FAQs
Question
7:00pm ?!?!?
Answer
Since Cactus & Tropicals is a garden store by day, they host weddings in the evening. Doors will open for guests at 7:00 PM, so feel free to grab dinner or explore nearby until then!
Question
What Should I Wear?
Answer
Honestly, wear whatever makes you feel your best! Dress up, dress down — we don’t care, as long as you’re there! If you do feel like dressing up - think Garden Party Chic
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
Our ceremony space is cozy and serene — perfect for “I do’s,” but not ideal for tiny voices! We kindly ask that children under 10 join us later for the party at the reception, where all ages are welcome to celebrate with us.

Will Dinner Be Served?
Answer
We won’t be having a formal sit-down dinner, but there will be plenty of delicious food available throughout the reception!

Answer

Question
What’s the weather typically like this time of year?

The party will wrap up around 11:00pm, but we hope you’ll dance the night away with us until then!

Question
What time should guests arrive?
Answer
Guests may arrive starting at 7:00 PM. Since our venue operates as a storefront during the day, doors will open for the celebration at 7:00 PM — we can’t wait to welcome you then!
Question
Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Our ceremony will take place indoors in the greenhouse. Please note that the space can become warm throughout the evening, particularly during the reception. Outdoor areas will be available for guests who’d like to step out for a moment, and we suggest bringing a light layer for comfort.
Question
Can we post photos online?
Answer
We would love for you to share photos from our special day! It means so much to see the celebration through your eyes. We’re also partnering with JamBooks to create a keepsake filled with your photos and messages. Simply text your pictures, memories, and well wishes to the number provided at the wedding — they’ll all be gathered into a beautiful book for us to treasure forever.
