FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
If you are able to RSVP when you receive your invitation -that is great and very helpful! The last day to RSVP is April 15, 2024. If we do not get an RSVP back by the date provided, it will be marked as a "No". We will miss you celebrating with us, however, we have to provide total guest counts to our vendors in a timely manner. Due to this we cannot accept late RSVP's, we hope that you understand!
Question
What should I wear ?
Answer
We would love to see our friends and family get dressed up with us! Our dress code is semi formal/cocktail attire. For Example: Women are more than welcome to wear any semi-formal dress they would like (we aren't hosting the MET gala, so don't think you have to dress too fancy). Men can wear a button-up, dress pants/khakis, and a suit jacket (if they so desire). Feel free to reach out with any questions! All wedding events will take place indoors with plenty of air conditioning.
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
We love all of our friend's and family's children! However, due to space restrictions we cannot accommodate guests under age 21 on our wedding day, with the exception of children in the wedding party and immediate family. We encourage you to use this evening to have a fun date night!
Question
Can I bring a plus one ?
Answer
Due to the limited capacity of our venue, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless specifically indicated on your envelope. For example, if you have a plus one, your address will be listed as "Mr./Miss XYZ and Guest." If you are confused, when you RSVP and type in your name, you will see if you have a plus one! We want everyone to share in the celebration and this will ensure that we are surrounded by our close friends and family. We hope you understand!
Question
Can I take pictures throughout the ceremony?
Answer
In order to ensure we are all fully present, we will be having an "unplugged" ceremony. We request that you turn off/silence all phones during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture this special moment and we would be happy to send you any pictures upon request! During cocktail hour and the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like!
