RSVP
What date should I RSVP by?
Please RSVP virtually through the RSVP tab by May 14th, 2025.
How do I complete the virtual RSVP?
To complete your RSVP, simply go to the RSVP tab and enter your name. If you have additional guests in your party, you can RSVP for them as well. Please confirm whether you will be attending the wedding, select your dinner choices, and answer a few other questions.
Am I allowed to bring a plus one?
Your invitation will indicate whether you are welcome to bring a plus one. If it includes "and Guest" or mentions a specific person's name alongside yours, then you're invited to bring them. If only your name is listed, we’re unfortunately unable to accommodate additional guests due to space and planning constraints. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the hotel(s)?
No, we won’t have a shuttle since the walk from the Americus Hotel to Vault 634 is just a short distance. If you have any concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
Parking
Is there parking available near the venue?
Yes, free private gated parking can be found in the Gross McGinley Law Firm parking lot. The lot is on the left side of 7th Street, past Hamilton Street, and immediately following the Lehigh County Government Center.
The parking lot can be found at this address:
33 S. 7th Street
Allentown, PA 18101. Use Code XXXXX# to access this parking lot on the keypad.
Vault 634’s main entrance is located on Hamilton Street, however, please access the building using the side entrance on 7th Street.
Once parked, Vault 634’s side entrance is just a short walk away from the parking lot. Head north on 7th Street out of the parking lot, past the Lehigh County Government Center, and turn right near the red brick section of the sidewalk. Look for the “V” above the entrance.
Once inside the side entrance, head upstairs to the ceremony using either the steps or elevator.
dress code
What is the dress code for your wedding?
We kindly ask our guests to dress in formal attire to celebrate our special day. Men should wear a tuxedo or a suit with a tie or bowtie, and women are encouraged to wear dresses ranging from knee-length to full-length. Thank you for dressing to impress—we can’t wait to celebrate with you in style!
Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me NOT to wear?
We kindly ask that women avoid short cocktail dresses and men refrain from wearing short-sleeve shirts. As a special note, we ask that guests refrain from wearing blue, as this color is reserved for the wedding party and the mothers of the bride and groom. We’re aiming for a formal, elegant look, and we appreciate your understanding in helping us create the perfect atmosphere for our celebration!
What is the weather like in the area?
In mid-June, the weather in central Pennsylvania is typically warm and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s°F (24-30°C). While it’s usually sunny, it’s always a good idea to bring a light jacket or sweater for the evening, as temperatures can cool off after sunset. We recommend checking the forecast closer to the date to help you plan your outfit!
ceremony
What time should I arrive at your wedding ceremony?
We recommend arriving to Vault 634 by 4:30pm. Our ceremony is set to start promptly at 5pm.
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
We kindly ask all guests to silence and put away their phones before the ceremony and refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, as we've hired a professional photographer to capture those special moments.
happy hour
WILL THERE BE A HAPPY HOUR?
Yes! After the conclusion of the ceremony, guests will be asked to travel to the lowest level of Vault 634 into the Speakeasy. Our happy hour will be one hour long and will feature a full open bar, along with a selection of stationary hors d'oeuvres and hot, waiter-served hors d'oeuvres.
reception
What type of food will be served at your wedding?
We’re excited to treat our guests to a delicious dining experience! During happy hour, we’ll have a selection of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres. Dinner will be a seated meal with your choice of chicken, steak, or shrimp. Later in the evening, a variety of desserts will be served, along with a late-night bites station to keep the celebration going.
Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?
Yes, we’ll be happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies. Please be sure to include any specific needs when you RSVP, and we’ll ensure there are meal options available for you.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! We’ll have a 4-hour open bar available to all guests. The bar will be open for one hour during happy hour, and then will close during the reception dinner. An option of red or white wine will be offered to all guests during dinner. If wine isn’t your preference, feel free to grab a drink before happy hour ends to bring to your table. The bar will reopen after dinner so you can continue enjoying the celebration!
What time will your wedding reception end? Is there an after-party?
The reception is set to end at 11pm. Please stay tuned for information on after-party location.
