FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
We request that all RSVP's are submitted no later than February 1st, 2025. If we do not receive your RSVP by this time, we will assume you are not able to join in the festivities.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Your presence at our wedding is genuinely the best present we could ask for! If you wish to give us a gift, we've set up a honeymoon registry is lieu of a traditional registry. This "honeyfund" will allow us to share unforgettable experiences during our honeymoon, as well as provide us support in the next steps of starting our lives together.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Please arrive to the Desert Botanical Garden no later than 4:30pm. This will allow you time to find the ceremony location within the garden and grab your seat. Our wedding guests receive free admission for the entire day of our wedding, so we recommend arriving to the garden at least 2 hours before ceremony so you can enjoy the beauty of the desert! If you are from out of town, we highly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity! There will be no time to enjoy the garden after the ceremony.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Semi-formal. The bridal party will be wearing burnt orange and dark blue! The entire event is outdoors. March in Phoenix is typically sunny and sits in the high 60s/low 70s. We will not have heaters, so plan on bringing a light layer if you think you'll need it!
Question
Does my RSVP include plus ones?
Answer
Due to our tight budget and limited venue space, we unfortunately can’t afford for all of our lovely guests to bring additional loved ones. Plus ones and children are by invitation only and will be specified on your invitation. Thank you for your understanding!
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes! We will have a buffet-style dinner that will have accommodations for guests with the following dietary restrictions: gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan. Please specify any of these preferences on your RSVP.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes! Both the ceremony venue (Desert Botanical Garden) and reception venue (Tempe Social Hall) have free on-site parking.
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
No. Guests will need to provide their own transportation to/from the ceremony and reception venues. If you don't plan to drive yourself or carpool, we recommend utilizing a ride-share company (Uber, Lyft, or Waymo- the self-driving car!). All of these companies require you to download their app in order to use the service.
