Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
We’d love to celebrate with everyone, but due to our venue’s limited capacity, we’re only able to accommodate a set number of guests. If you’re invited to bring a guest, you’ll see their name listed on your invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
Question
Is the ceremony unplugged?
Answer
Yes! We kindly ask guests to fully enjoy the moment by not using phones or cameras during the ceremony. We have an amazing professional photographer and videographer capturing every special memory, so you can relax and be present with us.
Question
Can I easily get a ride from the venue back to my accommodations nearby?
Answer
Lake Anna is a beautiful, somewhat rural area—which means ride share services like Uber and Lyft can be unpredictable. While they are technically available, it’s not uncommon for wait times to be long, especially later in the evening. Here’s what we recommend: - Designate a driver if you're traveling with a group. - Pre-schedule a ride with Lyft (available in the app) or book a local car service ahead of time. - Don’t count on hailing a ride last-minute—you’ll be better off planning ahead to make sure you get home smoothly and safely.
