FAQs

If you have any other questions other than what we've listed here, please reach out to our wedding planner, Sam, at weddings@hotelblackhawk.com or 563-484-5904.
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We ask that you RSVP by September 30th, 2026. If we have not received your RSVP by September 30th, 2026, you will automatically be marked as a no. We have to provide total guest counts to the venue in the timely manner they have given to us and cannot accept late RSVP's due to this. We hope that you understand!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We have addressed the invitations to the people we would love to come. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Please ensure that you are RSVPing for yourself and your guest. Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we'd love to invite all of the children, we can only accommodate a few close family children. We are asking that guests refrain from bringing children, unless noted on your invitation. We hope that you understand our decision, and are still able to join us on our special day.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! We are asking our guest to dress up with us! Formal All-Black Attire is requested. Gentlemen may wear a plain black dress shirt, with or without a jacket and tie, or a traditional black suit—tuxedos are not required. For women, floor-length or midi-length, black dresses, jumpsuits, or pantsuits are preferred. Please, no jeans or sneakers. There is a tab marked dress code with examples of what we would like for you to wear!!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! Parking for the wedding is free, you’ll get a ticket before leaving. If you were to leave your car over night or to stay at the Black Hawk Hotel your parking will be $18 a night.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 4pm. We ask that you arrive no later than 3:45pm. That will give you plenty of time to find parking and your seat before we get the party started!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

No. The ceremony, reception, and room block are all at the Black Hawk Hotel. If you were to stay elsewhere you will be responsible for your own transportation. All day before, day off, and day after activities will take place downtown.
