FAQs
Question
Can we bring our kids?
Answer
We love your little ones! However, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives you a fun night out to relax, enjoy, and celebrate with us.
Question
Am I allowed to bring a plus one?
Answer
Your invitation will note whether a plus-one has been included for you. If it’s not listed, we kindly ask that you join us solo so we can celebrate within our venue capacity.
Question
Will the ceremony be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Our hope is to exchange vows outdoors surrounded by the beautiful Woods & Co. scenery. Minnesota weather can be unpredictable, though, so we do have an indoor ceremony option ready just in case. The reception will be held indoors.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Formal attire. Dress to impress and get ready to dance the night away!
Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
Your presence truly means the world to us, and we don’t expect traditional gifts. Instead, if you’d like to contribute, we’ve created a Honeymoon & Home Refresh Fund to help us build our first adventures together as husband and wife and make our new space feel like our home.
Question
What food will be served?
Answer
We’re thrilled to have Big Guys BBQ catering our dinner! Expect a delicious buffet featuring pulled pork, smoked chicken, creamy mac & cheese, house salad, and red mashed potatoes with gravy. If you need a vegan or vegetarian meal, Big Guys offers those options — but they must be specially ordered. Please reach out to us individually before March 14th if you need a vegan or vegetarian meal so we can make sure it’s arranged for you.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
We will not have a full open bar. To keep things budget-friendly, there will be a cash bar available for all drink purchases.
Question
What will be available during cocktail hour?
Answer
We’ll be hosting the first round of drinks, along with delicious small bites from Big Guys BBQ to tide you over before dinner.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the ceremony begins to allow time for parking, finding your seat, and settling in. We kindly ask that all guests arrive on time — anyone arriving late will not be able to enter once the ceremony has started. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep the moment uninterrupted!
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes! Woods & Co. offers on-site parking for guests. No need to stress—there’s plenty of space.
Question
Are the ceremony and reception at the same location?
Answer
Yes! Once you arrive, there’s no need to drive anywhere else. Everything will take place at Woods & Co.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that all guests keep phones and cameras put away during the ceremony. We’re having a fully unplugged moment so everyone can be truly present with us. No need to worry about missing anything—we not only have two professional photographers, but we’ve also hired a content creator to capture every raw, unedited moment. We’ll share all of it afterward, so you can sit back, soak it in, and enjoy the ceremony with us.
Question
What are the transportation options?
Answer
Pepin does have Uber availability, and most hotels and Airbnbs are within 5–10 minutes of the venue. For lodging suggestions, check out the “Where Can I Stay?” tab on our website, which links directly to local options.
