Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Ideally, we would like to know at least 1 month before the wedding. If you miss this deadline, you will not be allowed into the wedding.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

At least 30 minutes before the ceremony begins. All dates and times are listed on invitations.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are asking guests to please consider donating to our Honeymoon Fund - found on this website. You are welcome to donate on this website OR to bring cash/cards to the wedding. NOTE: There will not be a set up for gifts at the wedding - other than for cards/cash. This is intentional as we would prefer honeymoon donations.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please refer to your invitation. If your invitation indicates that you are allowed a guest(s), then yes. If it does not indicate a guest, then no. Please contact bride and groom for more information.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

If your invitation indicates a section for children, then YES. However all parents must keep an eye on their children at all times. Also, guests do not need to "tone themselves down" simply because a child is present. If you choose to bring your children, then they may witness drunk and wild adults. If you are not comfortable with this, do not bring your children.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes. Please review the wedding website for more information!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes - please let bride and groom know as soon as possible. You are welcome to include a note in your invitation if for some reason we do not have a section for you to fill that out.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes. The Marott has plenty of space for guests to park and it is completely free.

Question

Do I have to sit on any particular side during the ceremony?

Answer

Please sit anywhere you'd like during the ceremony except the first row as this is reserved for close family.

Question

Are cell phones allowed during the ceremony?

Answer

No - please silence and/or turn off cell phones during the ceremony so that they do not block the path of the photographer. After the ceremony ends? Have fun taking as many pictures and videos as you would like!

Question

Will the reception have assigned seats?

Answer

Yes - please read our seating chart (there will be posters with this information at the wedding). Do not attempt to move seats as each guest has specific dietary needs.

Question

Can I give a speech?

Answer

During dinner, the DJ will announce when guests will be allowed to come up to the microphone and say a few words. Emphasis on "FEW" as we do not want long-winded stories and speeches. Please say a few words and then let the next guest speak.

Question

When does the wedding reception end?

Answer

The last drinks will be served at 9:20 and everyone needs to be leaving the building by 9:45-10:00 PM.

Question

What type of music will be played at the reception?

Answer

Absolutely NO country music will be allowed at the wedding. This means if a guest approaches the DJ and requests a country song, he will immediately turn your request down. No means no. The bride and groom have curated a playlist based on their own personal tastes (a mix of rap, hip-hop, R&B, pop, indie, and more). We hope you enjoy.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes. We still recommend bringing a few dollars to tip our wonderful staff - but that is entirely up to you!
