FAQs

Question

RSVP’s are closed! Thank you so much for your responses.

Question

Will I get a Save The Date in the mail?

Answer

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Though we’d love to see your children, due to the limited capacity of our venue, we are only able to extend an invitation to guests 21+. We hope that with this notice, you will be able to make arrangements and attend our wedding.

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

Answer

It will be notated on your official invitation if you are invited to bring a plus one. Due to limited capacity we cannot provide plus one's for all guests.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The dress code is semi formal. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. Jeans and sneakers are not permitted. Please note, white is not an acceptable color to wear.

Question

Can I wear white?

Answer

Absolutely not! If you show up in white you may be asked to leave or may be given a ridiculous outfit to wear over your apparel. So choose wisely! ;)

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The wedding ceremony and reception will be indoors. For cocktail hour there will be space both inside and outside.

Question

Is the ceremony and reception in the same location?

Answer

Yes. We will be doing the ceremony and reception at the same venue. During the cocktail hour the ceremony space will be flipped for the reception and guests will be able to enjoy cocktail hour both downstairs (indoors) or outside.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

No. The two hotels we have room blocks at are directly across the street from the venue (.1 miles). However, there are parking spaces closer to the venue as well as a wheelchair accessible entrance for those who need it. The venue is also walking distance to a MARTA station if anyone prefers to book at a different hotel and use public transportation.

Question

Have you reserved hotel blocks?

Answer

Yes! We have hotel blocks at two nearby hotels. Please see our travel page for information on how to book at either of those. Please note, the sooner you book your rooms the better as they can fill up.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We would rather you be early than late! Generally we would say allow at least 15 minutes before the ceremony to get upstairs, say hi to people, and get seated in time. There is also an elevator for those who prefer not to take the stairs.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Of course! We aren't monsters! ;) We'll have a variety of beer, wine, bubbly, cocktails, and of course...bourbon.

Question

What is the weather like in the area?

Answer

In early October the weather is normally in the 60's-70's in Atlanta so it can still be pretty warm! Layers are always a good idea.

Question

What type of food will be at the wedding?

Answer

We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a buffet for dinner.

Question

What do I do if I have a dietary restriction or food allergy?

Answer

Please let us know on your RSVP if you have any food allergies as well as if you have any dietary requirements. We will let our caterer know so we can accommodate. (Examples: Nut allergy, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc)
