We would like to be transparent with you as our honored guest, so we have compiled a list of questions that our guest may have for us regarding our wedding. We reserve the right to expel any guests attending our wedding who do not follow these guidelines and/or requests.

What happens if I fail to RSVP?

RSVP is critical in properly accommodating for food, seating, and parking for our guests, so we ask you that you RSVP as soon as reasonably possible.

What if I’m late?

We kindly ask that our guests arrive no later than the time specified on the invite. If you arrive late, that you will be asked to wait in the reception area until the ceremony concludes.

Will there be food served?

Water, lemonade, and tea will be served post- ceremony. After the bride and groom join the congregation post-ceremony, a Tex-Mex style dinner provided by Barberito’s will be served by a family friend. For those who do not wish to eat Tex-Mex style cuisine, Chick-Fil-A style nuggets will also be served with condiments.

Is there a dress code?

Yes- while the dress code will not be strict at our wedding, we would like for our guests to be dressed in business-casual attire at minimum- dresses/skirts for ladies, suit coats and dress pants for gentlemen are preferred. Ties are optional. If you do not own business casual attire, please dress as close to business casual as possible.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

While we understand that this day is exciting for our guests, we have decided that our ceremony will be unplugged- this means our photographer(s) and videographer(s) are the only people permitted to take pictures during the ceremony. Once it is over, feel free to take as many pictures as you’d like.

What about phones/electronics during the ceremony in general?

While we understand the importance of communication and entertainment, we ask that you be as present and quiet as possible during this time. Until the ceremony has concluded, please ensure all electronic devices capable of making noise are turned completely off or silenced to preserve the intimacy of this special moment.

Can I add someone to my invitation (AKA Plus One)?

We hand-picked each of our guests for our wedding, and we have not made the decision to do so lightly. In light of this, we ask that you do not bring any extraneous guests whose names were not specified in your invitation, and we appreciate your compliance in this matter.

Can I bring my children?

We have elected to make our wedding an adult- only wedding, with the exception of the flower-girl, ring-bearer, and Matron of Honor’s newborn. We would like for our guests that are parents to enjoy their evening with us uninterrupted! (Teenagers 13+ are welcome.)

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited at the venue of our wedding. Any guests observed bringing alcohol onto the venue property during our wedding will be promptly escorted back to their vehicles and instructed to leave.

Is smoking/tobacco allowed?

No; unfortunately no smoking or tobacco products are allowed

What is the expectation for conduct?

Due to the presence of very young children in our wedding party and out of respect for us, profanity/inappropriate language/behavior of any kind or severity is strictly prohibited at our wedding. ** Under no circumstances are guest to attend our wedding while intoxicated. Individuals that are found to be intoxicated at our wedding are subject to immediate removal from property**

Will I be given a chance to speak at the reception?

While we will be having many people at our wedding that would love to share their thoughts and stories, we have decided to limit reception remarks to the wedding party only (groomsmen, parents of the groom, bridesmaids, parents of the bride). Please feel free to share your remarks with each other and us post-reception.
