FAQs

The Wedding Website of Carly Alyse and Grant Ryan
Should you have any additional questions not addressed on this page, please do not hesitate to contact either the Bride or the Groom.
Question

When is the deadline to RSVP?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP by April 20th so we may share our final guest count with our vendors. A response will be required for entry into the venue, and any guests who have not replied by this date will be noted as “Unable to Attend.” We truly hope to celebrate with you!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We want all of our guests to feel confident and comfortable. The theme is formal garden party. Please avoid outfits in solid shades of white. Kindly note, the bridal party will be wearing light pink. We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your attire!

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

While we adore your little ones, due to venue restrictions and limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate children who are part of the wedding party. We kindly ask that guests under the age of 12 not attend.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please refer to your invitation, where any included guests will be clearly indicated. If your allotted plus one is unable to attend, kindly refrain from substituting another person in their place. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we cherish keeping our celebration intimate.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place in an open-air chapel, featuring overhead cover with open sides. Weather permitting, the reception will be enjoyed in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be held at different locations?

Answer

We are pleased to share that both the ceremony and reception will take place on the same property. The reception area is conveniently located just a short walk from the chapel.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

You can find recommendations under the “Accommodations” tab on this website, where we have listed hotels conveniently located near the venue.

Question

Will there be transportation to and from the venue?

Answer

Please note that shuttle service to and from the venue will not be provided. However, ample parking spaces will be available on site.

Question

What time is the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will commence promptly at 4:30 PM.

Question

What time should I arrive at the venue?

Answer

We encourage guests to arrive 15–30 minutes early to allow time for parking and finding your seat. The ceremony will begin promptly, and we don’t want you to miss a single moment!

Question

Can I take photos or videos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly request that guests refrain from using phones, cameras, and other recording devices during the ceremony, allowing everyone to be fully present with us for this special moment. Following the ceremony, we warmly encourage you to capture and share photos and videos, as we would love to experience the night through your eyes.

Question

What should I do between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

In keeping with tradition, we have chosen not to have a “first look.” From 5:00 to 6:00 PM, while the Bride and Groom are taking portraits, guests are invited to enjoy a cocktail hour featuring appetizers and refreshments. The celebration will officially begin at 6:00 PM.

Question

Will alcoholic beverages be served?

Answer

We extend our sincere gratitude to the groom’s parents for generously providing alcoholic beverages for our celebration. Please drink responsibly, and we encourage all guests to arrange for a designated driver.

Question

Do I need cash?

Answer

An open bar will be available for your enjoyment, but gratuities for our bartender are warmly appreciated. Additionally, we look forward to celebrating with the traditional “money dance.”

Question

Will there be an after-party?

Answer

The reception will conclude promptly at 10:00 PM. Please note that there will be no after-party following the event.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Our registry can be conveniently accessed through the “Registry” tab on our wedding website.

Question

Where should I bring/send my wedding gift?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for, and gifts are entirely optional. However, if you wish to honor us with a gift, you may have it shipped directly to our home (this is an option when ordering from our registry) or bring it with you to the celebration, as we have chosen not to host a couples’ or bridal shower. Also, a card box will be available at the reception for your convenience.
