What should I wear to the wedding?
Our dress code is semi-formal/dressy casual. We want everyone to feel comfortable while still looking polished! For women, this could mean cocktail dresses, stylish skirts or jumpsuits, or dressy separates. For men, think dress pants with a button-down shirt or a nice polo, with or without a blazer. Ties are optional, and no need for full suits or gowns. We suggest avoiding jeans, shorts, or overly casual footwear. Dress to feel your best and be ready to celebrate with us!
How do I get onto Berry College Campus?
There are two entrances to Berry; please use the Guest Entrance with the gatehouse. Stay to the right to pass through the visitor entrance gatehouse and be prepared to show your ID to the attendant.
How do I get to the wedding ceremony venue?
Apple Maps and Google Maps provide accurate directions to Frost Chapel for the wedding ceremony. Additionally, you can visit Berry College’s website at (https://www.berry.edu/event-services/weddings/directions-and-parking) to download detailed directions to Frost Chapel.
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM. We recommend arriving 15 to 20 minutes early to allow time for parking, getting settled, and finding your seat before we begin. Additionally, the drive to Frost Chapel is about an extra 10-15 minutes from the campus entrance, so please keep travel time in mind! We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Is there parking close to the ceremony venue?
There is a parking lot conveniently located next to the chapel; however, please note that there’s a short walk up a hill from the lot to the chapel entrance. If you prefer to avoid the walk or have mobility concerns, you are welcome to be dropped off by car at the top of the hill near the chapel before the driver parks. We want everyone to arrive comfortably and safely!

We hope you come hungry and ready to enjoy!
Where should we send our wedding gift?
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you’d like to send a gift, you can use our wedding registry and have it shipped directly to our home. There will also be a place to put gifts at our reception.
Can I take pictures during the wedding?
We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos during the ceremony to allow everyone to fully enjoy the moment. However, feel free to take as many pictures as you’d like during the reception! We can't wait to see your beautiful photos from the celebration.
Am I allowed to bring a plus-one?
We are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding, as we'd like to keep the guest list just to those who know us well. Please bring just the people whose name is listed on your invitation!
Who should I contact if I have additional questions?
Before the wedding, it’s best to contact the side of the family that you know for any general questions. On the day of the wedding, if you have any immediate concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our coordinators or planners, who will be on hand to help. We want to make sure everyone has a wonderful time!
