Questions

What date should I RSVP by?

February 28, 2026. If you fail to RSVP by then, please plan to bring your own chair, a pizza, and a cookie.

Will there be alcohol?

No, this will be a sober event.

Will there be a shuttle to and from the church and dining hall?

Yes, upon request

Are plus ones and children allowed?

We have limited space, so plus ones are welcome by invitation only. However, children are welcome to come with their parents.

Where should we stay?

While we will not be reserving rooms, there are several hotels we recommend in the area. See more in the "Travel" section.

Is it ok to post pictures on social media?

Though we are thrilled that you would like to take pictures, we ask that you reserve posting to temporary stories and leave official posts to us!

Is there parking?

Yes, there will be parking available! However, parking will be limited and we encourage families to ride together.

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The wedding will be indoors!

What's the best airport to use?

Our wedding will be in a rural location, and a bit of driving from the airport will be necessary. We suggest you choose the airport that will best suit your needs. Here are a few options: - Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (CHO) - Richmond International Airport (RIC) - Dulles International Airport (IAD) - Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport (SHD)

Even after seeing the dress code, I still don't know what to wear!

No worries! Men: nice jeans, dress shirt, boots, and possibly a hat will look great. Women: long, flowy dress, and boots or dress shoes will look stunning. Most of all, we are just happy you will be there! You don't need to worry!

What will the weather be like?

Our wedding will be in the mountains in late March. This could mean spring weather or snow. Please keep this in mind.

What food will be served?

There will be a pizza bar, mac 'n' cheese, and salad.
