When should we RSVP by?
In order to plan accordingly, we are asking that you RSVP a month and a half in advance from the wedding. Therefore, the RSVP deadline will be June 13th, 2025. Unfortunately, if you fail to RSVP by this deadline, we will be unable to accommodate you. There will be no exceptions to this.
Are kids allowed?
Please no kids! Whomever is listed on your invitation is who is invited. We want you to enjoy the wedding with us! We do not want you worrying about your kids the entire night. This goes for both the ceremony and reception.
Am I allowed a plus one?
If your invitation says you may bring a plus one, yes! Due to budget, we will not be able to accommodate plus one's for everyone, and we want to know everyone there! If your invitation is only you and are worried about coming alone, chances are, there is someone else you know going, and who you will be seated with. If you have concerns, you may contact the bride and groom.
What should I wear?
Please follow the dress code closely! Please dress in black and attempt to avoid patterns if you can! We want everyone dressed their best, so please no jeans, sweatshirts, t-shirts/polos, sneakers, hats, etc. It is semi-formal attire! For the ladies- tea length or floor length dresses. For the men- dress pants and a button up, with a tie or jacket if you please. If wearing a jacket, a white button up is okay. If not, we would prefer if you wore black on black.
Where can we stay?
Luckily, there is a hotel located right across from the venue! (literally walking distance) We have a block of rooms reserved for a discounted rate. For more information, visit our travel tab. There are plenty of other places to stay in Oconomowoc! Please, if you do not intend on staying the night, ensure you have a safe way home!
What time should I be there?
We are inviting everyone to both the ceremony and reception! If you are coming to the ceremony, we encourage you to show up early. It will begin at 4:30PM sharp. Anyone who is not there by 4:30 will not be allowed into the room, and thus, will have to wait until the ceremony is over. After the ceremony there will be a cocktail hour, with the reception beginning at 6PM.
Where is your registry?
There is a registry tab on our website that will take you directly to it! Our registry may look a little different- with us living in apartments, we have acquired a lot of things we need to live. This is why we are asking for donations towards our honeymoon! This registry allows you to directly put your money towards a specific thing like a flight, hotel, excursion, etc towards our honeymoon! We appreciate each and every contribution, no matter how big or small!
What if I have a food allergy?
In your RSVP, there will be an option for you to add any special requests, so we can let our caterer know. Please keep in mind that we will try our absolute hardest to accommodate everyone's needs.
Is there an open bar?
Due to budget, we will be unable to do an open bar. Drinks will have to be paid for via card transactions. If you'd like to tip our amazing bartending staff, please do so in cash! Beer, wine, and liquor can all be purchased at the bar.
When do I need to leave?
Music will end at midnight, and everyone must be completely out of the venue by 1AM. Our venue and their staff is amazing, please do not make the 1AM out time difficult!!
How can I RSVP?
Please RSVP using the online link. Please do not mail back your invitation as it is simply that- an invite! We will be keeping track of everything and everyone, virtually.
Where can I park?
There is parking at the venue! However, it is limited, so consider carpooling! For those who are staying at the hotel across the street, we recommend you parking there, and just walking over, leaving room for those who are not staying close by.
What can we do in town?
Please visit our things to do tab! We have done some research on some exciting things to do if you chose to make a trip out of your stay! We hope you enjoy the area.
Are there any pre or post wedding events?
We are choosing to host an intimate rehearsal before the wedding, and we will be heading out on our honeymoon directly after the wedding, thus, there will be no other events. We hope sharing our special day with you will be what you hoped!
Is the wedding going to be indoors or outdoors?
Both! The reception and ceremony will both be held indoors; however, our cocktail hour is going to be held outside in order to give the amazing staff the opportunity to flip the room around for us, and get the dance floor ready! Please ensure on the day of, once the ceremony concludes you make way outside. We will have games and food ready for you!
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes! We chose a venue that could accommodate each and every one of you. If you have any special concerns, please do not be afraid to reach out.
Can I take pictures and videos?
Yes please, with exceptions! We are kindly asking that during the ceremony, everyone's phones are away. We have hired an amazing photographer who will be there to capture the same special moment you are (but with a really fancy nice camera that is much better than your iPhone). We also ask that until we share our photos on social media, you keep yours to yourself. We want to be able to show off OUR wedding first, those facebook posts can wait a couple days!!
I RSVP yes to coming, but things came up and I cannot make it anymore. What should I do?
We are so sorry you will not be able to come, and you will be missed! We kindly ask you let either the bride, groom, best man, or maid of honor know so we can accommodate accordingly.
I have a question that isn't answered here! What do I do?
You may kindly reach out to the best men, maid of honor, or parents of the bride and groom. They will be able to answer your question, and if not, they will let us know, and we can get back to you!
