FAQs

Question

What Covid precautions will be implemented at your wedding?

Answer

Great question! Even though the state of Texas is allowed to operate at 100% capacity, we are fortunate that both of our venues are still operating at 50%. Masks are still required at our church, and every other pew will be left empty in an attempt to best social distance. Masks are also required at the reception when you are not in the actual reception room (i.e. going to the bathroom) and when you are interacting with the venue staff (i.e. getting food or ordering a drink at the bar). Hand sanitizer will also be provided at the reception. By June, all adults in Texas, as well as most states, will be eligible for the vaccine. We HIGHLY encourage you to consider getting at least one dose of the vaccine before the wedding.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your kids! But we would love for this to be your night off! With the exception of family and children in the ceremony, we'd love it if this event was adults only! If you are really strapped, please contact the bride and groom. We'd be happy to accommodate you the best we can!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says "and guest", then please do! If it does not, then we'd rather celebrate our day with just you! Our venue does not have the capacity to hold more than invited. So while we'd love to meet your person, we want to give them our undivided attention in their own time and celebrate our day with those closest to us.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Dress to impress. Breakout your semi-formal/cocktail attire. Look amazing. Hopefully, our special day is an excuse to get all dressed up! We want you to be comfortable though, so if those high heels are uncomfortable or that top button too tight, feel free to let it all hang loose! Suggestions for Ladies: Dresses, formal pantsuits, etc. Suggestions for Men: Suit and tie, Sports coat with dress pants, etc.

Question

Is your ceremony a religious ceremony?

Answer

Yes! We are getting married in the Catholic church! However, we are not having a full mass. Catholic weddings typically involve longer ceremonies, but we have shortened the ceremony to be about 30-45 minutes given the evening start time. We understand that we have a later start time, so we want to be as accommodating as possible.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We suggest between 6:30 pm and 6:45 pm for a 7:00 start time

Question

How should I get from the hotel to the church? How should I get from the church to the reception?

Answer

The addresses for the church and the reception are under our Events tab on our website, as well as will be provided in the welcome baskets in your hotel room.

Question

Can I take pictures and/or post pictures of your wedding on social media?

Answer

It is really important to us that you are completely present with us during our special day! While we love that you want to capture moments with us, we please ask that during the ceremony, you keep your cell phones off and put away. I promise our photographer will be capturing the moment for everyone. However, during the reception, feel free to post on social media and take pictures! Please feel free to use our wedding hashtag at #rightupdansallie

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Question

I received my Save the Date. Can I go ahead and RSVP prior to receiving my formal invitation?

Answer

Question

Question

Will there be vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free food options served?

Answer

Question

What will transportation be like?

Answer

We will provide many options for transportation! There will be car rental information in the travel section of our website. There will be free parking at the church, and there will be valet parking at the reception. We will also be providing Uber discount codes that you are free to use throughout the weekend. There is a Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) station near the reception venue and the rehearsal dinner venue if you are interested. The DART is a GREAT budget-friendly way to get around downtown if you are interested in exploring before the wedding. We will provide a DART map and schedule for you in your hotel room!

Question

Will there be a bar?

Answer

Duh.

Question

I still have questions. What's the best way to contact you?
