Q + A

Will the wedding be indoors our outdoors?

We hope for an outdoor wedding with the view of the dairy farm, but if needed, there will be a space available inside if it decides to rain. Our reception will be held on the balcony and porch at Bimbo's.

What does parking look like?

Our venue has parking available for our guests. For the reception, Bimbo's has plenty of street parking and a parking lot.

What should I wear?

Please arrive in comfortable formal wear or business smart, black tie optional. Kindly refrain from wearing white, navy, eucalyptus green, or olive green.

What about kids and plus ones?

Due to limited venue space, we cannot accommodate for plus-ones beyond those listed on your response card. While we love all your kids, we have limited children to those involved in our wedding. We sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Will there be meal options?

We will have a buffet style dinner at Bimbo's. If needed, there is a dietary restriction section listed on your response card. We will try to accommodate as best we can and will reach out to you if necessary!

Will there be a bar?

During the reception, there will be a cash bar available.

Should we bring or send a gift?

Your presence is the greatest gift, but if you feel led to give, we have a cash registry available for your convenience. Gifts can be sent or brought to the event, whichever is easiest for you!

What are your photo preferences?

We have hired a professional photographer to document our special day. Phones and cameras are not welcome during the ceremony. Our reception will include a QR to an app that will allow our guests to share photos (like a disposable camera on your phone!). We encourage you to document the fun you have and hope you will share with us! Please refrain from posting any photos on social media until Christopher and Alyssa have the chance to.

What about the After Party on July 12th? What should I expect?

Since we’ve chosen a more intimate wedding ceremony, we still wanted a chance to celebrate with all of our loved ones! This after-party is our way of gathering together to celebrate our new marriage. What to expect: Enjoy great food, a relaxed atmosphere, and drinks! The Snuggery will offer a limited open bar, with a cash bar available for hard liquor. Feel free to come and go as you’d like, but we’ll be showing a recording of the ceremony at 7 PM.
