Question

What is a "Black Tie Wedding"?

Answer

Black tie is a formal dress code for evening events, requiring men to wear tuxedos (or suits) and women to wear floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses. We suggest wearing something that is appropriate, elegant, and comfortable!

Question

What kind of colors can I wear?

Answer

For the ladies, we recommend wearing dark colors, as well as some gold accents. For the gentlemen, we recommend wearing a black tuxedo or black suit. All guests are kindly asked to wear DARK colors for the wedding.

Question

Is there anything we are not allowed (to wear)?

Answer

We ask that no one wears any sneakers, jeans, or unprofessional attire. Ladies, out of respect for the bride, do not wear any white or cream colors.

Question

Can I request a room at the Mendenhall Inn?

Answer

You are more than welcome to get a room at the Inn, and stay in a similar area as our other guests. However, please book your rooms as soon as possible, due to limited space. When ordering a room on the website, enter our room code M91RI9S3 under the spot of "Group ID".

Question

Can I still drink at the wedding?

Answer

This is a dry wedding, so alcohol will not be provided, just soft drinks. However, if the guests would like to, there is a bar/restaurant attached to the hotel, at the front of the property. Guests would need to walk outside of the ballroom towards the front of the building, order your drink, and then join us when you get back!

Question

Can I bring my child?

Answer

We kindly ask for all parents to enjoy the night out and leave the kiddies at home. As much as we love children, we want to have this night be enjoyed by adults only.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to our wedding size limit, we cannot permit any extra people to be added to the party. Only the invitees that are on the invitation are permitted to attend the ceremony and reception.

Question

What is the parking situation like at the venue?

Answer

There is plenty of parking at the venue location! We ask that invitees park in the back, which is the closest to the Grand Ballroom.
