Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

There will be an open bar for wine and beer, cider, and seltzer. The only liquor served will be tequila.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes, free parking is available at the venue for everyone. A small golf cart will be on standby to assist guests with limited mobility to ceremony only. A shuttle will be provided to/from the hotel at the beginning and end of the night.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive sometime between 5:15pm and 5:45pm in order to provide ample time to find seating, etc. If you arrive early, you can use this time to peruse the gardens while listening to the string quartet that will be playing. This is encouraged, as it will allow more time for you to spend with Matt, Jessica, and loved ones during the wedding.

Question

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

Answer

Please reach out to Jessica or Matt directly as soon as possible to discuss any dietary restrictions. There is also space on the online RSVP form to indicate any dietary restrictions or allergies.

Question

Are children invited to the wedding?

Answer

With respect, we have chosen to make our wedding an adults-only occasion, with the exception of our nephew who will be present for the ceremony. We thank you for your understanding, and we hope this advanced notice means you are still able to join us on our big day!
