FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony and reception are black-tie preferred. For men: a tuxedo or a dark suit, with a tie, is preferred. Please refrain from wearing any kind of jeans, plaid shirts, hats, and boots. For women: A formal evening gown, a cocktail dress, or dressy separates are great! There is no color scheme you have to follow, but it goes without saying to not wear white, ivory, or cream colors.

Question

Do I need to bring cash for the bar?

Answer

Drinks are on us, headaches are on you! Please bring cash to tip your bartenders throughout the evening.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your RSVP online/invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we will only be able to accommodate those named on the RSVP.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We hope you understand that our wedding day will be kid-free. Children are only invited if named on your invitation/online RSVP. Thank you for being respectful of our wishes.

Question

What can I expect for transportation?

Answer

We recommend driving to our ceremony in Stoughton, then to your hotel in Janesville for check-in/bag drop off before Cocktail Hour. If you'd like, we recommend you leave your vehicle at the hotel, and Uber/Lyft to the reception. With the venue being downtown Janesville, there will be plenty of driving services available at a reasonable cost. If you prefer to drive for your convenience, there is a parking lot right next to our venue, where your car can be left overnight.

Question

Are there any colors I should or shouldn't wear?

Answer

There is no wedding palette or color scheme to follow. With our wedding being in the Summer we want everyone to feel comfortable in their favorite color. Our wedding party will be dressed in black, but don't let that stop you from wearing it, we encourage you to wear the color you're most confident in. We kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony will be indoors, and our cocktail hour/reception venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces. Dinner and dancing will be indoors. There is a lovely patio that will be available the entire evening to enjoy some fresh air!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We want you to take pictures and share our special day on social media. However, during our ceremony, we would love everyone to be present and remain unplugged from their mobile devices, and we prefer no cell-phone use in the church. We have hired a phenomenal photographer and videographer and want them to capture the moment.
