We welcome all of our guests to please submit their favorite recipe (or 2!) that you are willing to share with us. We will be using these recipes for a special surprise. Please submit your recipes via the link below or email, no later than April 26, 2025. https://forms.gle/RwRh2SvMnnG47hdw7 jamesandlindsaywedding2025@gmail.com
The dress code for the wedding ceremony and reception is black-tie preferred. We request that guests wear a tuxedo, or, if you are unable to wear a tuxedo, to wear a dark suit. For those who are opting to wear dresses, full length dresses are preferred.
Unfortunately, children are not welcome as this is an adults only event.
Invitations are limited to those addressed on your invitation. Anyone who is not addressed on the invitation is not permitted at the event.
Transportation will be provided to the wedding from the Draftsman Hotel and the Hyatt Place Hotel, and will also be provided from the wedding back to the Draftsman and Hyatt Place at the conclusion of the reception. Those staying at alternative accommodations may receive a ride from the pickup locations at the Draftsman or Hyatt Place. For those who plan to arrange their own transportation, Early Mountain Vineyard has ample parking available, and Ubers and Lyfts are readily available in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas. Ambassador Limousine Company will be picking up everyone at the Draftsman hotel promptly at 4:45 p.m. The bus will be waiting at Stacy Hall, directly across Main Street from the Draftsman. There will be a bus picking up everyone at the Hyatt Place at 5:00 p.m. Please make sure to be at either pickup location prior to the pickup time to ensure that you do not miss the bus, as these are very strict departure times. There will be two shuttles taking guests back to the Draftsman or Hyatt Place at the conclusion of the reception. The early shuttle will take guests from the venue back to these hotels at 10:00 p.m. The late shuttle will depart from the venue to these hotels at midnight. Please make sure to be outside of the venue prior to these departure times to ensure that you do not miss the bus, as these are very strict departure times.
The ceremony begins at 6:30 p.m. Please make sure to arrive by 6:00 p.m. to ensure a prompt start time.
All wedding invitations will contain a RSVP card along with a return envelope. Please fill out the card and mail it back to the address provided.
All RSVP's must be received by April 26th, 2025.
While we love that you want to capture these special moments, we kindly request an unplugged ceremony.
