Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code is Semi Formal/Garden attire. While our venue is air-conditioned, please note that the cocktail hour will take place outdoors. We recommend choosing something elegant yet breathable to stay comfortable in the warm weather. Lightweight fabrics and summer-friendly styles are perfect!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

You can RSVP right here on our website by July 7, 2025.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony begins promptly at 4:00 PM. We kindly ask that you arrive at least 15–20 minutes early to allow time for seating. Please also keep in mind that this is a church ceremony, and late arrivals may cause a disruption. Since our wedding falls on a weekday, there may be heavier traffic around that time—planning ahead will help ensure you arrive on time. Your punctuality means a lot to us!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Absolutely! Children are a special part of our lives, and we’re so happy to have them be part of our celebration. We can’t imagine our day without them!

Question

Can I bring a +1?

Answer

We truly wish we could celebrate with everyone, but we're keeping the guest list small and intimate with just our closest family and friends. We hope you understand and know how much we appreciate your presence on this special day.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, parking is available at both the ceremony and reception venues. Signs and attendants will help guide you once you arrive at the reception venue.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

While we’d love to provide transportation for everyone, we’re unfortunately unable to offer shuttle service. We recommend coordinating with your hotel or using a rideshare app to ensure a smooth and timely arrival. Thank you for understanding!

Question

What time does the reception end?

Answer

The reception will conclude around 10:30–11:00 PM. We hope you can stay and celebrate with us until the very end!

Question

Will the event be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors, ensuring a comfortable environment. However, please note that the cocktail hour will take place outdoors, so be sure to dress accordingly!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that no photos be taken during the ceremony, as we have a professional photographer capturing these special moments. We want everyone to be fully present, and we appreciate your understanding!

Question

Can I send my gift to your home instead of bringing it to the wedding?

Answer

We kindly ask that you bring your gift to the wedding, as we won’t be able to accommodate gift deliveries to our home beforehand. We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We’ve created a registry section on our website with all the details! Feel free to browse and choose from the items we’ve selected to help us start our new life together.
