FAQs
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We can only accommodate those identified formally by name on your invitation. We are hoping to keep our wedding intimate and special for all present and have limited space for guests. If you are permitted to an unnamed date, it will be clearly indicated on your invitation.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We are requesting our guests join us in wearing formal cocktail attire. For example, this includes formal gowns, semi-formal cocktail dresses, pantsuits, dress pants with a dress shirt and sport coat, a full suit and dress shirt, and similarly formal but comfortable footwear. Please refrain from wearing jeans, cargo pants, khakis, t-shirts, shorts, flip-flops, leggings, athletic wear, neon colors, or any similar causal attire.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your kids and can't wait to spend time with them, our wedding will be an adult event. Unless your children's names are formally listed on your invitation, we are asking that you refrain from bringing them and hope this will serve as a well-deserved parents' night out!
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes, we have hotel blocks reserved at the following hotels: SpringHill Suites Easton- https://www.marriott.com/events/start.mi?id=1712166972199&key=GRP Aloft Columbus Easton- https://www.marriott.com/events/start.mi?id=1712153609846&key=GRP Both are at Easton Town Center in Columbus and will have shuttles available to the ceremony. The hotel blocks will fill up quickly, so we recommend booking your accommodations early to guarantee the discounted guest rate. Please book directly at the links above, or make sure to note you are seeking a room in the Pugh-DeRoos Wedding block if booking by phone.
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
Yes, there will be shuttle busses leaving from the guest hotels at Easton. If you intend on drinking and do not have a designated driver, we recommend ubering to Easton or parking your cars there and taking the shuttles to the reception even if you do not plan on staying at the hotel blocks. Ubers are not accessible in Centerburg and you cannot leave your car at the venue over night, so please be responsible and plan accordingly. If you plan to Uber home, you will need to do so from Easton.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Yes! We are registered on the Zola website, and you can find our registry on our wedding home page. As those who know us know, we do not need or greatly value material things as much as we do experiences! So please do not hesitate to contribute to one of the funds available on our registry in lieu of a traditional gift.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The exact time of the ceremony will be updated soon once we finalize our schedule! We recommend all guests plan to appear 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony to mingle and ensure you have time to find your seat.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
We will offer a vegetarian option. If you require additional accommodation due to an allergy, please contact Sam and let her know as soon as you receive your invitation with RSVP details. We will do our best to accommodate, though it will not be possible for all requests.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes, there is on-site parking at the venue. However, if you plan to drink during the reception please ensure you have a designated driver or consider either Ubering to Easton or leaving your car there and taking the shuttle bus to the ceremony from one of the designated guest hotels. Ubers are not accessible from Centerburg, so if you plan to Uber home you will need to do so from Easton.
Question
Is there an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We will serve a variety of beer, cider, and wine from an open bar. Alcohol service will begin directly following the ceremony and continue until 10:00 pm.
Question
Is the wedding outside?
Answer
Partially— our ceremony will be in a covered veranda, but it is technically an outdoor space. Please plan accordingly if it’s chilly. Our cocktail hour will also be outside in a courtyard, but there will be patio heaters provided if weather requires. The reception will be indoors.
