FAQs

Question

What time does dinner start?

Answer

Dinner will start at 8:00pm. We know that's a little late, but we wanted to give everyone the most time to wander the museum. Appetizers and the bar will be open before that, so there will be plenty of snacks to look forward to. :)

Question

What is the COVID Policy for your wedding?

Answer

We will follow federal and state COVID guidance. The venue does not require masks at this time, but we will let you know in the event that changes. We will have masks available for anyone who wants to wear one. If you are sick, have COVID symptoms, have COVID exposure without a negative test, or test positive for COVID, please stay home. We would love to see you, but we don't want to risk the health and safety of those in attendance to do so.

Question

Does the wedding have a theme?

Answer

If you have to look in the FAQ to ask this, you've lost the plot.... Yes! The theme of the night will be "Love Through the Geologic Ages", aka dinosaurs. :)

Question

Can I wear a dinosaur costume?

Answer

If you're asking this here, we probably already told you 'no' at least once.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our wedding will be a fun, semi-formal occasion. We'd love you to wear something that fits with our "Love Through the Geologic Ages" theme, but we understand that not everyone keeps T-Rex print ties in their closet. Most importantly - make sure you're comfortable! We encourage you to wear: -Fun print patterns -On theme accessories -Bow ties -Dresses or slacks Please do not wear: -Dinosaur costumes -Tuxedos -Jeans -Shorts

Question

Do i need to come early to see the museum exhibits?

Answer

No! We will have access to almost all of the museum. The touch tanks will be the only area not be available, so that we do not traumatize the animals. The exhibits will close at 8:00pm, so we highly recommend going to see them during cocktail hour.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be outdoors or indoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be outside, but the cocktail hour and reception will be inside the museum.

Question

Where should I park? Is parking free?

Answer

There is a large, free parking lot directly in front of the museum.

Question

Is the museum ADA accessible?

Answer

Absolutely! It would be a very bad museum indeed, if it were not accessible. There are wheelchair ramps, an elevator, and ADA accessible bathrooms.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes, but please make sure to let us know they are coming when you RSVP. They will be your responsibility in the museum - please don't let them damage the exhibits.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please ask us!

Question

Will I need to stay the night nearby? Where can I do that?

Answer

Most people will probably need to stay the night nearby, since the reception will end at 11pm. There are several hotels nearby, as well as Airbnb options. Check out the travel page of our site for more details.

Question

Will transportation be provided between to/from the hotel?

Answer

No. Some of the hotel options we provided do offer a shuttle service which will go to the venue and one of the hotels is within walking distance to the museum.

Answer

Yes! There will be a family style reception meal, where dishes will be served on large platters for each table to share.
