Q + A

What is the dress code?

We would love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We request a semi-formal dress code for our wedding—no jeans, khakis, or T-shirts.

Are there any colors we should avoid wearing?

We kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams.

Can I bring a guest/date?

We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the people named on your invitation. Your invitation will be made out to each person invited (including your plus one if they have been invited).

Are kids invited?

We decided to keep our wedding a 16-year-old and up event and our reception an 18-year-old and up event (the only exceptions are the little ones in our bridal party). Your invitation will be made out to include each person in the family invited. We hope you understand and can take the opportunity to leave the kids at home, let loose, and use this night as a "date night."

When should I arrive for the ceremony?

Our ceremony will start at noon. We recommend arriving 30 minutes in advance to allow time for parking.

Where should I park for the ceremony?

Heinz Chapel is located in Oakland, which can be busy at times. Street parking will be blocked off for our guests, and the Pittsburgh Police Department will direct you where to park.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony (no phones or cameras) during the ceremony. We have hired professionals to capture this moment, so please allow them to do their best work. After the ceremony, take as many pictures and videos as you'd like. We'd love to see them and have you share them with us.

Where should I park for the reception?

Southpointe Golf Club has a lot we can utilize, and there is complimentary valet parking and a coat check service. However, we want to ensure our loved ones are safe! If you are drinking, please have a designated driver or use our complimentary shuttle to and from the AC Hotel by Marriott!

Is there transportation between the reception and hotels?

Yes! A complimentary shuttle will run between the reception venue and the AC Hotel by Marriott. Don't worry if you are staying at the Holiday Inn Express or Homewood Suites; these hotels are within walking distance of each other.

Will the wedding take place indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony and reception will both take place indoors. However, the reception venue has a beautiful outside patio with a fire pit and cornhole boards that we encourage guests to utilize!

Can I bring my own adult beverages?

The venue will supply alcohol and have a bartending service handle the beverages. Due to venue policies and regulations, you cannot bring any other alcoholic beverages on the premises.

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP by the date provided on the wedding invitation.

What should I do if I can't make it?

We will miss you! If you cannot attend our wedding, please let us know as soon as possible by using the RSVP tab so we can plan accordingly.
