Q + A
Where do I park?
Parking is free. There is a gravel lot with plenty of parking. Please try and park to the right of the venue to avoid blocking the front entrance of the venue and the entrance point for the ceremony.
What date should I RSVP by?
Please RSVP by February 22nd, 2026.
What is the address of the venue?
The ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue. The venue is called Bella Moon Barn. The address is 2300 County Road 155, Alvin, TX 77511
What is the easiest way to get to and from the venue?
The venue is just about a mile off of highway 35 in Alvin, Texas. The turn for the road off the venue is right after a curve so it may come up fast. The venue itself is on a large corner lot with a brown gate at the entrance.
Have you reserved blocks of rooms at a nearby hotel?
Given most of our guests are not coming from out of town, we have not reserved blocks of rooms at a hotel. If you are coming from out of town and need help finding a place to stay while you are in town for our wedding, please reach out to the bride or groom and they would be happy to assist you with finding accommodations.
Do I get a plus one?
Plus ones have been included with their names on the invitation envelope. There will not be any additional plus ones given unless the bride or groom specifically told you that you may bring a plus one. If you have someone that you would like to bring, please check with the bride or groom before the wedding to ensure we have a proper headcount and enough space to accommodate an extra person.
Can I bring my children to the wedding?
We have decided to have a child-free wedding. We hope you understand this decision and will still be able to join us on this special day.

What is the wedding day itinerary?
Guests may start arriving at 4:00 PM. (You will be outside during this time so plan accordingly or plan to arrive closer to the ceremony time.) The ceremony will start at 4:45, please ensure you are on time. Dinner service will begin at 6:45 P.M. At 8:30 P.M. the couple will be doing a fake exit due to photography coverage ending. Guests will be asked to make their way outside with the sparklers and leave personal belongings inside since you will be returning to continue the celebration. The night will end around 11:00 P.M. with a private last dance from the bride and groom.
Is it okay if I take photos of the cermony?
The bride and groom do not want phones out during the ceremony as they have hired a photographer to capture all of the moments. Cell phones sticking out in the aisle may get in the way of the photographer's photos. So we kindly ask you not to take any photos or videos during the ceremony.
Can I post wedding photos on social media?
We kindly ask that you do not post photos on social media as the bride and groom would like to post before others. There will be opportunities for you to take photos and share them with the bride and groom during cocktail hour and during the reception.
