Q + A

Can I text or call Qualina or James with my RSVP?

No, all RSVPs must be computed on our website only.

Can I add a plus one with my RSVP?

No, if your invitation did not say “ Mr and Mrs…” or “John Doe & Guest”, do not bring a guest.

Are children allowed at this event?

No children are allowed to at our wedding except our own children or the children participating in the ceremony.

Will the wedding be outdoors?

Yes, the ceremony will take place outdoors in the garden. The reception will have options of being indoors or outdoors the entire night.

Where should the guests go immediately following the ceremony?

Please remain in the garden until after James and Qualina has had the first view of the reception room. Once James and Qualina, along with the wedding party exits the garden, guests will be allowed to mingle while appetizers are being served. Do not interrupt the picture taking. If you need to go to your car or the bathroom, please go inside the reception area. The bathrooms are located right outside the doors. Do go to the parking lot, the stairs are on the right near the bathrooms.

Who is allowed to be a part of the photos immediately following the ceremony.

Only the bride, groom, our children, the wedding party, and our parents. Everyone will have a chance to take pictures with the couple after dinner. DO NOT INTERRUPT WHILE WE ARE EATING!

How is the parking?

The parking is self serve. There is no valet. I advise you to come 30 mins early for a good parking spot. If the parking lot is full (due to another party ) there is parking across the street on that side street.

Is this Venue Handicap accessible?

Yes, when entering through the fountain area and around back there are no stairs. However, if you are coming through the front, there are stairs leading down to the reception area.

What should I wear?

This is a formal event but please be yourself, just think Royalty. However, DO NOT wear the colors Red, Gold or Champagne.

How Should We RSVP For Our Dinner Choices?

Dinner will be buffet style with an appetizer mingle hour filled with delicious choices, main course with different meats, sides, vegetables and more for everyone's enjoyable, and lastly cake and dessert.
