What date should I RSVP by?
July 11th, 2026. We appreciate your diligence in getting your RSVPs in before this date to ensure that we can get our vendors a final headcount in a timely manner.
What happens if I don't RSVP in time?
We will miss celebrating with you! We will need to provide our venue and vendors with exact numbers by a certain date, so please be diligent in getting those RSVPs in!
Can I bring a plus one?
We are so lucky to have many close friends and family who will be joining us for the day! Unfortunately, this means we are only able to accommodate the guests who are addressed on your formal invitation. All guests who we are able to extend an invite to will be clearly outlined on your invitation. We hope that you are able to understand and respect this wish.
Where are you registered for gifts?
We are registered with Amazon, Walmart, and Target. To access this link, you can click the "registry" tab.
What should I do if I can't get your registry link to load from this website?
Sometimes the link from this website (The Knot) to our registries can be finicky. If you can't get it to load, you can go to either target.com, walmart.com, or amazon.com and type in "Katherine/Katie Widner and Jared Nichols" and our wedding date, and they will pop up that way! Thank you for your patience!
What is the address of the venue where the ceremony and reception will be held?
281 Bales Rd, Pearisburg, VA 24134. Please feel free to reach out to Katie for a printed version of the directions.
Is there parking available at the venue?
Yes! There is a large parking lot directly outside of the barn that is a short and flat walk to the venue.
What time should I arrive to the venue?
Our ceremony begins at 6pm. We are asking that all of our guests arrive no later than 5:30pm to ensure that everyone is seated in a timely manner. Once our ceremony actually begins at 6pm, the road leading up to the venue will be blocked off and monitored by our parking attendant. After this time, guests will be asked to park down the hill and wait to avoid interruptions.
Is the Wedding outside?
Partially! The thirty minute ceremony will be held outside of the venue on a grassy area. Cocktail hour will also be hosted outdoors on a patio outside of the venue. However, the entirety of the reception will be indoors. The inside of the venue is air-conditioned!
Is it okay to post wedding photos on social media?
We are asking that our guests respect our wish of an "Unplugged Ceremony." Meaning that we would like no photos or videos taken during our 30 minute ceremony. However, directly after our ceremony (during cocktail hour and our reception), we would love for you to have your cameras out! Take as many photos as you would like to remember the day! Again, we just ask that you keep those phones and cameras away during our 30 minute ceremony to be able to enjoy the moment with us.
What is the dress code for the wedding?
The dress code is Summer Semi-Formal. For the ladies, this means medium or long length dresses. Fabrics such as satin, chiffon, and silk. For the gentlemen, this means dress pants, collared shirts, or button ups. This dress code is for inspiration only. We want our guest to look and feel their best, so wear what makes you the most comfortable!
Are children allowed?
Absolutely! We absolutely adore our little ones and are super excited to have them join us on our big day. They are welcome for all festivities.
Do you have a wedding hashtag?
Yes! Our wedding hashtag is #NearlyNichols. It'll also be posted around the venue for your convenience.
Do you have a hotel block somewhere?
No. We have not specifically blocked off at any hotel. However, we have provided a list of hotels in the surrounding areas under our "Travel" section.
