FAQs

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

December 21, 2023 If you do not RSVP, you will be marked as declined. The RSVP page of the website will open in October when formal invitations are mailed out. Check back here when you receive your invitation.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Plan to be in Dallas around 2:00 and be parked/walking to the venue by 2:30. There is a parking map on the travel page. There is no parking directly at the House of Blues. The venue should allow guests to line up outside or wait inside if there is space to accommodate everyone by 2:30. You will be let in the Cambridge Room at 2:45 to be seated. The ceremony/party will start promptly at 3:00. If you arrive after 3:00, you will not be let in until 3:15 and will miss the ceremony. This day is on an incredibly tight schedule due to the three hour time limit.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

Yes, you may take pictures from your seat. But if you block the photographer and videographer we paid for and ruin their pictures or video, Jena might come after you. Just be cool. Pictures are encouraged througout the evening via the Lense App. There will be a QR code on your table to scan. Lense is a disposable camera right on your phone limited to 15 pictures per guest, pictures taken will not be visible until 7:00. The app will notify you when the gallery is live. This is a fun, interactive way for the couple to see the night through your eyes.

One last thing, do you mind learning a song for the couple?
