Q & A
Dress Code
What is the dress code?
The official dress code is semi-formal - think cocktail attire.
Are there any specific colors that I should wear or avoid?
Any color attire is fine, we just ask that you do not wear colors that are traditionally reserved for the bride (ie: white, cream, ivory, etc.). Please avoid wearing jeans/denim.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding will be taking place both indoors and outdoors - we recommend keeping an eye on weather conditions so that you may plan your attire accordingly. The ceremony will be taking place in the grass so we recommend opting for a thicker heel.
Itinerary
When should I arrive?
The ceremony will be starting promptly at the time listed on your invitation so we request that guests start arriving 20-30 minutes prior to this to allow time for everyone to be seated.
RSVP
Can I RSVP online or do I mail in my RSVP?
We ask that you either RSVP online through the link listed on your invitation or by reaching out to Lauryn or Mitchell directly (Lauryn’s phone number will be listed on your RSVP card).
When do I need to RSVP by?
We ask that all RSVP responses be submitted by August 10th, 2024 to ensure that everyone coming has a seat reserved and dinner.
How do I RSVP on The Knot?
When you click on the RSVP tab on our website you will be prompted to enter your name (you can enter any name in your party). From there, you will be able to select those who will be attending individually. You will then hit submit and Lauryn and Mitchell will receive your responses :)
How will I know if I received a plus one?
When you go to RSVP for yourself, any/all plus ones will be listed under your invite - you will be able to RSVP for them at that time. Due to space restrictions at our venue, we will only be able accommodate those listed on the RSVP. We apologize for any inconvenience - please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Am I allowed to bring my children?
Children who have received invites will be listed under your name(s) on your RSVP. Due to space restrictions for our venue, we will only be able to accommodate those who are listed on the RSVP. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause - we really hope that you might consider making this a fun date night and come and celebrate with us.
Parking
Will there be parking available at the venue?
Yes! Our venue will have plenty of parking availability. If the parking lot is full, guests are permitted to line the paved driveway leading up to the venue.
You may leave your car overnight, but it must be retrieved the following day during the venue’s regular business hours of 9:00am - 2:00pm.
Will there be transportation available?
Due to the nature of our ceremony and reception taking place on the same property, there will be no need to for transportation between venues.
Food & Drink
What kind of food will be served?
We are so excited to announce that we will be serving Salsa Grille during our reception! We hope that this would allow for several meal options as each guest will have the opportunity to build a bowl or tacos how they would like. This allows for a vegetarian option. We will also have snacks available during cocktail hour.
Will there be an open or cash bar?
Our bar will be offering 2 signature cocktails and beer and wine for guests to enjoy :) no need for cash!
Registry
Could you give me a link to your wedding registry?
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ever ask for! We are registered at several different places - the easiest way to access these lists is to visit the "Registry" tab on our website.

We prefer that all wedding gifts be sent to the following address if not brought to the wedding:
171 Tumbling Stone Court
Fort Wayne, IN 46845
Feel free to also bring gifts to the wedding!
Photography & Videography
Can I take photos during the wedding?
We would prefer that all phones are put away and set on silent for the entirety of the ceremony. We want everyone to be able to fully enjoy this special moment with us and we want to allow our photographer be able to work and capture this memory. We highly encourage you to take as many photos and videos as you want during cocktail hour and the reception as we would love to see the evening from your point of view!
