FAQs
Will there be a Welcome Party on Friday night?
We are still planning on having a casual get together at Trailside Brewing Co. (873 LENNOX PARK DRIVE HENDERSONVILLE NC 28739) on Friday night. We'd love to see anyone who is planning to be in town early! The brewery is family friendly and all are welcome!

How do I get to the venue?
Accurate directions to the venue can be found by typing the address in Google Maps and using the entrance for the Chestnut Mountain Golf Club on Vista Falls Drive. It is near the Vista Falls Veterinary Hospital. When you arrive at the guard gate, please tell the guard that you are attending a wedding at the Laurel Room.
If you are using Apple Maps, you will need to enter Chestnut Mountain Golf Club (22 Vista Falls Rd, Mills River, NC) to find directions to the correct entrance on Vista Falls Drive. Then drive up Country Club Road to The Laurel Room at High Vista.
If you are having trouble finding the guard gate, please use the address: 22 Vista Falls Rd, Mills River, NC
Once inside the gate, follow the signs to the clubhouse. Once you spot the clubhouse on the left, keep driving to the top of the hill and you will see the parking lot on your left behind the pool. You will enter the venue through The Robsinson Pub. There is a valet circle in front of The Pub where you can drop someone off, but there will not be a valet to park your vehicle.
I hate to be late, can I plan to arrive earlier than the time stated on the invitation?
We also hate to be late and usually plan an early arrival. However, our event space is a private country club and members will still have access to the club shortly before our celebration starts. Please arrive at the time on the invitation to allow members to leave the space and the parking lot to empty.
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes! There is a parking lot next to the venue. However, our event space is a private country club and members will still have access to the club shortly before our celebration starts. Please arrive at the time on the invitation to allow members to leave the space and the parking lot to empty. If necessary, you can leave your vehicle parked overnight, but the club asks that you pick it up by 8am the following morning.
What should I wear?
The dress code is cocktail attire and the celebration will be indoors. Think cocktail dresses and jumpsuits or slacks with a button down and tie or a suit without a tie. The weather in Western North Carolina in March can vary, so please check the forecast before you pack so you will be comfortable!
How can I let you know that I have food allergies?
Please include any food allergies in your RSVP so that we can make sure the caterer is prepared! Please be as specific as possible- we want to make sure we have food you can enjoy!
What the heck is a Rutangelo?
It's the combination of our last names- Rutan and D'Angelo! It all started when Gabby was introducing Ryan to the wonderful world of a joint iPhone calendar. When we were trying to come up with a good name for the calendar we landed on Rutangelo....and it just kind of stuck. You'll be seeing it come up a lot throughout our wedding!
