Q + A

What is the dress code for our wedding?

The dress code is black tie optional. This means guests are encouraged to dress formally, with tuxedos or evening gowns being great options, but a dark suit and tie or a formal cocktail dress are also perfectly appropriate.

Are children welcome at our wedding?

While we love your little ones, we’ve decided to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. This allows all of our guests to relax, enjoy the evening, and celebrate with us. We appreciate your understanding!

Can I bring a plus one to the wedding?

We’ve chosen to keep our wedding an intimate celebration with close friends and family. As a result, we’re only able to accommodate the guests named on your save-the-date or invitation. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Is there somewhere specific I should be staying?

Please see the Travel tab for information regarding our hotel block!

Will transportation be provided to or from the venue?

Transportation from our hotel block (Residence Inn Short Pump at The Notch) is leaving at 3:15 PM to the venue! There will be transportation taking everyone back from the venue to the hotel as well at 10:45 PM.

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Ceremony time is 4pm. Please arrive to Dover Hall by 3:30pm to help us stay on schedule for our day!

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors if weather allows. There will be plenty of space indoors to take a break from the heat if necessary!

What should I do if I have dietary restrictions?

We want everyone to enjoy the meal! We will have different food options to accommodate everyone to the best of our ability, but please let us know about any dietary restrictions or allergies in your RSVP, or when we contact you about your food selection.

Is there a specific gift registry?

Your presence is the greatest gift! However, if you’d like to contribute, we've setup our registry on the Registry tab of this website.

Will there be an open bar at the wedding?

Absolutely! We’ll have a fully stocked open bar ready for you to enjoy throughout the evening. Cheers!
