Q + A

Is there a dress code?

Yes! Our wedding will have a semi-formal cocktail attire dress code. We can't wait to see you dressed up! No jeans, please!

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the ceremony start time to find parking and your seat. The ceremony will begin at 2 PM, so plan to arrive by 1:45 PM.

What if I didn't RSVP in time?

If we do not receive your RSVP by April 5th, it will automatically be marked as "Not Attending". We will miss celebrating with you, but we must provide vendors with a final guest count within the time they have requested. Thank you for understanding!

Can I bring a guest?

Unfortunately we cannot accommodate additional guests, we can only accommodate those formally invited on your invitation. Your invitation will be addressed as [Your Name] + [Guest] if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding!

What should I do in between the ceremony and cocktail hour?

Guests will have around an hour and a half between the ceremony and cocktail hour. We recommend heading towards the reception location where you can park and grab a drink at a nearby bar. Great options within walking distance include 30hop, Magee's Irish Pub & Eatery, Whiskey River, and District 36 Wine Bar & Grille. For those arriving in town on Saturday, this is also a convenient opportunity to check into your hotel, if needed.
