Q + A

What do we wear?

Semi-Formal / Black Tie Optional. We’d love for our guests to dress in their best for the occasion! Think fancy cocktail or evening wear: slacks and ties, cocktail dresses, or gowns. Feel free to add a touch of glamour but keep comfort in mind for dancing the night away! In case you wanted to know more of the vibe, groomsmen are wearing tuxedos and bridesmaids will be in gowns that are ankle length.

Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me to wear?

Besides the obvious answer of, no white please, the answer is anything! The bridal party will be wearing black, please feel free to join them if you so choose - like a funeral for our non-married lives.

Can I bring my kids?

We've decided to celebrate our special day as an adults-only event. While we adore the children in our lives, we're planning an evening celebration that will allow all our adult guests to relax and enjoy themselves. We hope you understand and look forward to celebrating with you!

Will the wedding be indoor or outdoor?

This is an indoor wedding, but we are keeping in mind the cold season. A coat check will be available upon entering the venue. The ceremony and reception will be in the same venue - no need to worry about travelling between.

What time should I arrive

Please arrive at 4:45pm, as the ceremony will promptly begin at 5:30pm. Please note the ceremony will be in front of the entrance, so late arrivals will be very noticable and a tad akward.

What is weather typically like at the venue this time of year?

While the venue is inside, keep in mind that it will be cold on your way to the venue. There is high chance of rain and temperatures below 40F. Coat check station is available at the venue.

Where do I park the car if driving?

There is on-street parking available, as well as 2 nearby open parking lots. It is pay for parking, but free after 7pm. Make sure you leave nothing seen in your car while parking. While the venue is in a safe pocket, car break ins are not uncommon. We would recommend using an Uber or Lyft to avoid the hassle of parking.

Can we bring our children to your wedding?

We hope you understand our decision to make the wedding child free, and take the opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate in style!

Can I take pictures with my phone?

We kindly ask that you keep your phones away during the ceremony and likely during dinner. We’ve hired a photographer to beautifully capture the day, and we’d love for everyone to enjoy the moment without phones in the way—especially during the ceremony. We’re happy to share all the stunning photos with you afterward! Cocktail hour and post-dinner are the perfect times for photos, so feel free to snap away then. Dinner is also a time to relax, enjoy, and connect with the people you love around you. Thank you for helping us create lasting memories!

Will you be taking song requests?

While we love that you're excited to dance, we kindly ask that no song requests be made to us or the DJ. We’ve carefully curated a playlist that reflects our personal tastes, and that's exactly why we have a DJ to keep the vibe just right. We hope you enjoy the music we've chosen and have an unforgettable time on the dance floor!

What date should I RSVP by?

There is a hard deadline of November 15th. We appreciate you RSVPing by that deadline using the link provided to you.

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

If a plus one is listed on your invitation, feel free to bring a guest. If it’s not mentioned, we kindly ask that you attend solo to accommodate to our venues size. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!

What will dinner look like? What if I have dietary restrictions?

Dinner will be served banquet style with assigned seats. The meal will be family-style, and we’re excited to share one of the highlights of the night—great food! The venue is known for its incredible cuisine, and we know you’re going to love it. We’ve also taken dietary restrictions into account, and there will be a prompt during the RSVP process to make sure everyone’s needs are met.

Do you have a registry?

We are so excited to have you join our special day and your presence at our wedding is the best gift we could ask for. However, if we are to be honored with a present from you, a monetary gift towards our honeymoon fund would be very much appreciated.
