A RSVP is required for everyone. It is essential for planning our ceremony seating and reception meals. Guests who do not RSVP by the deadline will be marked "not attending". If you have already RSVP'd and can no longer attend please let us know as soon as possible. **RSVP's will be sent out at a later date, and we will appreciate your timely response**
We kindly ask you to respect our desire to have an "unplugged" ceremony by keeping your phones/cameras away until the reception. We have hired an amazing photography/videography team to capture those moments for us and we promise to share once we receive those. This not only includes the ceremony but also other special moments throughout the night (first dances, etc.). Any other time please feel free, we cannot wait to see everyones pictures from the night! **Please just remember to not post any photos of the wedding until the bride or groom has had a chance to do so first.**
We would love for our family and friends to get dressed up with us! We ask that guests wear semi-formal or formal attire. Please no jeans, white, or similar colors typically reserved for the bride. If you have any questions regarding your attire please reach out, we are happy to help!
Arriving at least 20 minutes before the ceremony start time (5pm) by 4:40pm is a great idea to ensure that you are able to get parking, find a seat, and settle in before the ceremony starts. The gates to the venue will also be closed before the ceremony begins so guests that are late will be not be able to attend the ceremony and will have to join us after at the reception.
Your company to help us celebrate on our big day is the greatest gift and we cannot wait to enjoy it with ya'll. We know that traditionally brides and grooms provide a list of things to fill their home, but we do have most things we need already. For those that would like to celebrate by giving a gift we ask that you contribute to our honeymoon or home improvement funds. We have also put together a registry from amazon & target of a few things we would love if you feel so inclined. You can find the link under the "registry" tab for the amazon and target registries and the different funds. We will also have a card box at the reception.
We can only accommodate guests listed on the invitation, please do not add extra guests. Your invite will be made out to “(Your Name) + Guest” if a plus one has been given to you. We are required to provide our venue with a detailed guest list and will be unable to make changes once it is submitted and/or add anyone not listed on the invite due to venue capacity. Thank you for understanding!
We love your little ones, but would love to have our wedding be an adult only event with the exception of the few that will be a part of the ceremony. We encourage you to use this as a fun date night! We appreciate you making prior arrangements so that you can celebrate with us.
First, we will be having "social hour" following the ceremony to allow for the bridal party to take photos. Appetizers, mocktails, and other drinks will be served. There will be a formal dinner to follow and a dessert bar and cake later on in the night. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know well in advance. **Menu TBD**
