FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Suits & Gowns: Even though this wedding is black tie, we fully understand that renting a tux is not ideal for everyone, and therefore suits are perfectly fine for gentlemen. We ask that ladies please wear a gown. We would also prefer if guests could stay in the color scheme of navy, black, and dark gray. We ask that all guests refrain from wearing gold, silver, beige, tan, cream, white, and ivory.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We are thrilled you may have also found the one! However, unless your invitation included a plus one, please do not bring an uninvited date. The reception will include a sit-down dinner, and all guests will have assigned seating, and we would hate to make unplanned guests uncomfortable.

Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

The wedding and reception are child-free. We kindly ask that you do not bring your children as this is a black-tie event for adults only with an unattended pool area.

Question

How do I RSVP

Answer

All wedding invitations will be accompanied with an RSVP card, which is stamped and has our mailing address preset, however if you loose your copy, no worries because you can also RSVP on the website.

Question

Can I go inside the house during the reception?

Answer

The Lugo residence typically carries an 'open door' policy, but for the reception, we ask that NO GUEST enter the house. There will be staff members working diligently to make dinner, drinks, and desserts. Please help us avoid mishaps or interference in the behind-the-scenes magic and enjoy the party outside.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We kindly ask that you keep your phone turned off and away during the ceremony. We also ask that you do not have your phone out during speeches as we would love to catch your candid reactions without a phone covering your stunning face!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or out?

Answer

The ceremony will be indoors. The reception will be outside, but there will be shading covering all guests.

Question

Can I request music?

Answer

We will have a DJ who has a set list of music to play during dinner and speeches, however once the dance floor opens up, guests will be allowed to request music. We only ask that your song of choice be something a majority of people know and can enjoy along with you.

Question

Will transportation be provided between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

There will not be transportation provided between the ceremony and reception, however we encourage guests to carpool, Uber, or Lyft.

Question

Where can I park?

Answer

There will be a valet service, free of charge, tips welcomed.

Question

What if I cannot drive home?

Answer

We ask that all our guests drink responsibly, and make arrangements accordingly. However if the cocktails sneak up on you, we ask that you leave your vehicle in the parking area overnight and Uber or Lyft safely home. The vehicles will not be watched overnight, but they are welcome to stay parked in the neighborhood and be retrieved in the morning.
