When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP online (the last tab on this website) by 4/24/24.

Where should I eat on Friday night or for Saturday/Sunday brunch?

There are tons of fantastic restaurants, bars, and dessert shops in our neighborhood! We definitely recommend checking out the many options on Grandview Ave and have compiled a list of recommendations on the "Things to Do" tab.

Is there a dress code?

We can't wait to dance the night away with our favorite people. Dress to impress in your best cocktail attire! Need a refresher on cocktail attire? https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-guest-attire-cheat-sheet

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Help us get the celebration started as scheduled! We recommend that you arrive at the church between 3:30 and 3:45 pm (probably on the earlier side if you're using rideshare).

What are the transportation options?

Ridesharing (Lyft/Uber) is available throughout Columbus and rental cars are available at the airport. The church is a 7–15 minute drive from the hotels, so please plan accordingly. If you want to explore the city or get to Grandview Ave without a car, there are bus stops next to the hotels (the "Transit" app has schedules, routes, and payment options) and a city bikeshare program (through the "Lyft" app). *The bus schedules do NOT line up well with the ceremony time, so we recommend driving, carpooling, or rideshare.

Is it okay to take pictures during the wedding?

The church only allows professional photographers to take photos at the beginning and end of the ceremony so we invite you to be fully present with us, without the distraction of electronic devices. For the rest of the weekend, we would love for you to take photos of your Columbus adventures, the welcome gathering, and the reception. You will find a QR code at the wedding where you can upload your photos or videos into our virtual guestbook. We're excited to look back on the day through your eyes!

Will events be indoors or outdoors?

The welcome gathering on Friday is at an indoor/outdoor bar. The ceremony and reception will be entirely indoors. Weather permitting, there will be both an indoor space and an outdoor patio space for the cocktail hour.

What's the parking situation?

The church has a parking lot and there's also plenty of free street parking in this part of the neighborhood. The reception venue is attached to the main hotel (Courtyard Marriott Columbus OSU), which has a complimentary parking parking garage. The secondary hotel (Hyatt Place Columbus OSU) also has complimentary parking and is just across the street. If you're exploring Grandview Ave, there is some street parking and a few parking lots (check the map on the "things to do" tab), most of which are free during the day and you can pay via the ParkMobile app in the evening. Please pay close attention to parking signage so you don't get ticketed, since there are some resident-only parking spots in the neighborhood.

Can I bring a date or kids?

All invitations specify who is invited. We are unable to accommodate guests outside of who was listed. Thanks for understanding!

Will there be an open bar?

The welcome gathering on Friday night is a cash bar (or credit card). The wedding reception on Saturday will have an open bar! The bar will be open during cocktail hour, close during the dinner hour, and reopen for dancing.

Will there be food at the welcome gathering?

The bar does not have food, but we encourage you to try one of the many amazing restaurants within walking distance!
