The ceremony will be held at Gospel Community Church (1301 Rivermont Avenue, Lynchburg, VA, 24501). The reception will be on the 8th floor of the Bank of the James building in downtown Lynchburg (828 Main Street, Lynchburg, VA, 24501).

For the ceremony, there is parking in the lot behind the church, across Bedford avenue in the small parking lot behind the gas station, and across Rivermont Avenue in the enclosed parking lot. Street parking is also available, but please be courteous of the neighbors by not blocking their driveways. For the reception, all wedding guests are welcome to park in the venue's garage, adjacent to the Bank of The James Building. Guests are encouraged to park on the 4th and 5th floors and take the elevators straight up to the 8th floor for the reception on Terrace View. Guests will not be allowed to enter the building through the front doors and will only be able to access the venue through the elevators located in the parking garage.

We ask that you abstain from taking pictures or videos by any means during our ceremony. Our photographer will be documenting both the ceremony and reception, and we want you to be able to practice being fully present while you celebrate with us.

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal. Wear that formal outfit you've never had a chance to wear before, but don't stress about finding something black-tie worthy.

We are having a dry wedding, so we ask that you please respect that decision. Additionally, our venue will be enforcing a $500 fine for any outside alcohol that is brought in, and none of us want to incur that. We will be providing water, coffee, and other non-alcoholic beverages, so enjoy those to your heart's content and save any alcohol for after the reception!

We will have a heavy charcuterie board, a mashtini bar, and cupcakes.

We are mostly excited that you're taking the time to celebrate with us at all. If you want to honor us with a gift, you can find our registries on this website and have your gift delivered to us at our address. We will also have a table for cards and gifts at the reception if you want to bring your gift with you.

Instead of a traditional cocktail hour, we are encouraging our guests to explore downtown Lynchburg while we take our wedding party pictures. Check out the "Things to Do" page for our recommendations and favorite places to go downtown!

Absolutely! Neither Emma nor Craig has social media, so there is no need to delay posting until we do - we won't be posting at all! If you do post, use the hashtag #emmaandcraig5ever so we can appreciate your posts via our friends' accounts.
