Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place?

Both the ceremony & reception will be held at Stonewall Golf Club. The full address is 15601 Turtle Point Dr, Gainesville, VA 20155.

Will the ceremony be held indoors or outdoors?

We plan for our ceremony to be held outdoors. The ceremony will take place on the patio under a pavilion. Should the weather be chilly, we will have heaters to utilize.

Will the cocktail hour & reception be held indoors or outdoors?

We will have access to the Brass Cannon Restaurant with both indoor & outdoor spaces for cocktail hour. The reception will take place indoors in the Magnolia Ballroom.

What type of food and drink will be served during the cocktail hour and reception?

There will be stationary & passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, followed by a plated dinner and dessert. An open bar including select beer, wine, & liquor will be available beginning at cocktail hour.

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

We kindly request formal attire for our wedding.

What exactly is formal attire?

Guests are encouraged to wear attire that fits a black tie dress code, but this is optional. For men, they should wear a suit with a shirt and tie. Women should wear a floor-length gown, knee-length cocktail dress, a pantsuit, or dressy separates.

What time should I arrive?

We recommend that you arrive 20-30 minutes prior to the ceremony to make sure everyone is able to be seated and we can begin the ceremony as scheduled.

Are children welcome?

Although we love your little ones, to allow all guests to relax and enjoy themselves, we have chosen to make our special day an adults only (21+) affair. We thank you for your understanding.

Can I bring a plus one?

We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We love photos! However, we do ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, we’d like that time to be unplugged. For the rest of the wedding, we encourage guests to take pictures and videos!

Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?

Yes. We are recommending our guests stay at the Springhill Suites by Marriott - Gainesville Haymarket or the Hampton Inn Gainesville-Haymarket. Room block information for both hotels can both be found on our travel tab or by visiting the following link: https://www.theknot.com/us/amber-dodson-and-andrew-brown/travel

Will transportation be provided to the venue?

Yes. We will be providing shuttle transportation from the Springhill Suites hotel to Stonewall Golf Club & back to the hotel at the end of the night. For convenience, we recommend staying at this hotel if you would like to utilize the shuttle.

Where should guests park?

If you will be driving to the venue, there is ample parking available at Stonewall Golf Club. You may park in any unmarked space. Stonewall does allow cars to be left overnight if needed. If you choose to park overnight, please make sure your vehicle is picked up by 10:00AM the following morning.

Do you have a wedding registry?

Though gifts are by no means expected, we do have a registry. You may click on the registry tab on our website or visit the following link: https://www.theknot.com/us/amber-dodson-and-andrew-brown/registry

What should I do if I can’t make it?

You will certainly be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, we understand. Please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.
