Question

Is there a break between the ceremony and the reception?

Are cameras or video equipment allowed at the ceremony?

Answer

Absolutely—snap it, record it, share it! Our guests make our day so special, and we’d love for you to capture those moments. Please take as many pictures as you’d like and upload them to our online photo roll. Don’t forget to share shots of you reconnecting, raising a glass, and making memories together. If posting to social media platforms, please use our hashtag #TakingThomas so we don’t miss a thing!

Question

Will there be speeches, and who will be speaking?

Answer

Our reception MC will have an open floor for anyone who’d like to share a few words. We just ask that speeches stay under 5 minutes. If public speaking isn’t your thing, don’t worry—we’ll also have cards available for those who prefer to write their thoughts instead.
