Q + A

Is there a Friday rehearsal and rehearsal dinner?

No. Although it is customary for most forma weddings, we will just have a brief walk-through on Saturday morning before the ceremony. Continental breakfast (with Kolaches and breakfast tacos) will be served for the participants which includes the clergy, musicians, singers, hostesses, bridal and grooms party, and coordinator.

Is it too late to RSVP?

No. You can RSVP up to the morning before the ceremony.

Will dinner be provided at the reception?

No. The reception will be punch and cake (Cookies by Shala, coffee and water will also be provided) and provided immediately following the ceremony downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.

Is the dinner at Roger's Roadhouse part of the reception?

No. The event at Roger's Roadhouse is optional and "on your own" if you want to join the couple for food and drinks. This is just the venue/restaurant/bar that the couple will be attending. Some of the younger guests (Millennials and Gen Z) may be going out clubbing after dinner.

Will there be an after party?

No, however, the couple will be at Roger's Roadhouse from 6:00pm - 10:00pm for drinks and food if you want to join them. See the Millennial and Gen Z guest (Marissa, Marita, etc.) for clubbing options after dinner.

No. This is a suggested hotel that is 15-25mins away depending on traffic. You can stay anywhere close to the church and there are quite a few in all directions.
