Casual wear is fine. Ladies please no white dresses other than that we are good with whatever you’re comfortable in.

What weather should I expect?

Of course we can’t guarantee anything, but are hopeful for a beautiful day. As a precaution we are keeping an eye on the weather here in the weeks leading up to the wedding.

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The wedding and reception will both be outdoors, however there will be a pavilion and other tents set up for guests to get out of the rain or take a break from the sun. We encourage you to come prepared with any umbrellas, sunscreen, or bug spray that you feel you may need. Fold out chairs for after the ceremony are welcome as well if you’d like to bring your own.

How do I RSVP?

You can RSVP right here on our website by clicking the RSVP button and typing in your name. It will take you step by step through the RSVP process.

When is the RSVP Deadline?

Please RSVP by June 30th, 2023 so that we have enough time to finalize everything and ensure that we have enough of everything for friends and family to delight in our day accordingly!

Can I bring my kids/babies?

Absolutely! We are kid friendly and wish to celebrate with people of all ages!

Can I bring my partner?

We have addressed your invites with “and family” if we knew for a fact you had children/spouses. In the event that we missed you, or you would like to bring a date or friend please reach out to us in a timely manner, meaning before the RSVP deadline and we will do our absolute best to accommodate your request.

I can’t attend the wedding in person. Will there be a virtual wedding?

While we understand some people’s concerns about Covid, and being unable to travel due to health concerns and other personal reasons, we will not be doing a virtual wedding for our special day as we are wanting to be as simple and unplugged as possible to really enjoy our wedding.

What type of food will be served during the reception?

We will be doing a southern cuisine buffet bar for our reception. It will remain open for the majority of the reception to allow guests to eat at their own chosen times and as little or as much as they would like. Once the buffet bar is closed for the night we will keep light snacks and finger foods out for you to enjoy.

Will there be an open bar?

Our bar will be a cash bar. Unique to other cash bars you may have seen in the past. Our “cash bar” will be charging $1 for beer and $2 for liquors. At the end of our celebration, all cash bar earnings will be donated in full to the “American Kidney Fund” in honor of the late Kristen Grieninger. The American Kidney Fund fights kidney disease on all fronts as the nations leading kidney nonprofit. The AKF supports people wherever they are in their fight against kidney disease- from prevention through post-transplant living. Additional donations are always welcome as it is a great cause. Soda, juice, and water will be free to everyone.

I have dietary restrictions, what’s the best way to communicate that with you?

We definitely want to make sure you enjoy your time and meal on our wedding day, please let us know when you RSVP (link) about your dietary needs.

Are you registered?

In lieu of gifts, we are asking guests whom would like to, please put your gift money towards our honeymoon fund. We have been living together for a couple of years now and have everything we need. There is a link on the website that you are able to do so if desired. Anything small or large will be appreciated and helpful to us.

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

We love photos! We do ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, we’d like that time to be unplugged. As for the rest, we encourage guests to post pictures and take as many as you’d like to. Please tag the bride and groom in any photos taken so that they can see them too!

Wheelchair accessible location?

Yes.

I have a question I can’t find the answer to, what is the best way to contact you?

Please feel free to reach out to the bride or groom via social media or by their cellphones. For those of you whom do not have these things, email the bride at hedrick1224@icloud.com
