FAQs

Question

What about children?

Answer

We're respectfully requesting this be a childless event. We want you to enjoy the event and focus on relaxing and helping us celebrate. We appreciate your understanding!

Question

What about COVID precautions?

Answer

We look forward to celebrating with fully vaccinated guests and highly encourage our guests to be fully vaccinated prior to celebrating with us. We do understand that may not be the case for some of our guests which we do respect without judgement. However, because we are responsible for the safety of ALL of our guests, including those who are vulnerable and may be immunocompromised, we will be asking for proof of vaccination, or alternatively, a negative Covid-19 test (within 72hrs of the wedding). We appreciate your understanding! We will have sanitizer strategically placed. We encourage and celebrate guests wearing masks within close quarters. Our venue, "Verde on Cherokee," is an open air patio and a greenhouse that has ventilation. The cocktail lounge area and bar will be the only indoor area and we will be attempting to ventilate these spaces as much as possible. We celebrate responsibly because nothing is more valuable than the lives, health and safety of those we love. Y-O-U.

Question

Can I bring a date or plus one? Can I bring someone not on the invite?

Answer

Our venue is small and has guest number restrictions. We had to make some very difficult decisions on who we could include and who we had to regretfully leave off our list; because of that we are asking that no one bring a plus one that was not explicitly listed on the invitation. Additionally, we are taking into consideration COVID and have tried to reduce our guest numbers as much as possible for the safety and health of all of our guests. We thank you for your understanding and patience.

Question

What kind of a crowd will this be? Can I be "myself"?

Answer

We are a couple that stands for equity, tolerance and love for all people. We condemn prejudice, discrimination, or inequality in all forms; with that being said - we WILL NOT tolerate ANY form of prejudice, bigotry, or hatefulness. We demand that all guests are respectful to each other and have a humble respect for all other guests especially those that may not appear or present in the standard societally accepted ways - this includes religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identification, or bodily form etc. If anyone's presence, words or actions at any time threaten or belittle the existence of others, i.e. harassment, loud political overtures that do not respect the existence and autonomy of others, inappropriate touching etc. - you'll be gone. Listen y'all... this is lesbian wedding, you're in the wrong place if you're carrying anything but open-minded love with you. We want to celebrate with YOU being YOU.

Question

What is the dress code? Is this casual or not?

Answer

We are being a little specific on the types of attire we'd like to have present at our event. We would like all guests to be in at minimum "business casual" or "cocktail attire." Go to this URL to get a guide of what this means: https://emilypost.com/advice/attire-guide-dress-codes-from-casual-to-white-tie/ Generally, this means NO: tennis/athletic shoes, t-shirts, jeans, hats. We're just trying to have a classy night with some swanky people.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We're registered right here on ZOLA. Just go to the tab on our website labeled "Registry." There's a plethora of gifts listed we'd love to have and cash donations toward the honeymoon fund is ALWAYS welcome. Here's the link our registry as well: www.zola.com/registry/sarahanddanielle

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

So here's the tricky part... It's really only street (parallel) parking anywhere near the Venue. We're in St. Louis City, actually only a few blocks from our home. Of course, if anyone has mobility issues you're welcome to drop off in front of the venue. Watch your step on the sidewalks.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Of course, please let us know if this is the case at least two weeks prior to the wedding. For the most part we (believe) we have taken into account any of your known dietary needs. We know some of you are gluten free etc. We can make sure we have something available for you - PLEASE just tell us in case there's something we are not privy to.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please let us know at the soonest opportunity if you can or cannot make it. A date for the formal invitation deadline is TBD.
