When should I arrive to the ceremony?
TBA
What should I wear?
No worries, our "dress code" is on the less-formal side. We're asking that our guests dress anywhere from casual to semi-formal. For the men folk--if you're deciding to go casual--jeans (some rips are alright, but no huge gaping holes), khakis (pants or shorts), or dress pants and a nice collared shirt or button up will do; if semi-formal/dressy casual, dress shirt with slacks and possibly a tie if you wish, works great! For the ladies, casual wear would include a sundress or pantsuit with a wedge or dressy sandal shoe; if semi-formal/dressy casual, below-the-knee dresses, classy skirt with nice dress top, or dressy pantsuit with heels, wedges, or formal flats will work! We kindly ask for no t-shirts, tank tops, or floor length extravagant gowns.
Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will be outside. Be sure to dress appropriately based on the weather! Depending on rain or shine, remember to bring umbrellas, sunscreen, sunglasses, jackets/sweaters, gloves, bug spray, etc. We do have a rain plan just in case, in which we will be moved inside the barn on the venue property. Cocktail hour will be outside/inside and the reception will be inside the barn. The barn is not temperature controlled.
Where do I park?
There will be parking available on the venue's property with people helping to guide where to park.
Can I bring the kids?
Kids WILL be allowed throughout the entirety of our wedding. However, we do kindly ask that during the ceremony if your child/children are making a fuss, to please redirect or remove them from the ceremony until resolved. The venue owner has also asked for parents to please supervise their child/children around the property, especially around the pond. The pond on the venue grounds is deep and they nor we would like to be held responsible for any accidents. The venue owner also asked to please not throw any rocks into the pond. During the reception, our DJ will NOT be playing radio-edited songs (meaning there will be curse words). If this does not sit well with you, please do not ask for us to change the song because the music "isn't for children's ears." You are more than welcome to leave earlier than originally intended (-:
What's on the menu for the cocktail hour and reception?
Cocktail hour: TBA.
Reception: Pulled pork BBQ, salad with either ranch or Italian dressing, mac 'n cheese, potato salad, and green beans.
If none of this sounds to your liking, well I suggest you pick up some fast food on the way (-:
Will there be booze?
We will be offering SOME alcohol, meaning when it's gone, IT'S GONE. The "free" booze we will be providing for our guests will include beer and wine coolers. No hard liquor will be served. As a guest, you will be allowed to bring your own beer, wine, and/or wine cooler beverages but NO HARD LIQUOR (e.g., whiskey/scotch/bourbon, vodka, tequila, rum, gin, brandy, moonshine, etc.)
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Phone usage will not be permitted from the beginning of the procession to the end of the ceremony. We would like to have an "unplugged ceremony" so that all of our guests are enjoying the moment with us and not through their phone screens. We also don't want people holding up their phones in our wedding photos (-: Before the procession music starts and once the ceremony has ended (after we finish walking back down the aisle as a married couple), phones will be permitted.
What is the best way to RSVP?
Right here on our website under the RSVP section! We will not be sending out physical card invites for everyone to send back in the mail. If you received a "Save the Date" card in the mail, our website name should be on there and you can go to that link for all of the details & to reserve your seat at our weddin' <3 We do kindly ask that you do not assume a "plus-one" is automatically allowed. If you have discussed with us beforehand, then we have counted for your additional people and should be included in the RSVP. If you are to assume and bring more than we have counted for, we might possibly turn you away due to the capacity of our venue and the amount of food we have ordered to feed a certain amount of people.
When is the RSVP deadline?
JUNE 30, 2024. PLEASE let us know if you (and your possible extras that we have already accounted for on our guest list) will be attending by SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 2024! This gives us enough of a time cushion to make sure we have everything in order with our multiple vendors--such as seating with our venue and amount of food with our caterer(s).
I can't attend the wedding in person. Will there be a virtual wedding celebration?
We are super hopeful that another crazy pandemic does not re-occur during the time of our wedding, so at this moment in time, we will not be streaming our ceremony. If things are to change, we will provide further updates.
I'm visiting from out of town. What can I do while I'm in Etown/Louisville?
For our out of town peeps, there are a few things to do around our neck of the woods! In and around Elizabethtown (Etown), there are multiple places to shop including the Towne Mall, Brandi's Boutique, That Bizzi B, and many other small businesses. There's also Axe Throwing, the Crowne Pointe Theatre to catch a movie, take a stroll around Freeman Lake, 3 Decade Arcade, Sky's the Limit for a fun trampoline park, Heartland Mini Golf, and B&B Lanes for bowling. In and around the Louisville area, the list is endless. Major spots I can think of to mention is the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, Louisville Zoo, Louisville Mega Caverns, Kentucky Science Center, Big Four Bridge, Fourth Street Live!, and a wide array of parks and bars.
Do you have a wedding registry?
While we are not expecting any kind of gifts, just your presence to help celebrate one of the best days of our lives, we do have a registry (technically lol)! We have created one cash fund which can also be found on our website here! It is listed for our honeymoon fund (-: Any amount-no matter how big or small-is VERY much appreciated!
Can I bring my gift to the wedding?
As stated before, your presence is present enough for sure!! But should you wish to bring a gift to our wedding, there will be a gift table for your convenience.
When will the reception end?
Per our arrangements with the venue, our reception will be concluding at 9:30pm. The music will be turned off and the clean-up will begin.
What's the best way to contact you if I have additional questions?
If there are any unanswered questions or thoughts that were left a little fuzzy, please feel free to call/text either of our numbers, email at kayleaanddillion@gmail.com, or shoot either of us a message on any of our social media handles (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and hell, even TikTok or VSCO-whatever floats your boat!)
