FAQs/Wedding Need-to-Knows

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our dress code is Black-Tie Optional! Think of Black-Tie Optional guest attire as a fusion between black-tie and formal fashion. You are encouraged to wear a tuxedo or a floor-length evening gown, but a dark suit with dress pants and nice loafers would be acceptable too. Similarly, a midi or knee-length cocktail dress would also be appropriate instead of a floor-length gown. Ladies, please do not wear short mini dresses/dresses that fall above the knee, as it does not adhere to the dress code. Gentlemen, please refrain from jeans or any casual style pants/shirts. Please keep in mind it will be in November, so check the weather accordingly as the ceremony will be outdoors as weather permits!

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Once formal invitations are sent out, there will be a QR code on the invite that is linked to the RSVP page of our wedding website.

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

All RSVPs are to be submitted by September 30th, 2023 to allow ample time for planning. Please understand, any guest RSVP’s not submitted by the given deadline will be listed as “unable to attend.” To keep stress for our wedding low, we do ask you RSVP on time. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!

Question

Should I avoid wearing anything specific?

Answer

We ask that all guests refrain from wearing dark green as it is the main color reserved for the bridal party. Additionally, please avoid wearing all white/mostly white as it is traditionally reserved for the bride. Please check our dress code for what type of attire to wear the day of!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unfortunately, due to budget and space limitations, we simply can't afford for all of our lovely guests to bring a guest of their own. Therefore, we ask our guests to please not bring a plus one, unless they are specifically named on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We love your little ones! However, we respectfully ask that unless your child's name is specified on your invitation that they are to please remain home. Think of it as an opportunity for a kids-free date night!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM. Please advise that our venue is in a fairly popular area and to expect to account for traffic on the weekend, especially since it close to Thanksgiving. Please plan accordingly! It is suggested that you arrive to the venue by 3:45 PM.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Our registry can be found on the “Registry” page! We are registered at Zola and Amazon. Both are linked directly to our website. We also would be grateful for any financial contributions that can be directed toward our honeymoon or new home together. We will have signs the day of the wedding for our honeymoon fund (Zelle or Venmo).

Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

For our bar, it will be a cash bar, not an open bar. You will be able to open a tab and keep a card on file throughout the night. We suggest you bring cash to help tip the bartenders for their amazing work!

Question

What do I do if I have a dietary restriction?

Answer

We will have a variety of options for food. If you have any severe allergies or dietary restrictions that we need to be aware of, please reach out and let us know so we can ensure you have a proper meal!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is a full lot available to guests for parking on premise. The venue coordinator and staff does help cart people to and from the parking lot to the front of the venue entrance and assist as needed. Please note that cars may not be left overnight at the venue.
