When should I RSVP by?
Please RSVP no later than March 20th. You can do this using the QR code on your formal invitation or by clicking the RSVP tab in the menu above. If you do not RSVP by the deadline, we will assume you cannot make it, and you will not be included in our numbers.
What time should I arrive?
Because our ceremony is starting at 4:00, we recommend you arrive by 3:45 to ensure that you are seated in time.
Can I bring a guest/date?
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any additional guests. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the people named on your invitation. Your invitation will be made out to "{Your Name} & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you.
Are kids welcome?
Yes, children are invited! Invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children who are invited.
What is the dress code?
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! The official dress code for all events is semi-formal. We ask that guests avoid jeans or shorts. We also kindly ask the ladies refrain from wearing white, ivory, or cream-colored attire.
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
We plan on having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that we kindly ask that all phones and cameras are silenced and put away during the ceremony. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for the photographer to be able to capture the best moments which we will absolutely share with you. Feel free to take all the photos and videos you'd like during cocktail hour and the reception!
If I am coming from out of town, where should I stay?
There are a few hotels in Waverly and more options in Cedar Falls. We will have a hotel room block at the Cobblestone Inn in Waverly; details for this can be found under the travel page.
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes; there is a parking lot at The Hidden Acre. However, to ensure there is enough parking for everyone, we recommend carpooling if you can to save spaces. Vehicles may be left in the parking lot overnight, but will need to be removed by 11:00 am the next day per the Hidden Acre.
Is there alcohol?
We will be having a Cash Bar for our guests! We ask that no outside alcohol is brought into the venue due to venue policy.
Is the wedding inside or outside?
We are currently planning on an outdoor ceremony. However, being the beginning of May, we do have a backup plan in case of bad weather. Dress accordingly for an outdoor ceremony. Weather in Waverly at the beginning of May tends to be in the 60s.
