Question

Wait, aren’t you already married?

Answer

Yes! We eloped in Austin, TX in September 2023 while we were still settling in to new jobs and new cities. It was an intimate and lovely ceremony, and now we’re ready to celebrate our marriage with friends and family. We appreciate your patience and are so excited to see you all!

Question

What are your pronouns?

Answer

Thanks for asking! Sophia’s pronouns are she/her/hers (for example, “She is very excited to celebrate her marriage to Robin.”) and Robin’s pronouns are they/them/theirs (for example, “They are very in love with their wife, Sophia.”). If you have questions about gender-neutral pronouns, Sophia would be happy to send you some resources. Thank you for respecting who we are — on our special day, and every day!

Question

Where is the celebration?

Answer

Heights Brewing in Farmington, MI. We’ve watched Shawn and Ryan Kavanagh (Sophia’s aunt and uncle) turn this dream into a reality over the past 3+ years, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have our special day here. So many of our special moments have happened in Downtown Farmington, it only felt right for this one to be here too. Not to mention, the food is better than Austin BBQ (and we’ve had a lot of Austin BBQ), and everything Ryan brews is delicious. We highly recommend checking them out when we’re not shutting them down for a wedding!

Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

Yes! Heights Brewing offers a range of beers, ciders and seltzers, all made in-house. They also have a mind-blowing root beer for our NA guests.

Question

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

Answer

The entire food menu is gluten free and nut free, with gluten free beverages available. For more information, please contact Heights Brewing on Facebook.

Question

Is there parking for the celebration?

Answer

Yes! Heights Brewing has a large shared parking lot behind the restaurant. There is also street parking throughout Downtown Farmington and several other free parking lots within walking distance.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal/brewery-chic. Think cocktail dresses, suits or whatever fits your style. The celebration will be inside Heights Brewing, but we’ll be elevating the space with romantic decor for our big day.

Question

Are young children welcome?

Answer

Respectfully, no. The celebration will take place in a brewery with limited space and no changing rooms for the littlest ones. We appreciate your understanding.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Since we’re traveling out of state for the wedding, we’ve opted for a honeypot in lieu of physical gifts. Thank you for contributing to our celebration!

Question

When should I R S V P by?

Answer

Please let us know your plans by Saturday, August 3.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If that is indicated on your invite, yes! If that is not indicated on your invite, no! We’ve taken care to invite the family and friends closest to us and cannot accommodate extra guests in this intimate space.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We have reserved a block of rooms at Courtyard Detroit-Farmington Hills. Please use the link in the “Travel” section below to reserve your room at a discounted rate by August 20. There are also two other nearby hotels off Farmington Road and I-696 (a Residence Inn and a Holiday Inn), though we can’t guarantee availability there. All three of these hotels are 3 miles away from the wedding venue (about an 8 minute drive).
