Q + A

When should I RSVP by?

We will need to provide final count to our vendors. Please RSVP as soon as possible or at the latest, August 1st, 2024.

What if I don't RSVP in time?

Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate you if your RSVP is late. We will need to provide our vendors and the venue final numbers by a certain date. While I will send reminders, please be sure to RSVP as soon as possible.

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive at the venue no later than 4:20pm. Doors open at 4:00pm. If you arrive after 4:20pm, you may not be able to be seated for the ceremony and will have to wait until cocktail hour to enter the venue. The ceremony will begin at 4:30pm.

Can I bring a date?

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited. If you receive a plus one on your invite, there will be a place to submit your plus one's name. If you don't receive a plus one, please respect our wishes as we're trying to keep our wedding as intimate as possible. Thank you for understanding!

Where do we park?

Our wedding is located in downtown Columbia. You will need to find street parking, find a parking garage (you will need to pay for parking) OR you can park at the church across the street (First Christian Church)! However, if you park at the church, you must move your car by midnight or your car may be towed.

Will there be an open bar?

Yes! Beer and wine will be served all night! If you'd like other drinks, there is a full bar but you'll have to pay for those items. Party accordingly and plan a safe way home!

Do we need to bring anything?

Please bring cash for tips at the bar!

Where should we stay? When should be book our hotel?

We don't have a room block and it is MIZZOU football season - so please consider booking your hotel EARLY. We recommend booking your hotel room at The Tiger Hotel or The Broadway. These are both great hotels downtown and you could walk to and from the wedding!

What is the dress code?

Cocktail / Semi Formal
