Q + A

General Information

When and where is the wedding?

The wedding ceremony and reception is Saturday October 11, 2025 at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. The doors will open at 6pm and the ceremony will start shortly thereafter

What is the dress code?

Cocktail attire. Think of it as that sweet spot between casual and black-tie - formal, but not too formal. We're talking a suit and tie for men, and mini or midi dresses that feel polished or chic jumpsuits for women

Will the wedding be inside or outside?

Weather pending, our ceremony will take place outside and the reception will be held inside. So, please plan accordingly! October in Pittsburgh is typically cool and crisp so you might want to consider wearing a jacket for the ceremony. In the event it is raining, the ceremony will be moved inside as well

Why does the ceremony start so late?

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is open to the public until 5pm so in order for us to have a completely private event, we must wait until after they are closed to start our ceremony. Please plan accordingly beforehand as this means that dinner will be served later as well

Logistics

Where should I stay?

We have two hotels in which we have a room block booked - the Oaklander Hotel and Courtyard Pittsburgh University Center. You can find more information on booking at these hotels on the 'Travel' tab on our website. There are also Airbnb and VRBO rentals that you can find in the area as well. If you chose to stay at one of these, you will want to consider staying in the Oakland area to be close to the wedding venue

Will transportation be provided?

Transportation will be provided from the hotels to the wedding venue and back to the hotels after the wedding reception Saturday night. More details on specific timing will be posted soon!

What airport should I fly into?

Pittsburgh International Airport. You can also find more information on the 'Travel' tab on our website too

RSVP & Attendance

How do I RSVP?

Please RSVP on this website by navigating to the 'RSVP' tab. Please note: this feature is not available right now. We will be sending out formal invitations in a few months so the RSVP feature will be available soon. Please be sure to check back here in a few months to RSVP!

Am I allowed to take pictures during your ceremony?

To ensure everyone can fully immerse themselves in the ceremony, we kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. We've hired an amazing photographer to capture all the special moments so you can relax and enjoy the day! We will be happy to share the photos with you afterwards as well!
