Question
Are kids welcome?Are kids welcome?
Answer
Wedding: We absolutely love the little ones, and they are welcome to attend! During the ceremony, all small children (11 and under) who are not in the wedding party will need to stay in the designated children’s room. We will have two responsible young ladies supervising the kids so parents can enjoy the ceremony. To keep everything running smoothly, we do ask that children listen and follow directions while in the room. If a child is unable to participate safely or becomes too disruptive, we may need to bring them back to their parent and in that case, the parent will need to remain with their child for the rest of the ceremony (in the children's room). Reception: To allow our guests a relaxed evening of celebration, the formal dinner and dancing reception is reserved for guests aged 13 and over. For parents attending, a separate, supervised Children's Room will be provided at the venue. This room will offer age-appropriate activities, snacks, and a comfortable space for children under 13.

Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Since the doors close exactly at 4:00 PM, you should aim to be inside the building and finding your seat no later than 3:20 PM. To ensure a stress-free arrival, here is a suggested timeline: 3:00 PM: Arrive at the venue or parking area. This gives you a buffer for traffic, parking hurdles, or long walks from the lot. 3:10 PM: This leaves time for the "ceremony essentials": using the restroom, silencing your phone, and greeting any acquaintances. 3:20 PM: Most ceremonies begin a few minutes of "prelude" music or announcements; being seated now ensures you aren't the person rushing down the aisle while the processional is starting. Why Arrive Early? Since the doors will be locked at 4:00PM, there is zero margin for error. Even a minor delay like a slow elevator or a long walk from a parking garage could result in missing the event. Settling In: Arriving 20 minutes early allows you to choose a good seat and get comfortable so you can actually enjoy the start of the ceremony rather than catching your breath. Pro-Tip: Check the traffic via a map app about an hour before you plan to leave. If there’s unexpected construction or an accident, you’ll have plenty of time to adjust your departure.
