FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 2:00pm. To ensure you have plenty of time to find a seat, we advise arriving about 15 minutes prior.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, the attire is black-tie optional. A tuxedo isn't required, but the wedding is still formal enough for one to be appropriate. Some examples include: For him: A tuxedo or formal dark suit and tie. For her: A long evening dress, dressy suit or formal cocktail-length dress.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As this is an evening event, and we want our guests to be able to kick back and enjoy. We’ve found a few local babysitting services we can recommend. If you may be in need of these services, please reach out to the bride or groom directly at slawrence98@gmail.com or francis.e.hannon@gmail.com

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes, please see the "Travel" section for information on hotels where room blocks have been reserved.

Question

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

Answer

Yes, please let the bride or groom know in advance if you have a food allergy or require special food accommodations.

Question

What should we do between the ceremony and cocktail hour?

Answer

There will be a small break (about 1.5 hrs) between the ceremony and cocktail hour. We recommend grabbing a coffee or a cocktail and enjoying the weather at either the Hall on Franklin, Hidden Springs Ale Works, or Foundation Coffee. All are adjacent to the reception venue and have many good options for food and drink. You can find more information about each of these venues under the "Things to Do" section of our website.

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Yes. We will be hosting an casual open-house from 1:00pm-10:00pm on Friday, May 11. If you are flying in early, please stop by and say hello! More information regarding this event can be found under the "Schedule" tab.
