FAQs

The Wedding Website of Demitrius Skrapates and Emma DeLong
Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive by 3:45pm at the latest!

Question

Will there be open bar?

Answer

Yes, we are offering an open bar for reception guests, which will be available until a certain limit is reached. Once the limit is reached, the bar will accept cash and card.

Question

Is there a rain plan?

Answer

Yes, the ceremony will be held at the Knights of Columbus rather than the Bradley House in case of inclement weather. Public parking is available nearby.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

If "and guest" or your plus-one's name is written on your wedding invitation, you may bring a guest. Because of limited venue space, we unfortunately can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on the wedding invitation.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

We would love to have your children present, but due to cost, we are unable to accommodate any children at our wedding ceremony or reception.

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

The requested dress code is Semi-Formal to Formal. The ceremony will be outside in July, so please dress accordingly! The ceremony will be a reasonable length, bearing the heat in mind. See the home page for reference. Ladies, please don't wear white.

Question

Will there be a shuttle to and from the hotel?

Answer

Yes, shuttle service will be provided. A shuttle will transport guests from the hotel to the ceremony, and then from the ceremony to the reception for cocktail hour. Later in the evening, the shuttle will run at scheduled intervals from the reception back to the hotel after dinner.

Question

How do you pronounce "Skrapates"?

Answer

skruh/PAT/iss

Question

Where can I park for the reception?

Answer

There is plenty of public parking around the Knights of Columbus in downtown Kankakee. Across the street is the Kankakee County Courthouse. Per the courthouse website, "Street parking is allowed on streets surrounding the courthouse. Parking lots (are) located at the south of the courthouse on Merchant Street." A few blocks northeast of the Knights of Columbus, you'll find the Kankakee Public Library. You can park in the library's main lot on Merchant Street or across the street in the Farmers' Market Lot.
