan accordingly!

Question

What time should I arrive at The Winslow?

Answer

While the official wedding ceremony start time is at 6:00 pm sharp, we encourage all gusts to arrive 30 minutes before. This will ensure we can begin on time & start the party quickly!

Question

What type of food and drink will be served during the cocktail hour and reception?

Answer

This is what we are most excited about! We will be serving an array of passed hors d'oeuvres, as well as a few surprises during cocktail hour. During the reception we will have a salad, as well as two food options & encourage you to try both! At the end of the night, we will have a few snacks for you. During the entirety of the cocktail hour & reception, we will have an open bar with plenty of soft drinks, beer, wine, & liquor options.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony to post on social media?

Answer

We ask that all guests join us in an unplugged ceremony. We'd appreciate if all guests could leave their phones in their pockets & purses during the ceremony to remain present & allow our photographer to do what he does best! If you'd like to take pictures during the cocktail hour & reception and post them to social media, feel free!

Question

What's the best way to contact you if I have additional questions?

Answer

Feel free to email us at risingers2022@gmail.com or call/text Alaina or Sam directly.

Question

Is there a hotel block? Where can we stay?

Answer

Because most of our friends and family are local, we opted to not organize a hotel block. There are many options for lodging close to the venue! We have added a few close options to the 'Travel' page of our website.
