Q + A

When should I RSVP by?

RSVPs will become available when formal invitations are sent. The deadline to RSVP is 10/05/2024. Please RSVP before this date in order to ensure we have the proper number of dinner plates and seats. If you do not RSVP prior to this date we will not have a seat for you.

How Do I RSVP?

You can RSVP by visiting our wedding website at theknot.com/isabellaandalexgetmarried and clicking the RSVP button on the home page. Don't forget to drop a song recommendation when you RSVP!

Can I RSVP for my whole Party?

Yes. If you are submitting an RSVP for more than one guest you can look them up on the RSVP tab and submit their RSVP. If you were invited as a party of 2 or more, your guest list information will reflect that information under the RSVP after you search your name.

Can I Bring Guests to the wedding?

We are keeping our guest list to family and close friends of the bride and groom due to our budget. Invitation is limited to the listed guests on each invitation only.

Will there be children allowed at the wedding?

No small children will be attending the event. We are keeping our guest list short due to our budget of the bride and groom.

If traveling by plane, where can I fly into?

There are several airport options in the area including Newark Airport in New Jersey, Trenton-Mercer Airport in New Jersey, and Philadelphia Airport in Pennsylvania.

Where should I stay if I am traveling?

We have listed three options for hotels on our wedding website under the 'Travel' tab, all in the same area. We will only be having a hotel block at the Courtyard Marriott Ewing Princeton, however, all three hotels are available as options for your stay.

Will you have a hotel block?

Yes. We have a hotel block at the Courtyard Marriott Ewing Princeton. To access the wedding block visit this link: https://www.marriott.com/events/start.mi?id=1701290040999&key=GRP . To book over the phone, call 609-771-8100 and use our code LBWS to book. Please note rooms are limited so try to book as soon as you RSVP. If there are no more rooms in the block or if the hotel is booked to capacity, there are two more hotel options listed under the 'Travel' tab of our wedding website.

What is the earliest I can check-in to the Hotel?

Check-in time for this hotel is standard at 3pm on both Friday and Saturday. If you are only planning on staying at the hotel for Saturday night, the hotel recommends trying to add the special request of early check-in to your reservation, as this can be done by calling the front desk. You would then contact the front desk the morning of your arrival date to check if there is any availability for an early check-in. If early check in is not available, we plan to have about an hour and a half between the end of the Wedding Ceremony and the beginning of cocktail hour, we recommend this time for checking-in if it was not already done prior.

Will there be transportation between Venues?

Our hotel does not provide a shuttle to the Ceremony venue. If you do not wish to drive to the church, Ubers are readily available from the hotel due to the close proximity to the Trenton-Mercer Airport. We suggest using the 'Uber Reserve' feature on the Uber app to book an Uber in advance for the time and place you would like to be going, in order to ensure timeliness. These venues are also close together and all have sufficient surface parking lots if you choose to drive yourself to each location. We will have a shuttle to take guests, post ceremony, from the hotel to the reception venue for cocktail hour, and post reception, from the reception to the hotel.

Will There be a shuttle to the Reception Venue?

Yes. We will have a shuttle to take guests, from the hotel to the reception venue for cocktail hour, and post reception, from the reception to the hotel. The Shuttle will be taking two trips starting at 5:00pm to the reception. At the end of the night it will be taking two trips starting at 10:15pm.

What are travel times between venues?

From the general location of the hotels to St. Mary's church, the travel time by car is usually about 25 minutes. From St. Mary's Church to the Trenton Country Club, the travel time by car is usually about 20 minutes. From the general location of the hotels to the Trenton Country club, the travel time by car is usually about 5 to 10 minutes. We suggest checking google maps for all current travel and traffic times in the area on the day.

Will There be parking at St. Mary's Church?

Yes. There is a large surface parking lot at the Church that has ample room for all wedding guests.

Is there parking at the Trenton Country Club?

Will any part of the wedding day be outside?

If weather permits, the cocktail hour hall will be opened up to a patio space for an indoor/outdoor option during that portion of the evening. The ceremony and main reception will both be fully indoors.

Yes! Feel free to join us at the hotel bar at the Courtyard Marriott Ewing Princeton for drinks after the event. Keep in mind this is not an open bar event and drinks will be at the guests expense, but be sure to take advantage of the open bar during the reception!
