How can I live stream your wedding?

Although not what we envisioned, we are glad that you are able to join us remotely to celebrate our big day. We cannot thank you enough for all the love and support. You do not need to create an account to view the event, but you can RSVP on the website to get updates and reminders for our big day. https://evt.live/youvealwaysbennett11072020

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony and reception begin?

Answer

Guests can arrive on the Estate one hour prior to the ceremony start time. The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00pm so we recommend you arrive around 5:30pm to allow time to find the venue. Once you arrive at the venue there will be a string duo performing while you wait for the ceremony to start. The cocktail hour will begin immediately after the ceremony, followed by the reception. Please be aware that Christmas at Biltmore begins November 6th so there may be increased traffic getting into the Estate.

Question

How do I get to the venue? Is there onsite parking available for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

If you are not staying at one of the hotels onsite, please drive onto the Biltmore Estate (once the road become two lanes, stay in the left lane- you will see big burgundy signs that say Deerpark) and tell the lovely people at the entrance that you are a guest of the wedding of Amanda Pinheiro and Chip Bennett. Please continue to follow the burgundy signs to Deepark and park in the lot. The party will be waiting for you at the front entrance of Deepark!

Question

Can I take an Uber/Lyft to your wedding ceremony/reception?

Answer

Yes! Alternatively, if you choose to drive, you may also leave your car at the venue overnight and pick it up the next morning. Stay safe!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Although we adore your children and love to watch them run and play, due to budget constraints and gathering limitations this is an adults only kind of day!

Question

What about dates/plus ones?

Answer

While we’d love to have your guests attend, we want to keep our wedding as intimate as possible due to gathering restrictions. Thank you for understanding our wishes.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Ladies should wear cocktail dresses and the gentlemen should wear a suit and tie or sports coat. No casual attire, please.

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Answer

We respectfully ask that you silence your phones and refrain from using them during the ceremony (we’ve hired a great photographer!). After the ceremony, feel free to snap away and enjoy the beautiful backdrop of Deerpark at Biltmore Estate! Please tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #YouveAlwaysBennett so we can follow along with of all of your pictures!
