FAQs (COVID, etc)

Question

Are you requiring anything special with COVID?

Answer

Tabby's Response: Hey all, so there are a few things I want to mention, if you have more questions see the bullet point below this one or reach out to us. First: This virus has changed our daily lives, and it will definitely impact this wedding as well, however, the show must go on! We are going to do everything we can to make sure every guest feels comfortable on our big day. Unfortunately, it is not the larger wedding we envisioned surrounded by friends & family, but we had to work with NC restrictions. I hope that everyone can understand if people were unfortunately not invited, these are not normal circumstances for any bride. Secondly, we are going to ask that every person get tested the week prior to our wedding. If you find this annoying, or have been taking this virus lightly, please consider politely declining our invite and staying home. We have had many people impacted in our lives by this virus, and we don't want a single vulnerable person getting sick from celebrating us.

Question

How is this going to look with COVID-19?

Answer

Tabby's Response: Let me start by saying, I'd never wish planning a wedding around this horrible virus on anyone. That being said, safety is our largest concern for this day. Since pushing our wedding back was not something we could feasibly do, we are ensuring that this day will accommodate everyone's safety needs without compromising the meaning of the day. As of this moment, we will be complying with COVID-19 state guidelines which ask that guests wear masks when they are not seated and social distancing is not possible, it also forbids dancing (Like a damn scene from Footloose!). So our amazing venue has built an outdoor pergola to provide some safe boogey room. We will provide sanitization stations throughout the venue, as well as a few other social distancing compliant options. At the end of the day, we care about your health more than this day, and if you are uncomfortable attending the wedding, we completely understand, you will be missed but safety matters first.

Question

Why aren't my children invited?

Answer

We decided to make this a young adult, and adult only wedding. We are hoping to have a weekend of relaxation enjoying the natural beauty of the area, it was not an easy to decision to make but we decided we want every parent, family member, friend to truly be in the present moment enjoying our union with a carefree mindset. However, if you have kids please consider finding a way to bring them along on the vacation but finding a sitter for a few hours! This area is very family friendly and there is tons to do.

Question

Is there options for child care for the weekend?

Answer

On the website, Care.com you can find many local babysitters that you can reach out to, get to know, and ask about availability for the wedding.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, we would love to see you all dressed up and looking spiffy! No jeans, and t-shirts please. Grab a pair of khakis or nice dress pants!

Question

Can I take and post pictures on social media?

Answer

We are doing a strict no devices wedding ceremony, we want to see your faces not your cameras! While we do not care if you post pictures of the reception, or of you, your date, and your friends looking spiffy, we ask that you kindly do not post our special wedding moments on social media, afterall that's what we hired the professional for!

Question

How does the shuttle work?

Answer

We are working with an incredible transportation service trying to accommodate as many people as possible, there are cabins located all over the mountain. In order to do this, we recommend staying near other guests in small clusters on Beech Mountain, if you look at the photograph under the travel section you will see where the wedding party and families of the bride and groom are staying, since they will be on the itinerary you may want to consider something near them. If you have any more questions or concern ask us for help, remember don't drink and drive, the mountain is not forgiving!

Question

Is there parking available at the venue?

Answer

Yes, there are roughly 45+ spots available for parking right next to the venue. We are also looking into the possibility of getting a shuttle, or an Uber/Lyft code for the weekend. We encourage those who plan on imbibing to not plan on driving.

Question

I didn't get a plus one, can I bring a date?

Answer

Given the current status of COVID in NC, we are at maximum people we could invite for our wedding. Many of our close friends and family unfortunately were unable to be invited, given these odd times and circumstances we can hope you understand why you were not allotted a plus one. If you have any questions just reach out to one of us.

Question

I have special dietary requirements, who do I contact?

Answer

Y'all can send us an email or text if you have any dietary restrictions, allergies, or are vegan/vegetarian. We are working with an incredible caterer and will do our best to accommodate your needs.
