Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Question

When should I RSVP by? How do I RSVP?

Answer

Please see the date on the RSVP card provided in your invitation suite. For those that can, we ask that you use our website to RSVP. We provided return envelopes for all guests that may have trouble navigating the RSVP section of our website to return their physical RSVP cards. If you received a physical RSVP card and returned it, you do not need to fill out anything on our website, we will take care of that part for you!

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

We aren't typically dressy people, and we know our families aren't either. Our dress code will be cocktail attire/semi-formal. For men, this would mean a suit, slacks, or khakis with a dress shirt. Tie optional. For women, this could be dress separates or cocktail style dresses. We just ask for no all-white dresses and no jeans.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

Please see our accommodation section about parking options. There are handicapped spots available near the venue. Please reach out to a wedding party member or our day-of coordinator Ashley or her team if you have any concerns.

Question

I have mobility concerns, how will I get to the 3rd floor of the building?

Answer

There is a small elevator that fits 4-5 guests at a time that our guests with mobility issues are more than welcome to use. There is a ramp going up the side of the building into the area right in front of the elevator, which will be marked. We ask that all guests be patient as they make their way to the reception venue after the wedding. If you have any specific concerns about accessing the venue space, please reach out to a wedding party member or our day-of coordinator Ashley or her team.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Because of venue limitations, our wedding is RSVP only. We will only be able to celebrate with you and those listed on your invitation. Your invitation will show a plus one if you were given one.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

Due to venue space limitations and the serving of alcohol at the event, we kindly ask that you do not bring your children unless they are noted on your invitation. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the bridal party prior to the RSVP deadline.

Question

What type of food will be served and will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! There will be an open bar with several types of domestic and craft beers, wines, and liquor for mixed drinks. Our bar will close briefly from 6pm to 7pm to allow for our first dance, parent dances, cake cutting, and speeches. The food will be buffet style and cake and a Pittsburgh Cookie table will be provided for dessert. If you have a food allergy, please list that on your RSVP.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We are thrilled that you're coming to celebrate with us ---- having everyone we love in the same room together is the best gift of all! If you'd like to see our registry, please visit our Registry tab. It does take a few days to update the Zola registry if changes are made to the Amazon or Target registries that are attached. Some of the gifts that are marked as "group gifts" on Amazon may not always transfer over to the Zola registry. Please reach out to Paisley Travis if you experience any issues with the registry.

Question

What time will the reception end?

Answer

The reception will end around 9:30 to 9:45pm. We welcome all of our guests to support the amazing businesses on the first floor of Waterfront Hall if you aren't quite ready to go home after the event. There are two restaurants and a beautiful historic bar on the first floor of the venue. We just ask that you be respectful of any other patrons that are not with our party.

Question

I have a question that isn't listed here. Who should I contact?

Answer

We (Matt and Chelsea) are happy to answer any questions that you may have! We ask that if you think of something close to our wedding date (like in September) or on our wedding date, you reach out to a member of our wedding party, one of our parents, or our day of coordinator Ashley or her team first to get the quickest response!
