Q + A

What time should we arrive to the ceremony?

Because the ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 pm, we recommend you arrive at 4:00 pm to ensure you are able to enter and be seated before the ceremony begins. Once the ceremony begins, no one will be allowed to enter. Doors will be closed at 4:50pm! No EXCEPTIONS!

Where will the ceremony and reception be held?

The ceremony and reception will both be held at the same location.

Is there a dress code?

Yes there is! We’d love to see our family and friends dress up with us for our big day. The dress code is formal attire. Ladies are encouraged to wear floor length dresses and gentlemen are encouraged to wear a suit and tie. Please no club nor casual attire.

Are there any colors or styles you want me to wear?

We strongly encourage our guests wear neutral tones (brown, dark brown, tan, rust, coffee brown colors).

Are there any colors we should avoid wearing?

We kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories and creams.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited space and seating, we will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. If your invitation includes more than one name, additional names will appear under your name when you RSVP. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Are children welcome?

We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. While we love all children who are in our lives, we have decided that the only children allowed are those in the wedding. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Can I take photos and videos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that you do not have your phones or cameras out during the ceremony as we will be having an unplugged ceremony. Our photographers and videographers will be capturing the ceremony. Most importantly we want you to be present during the ceremony. There will be an opportunity where you will be allowed to take photos.

Can I take photos and post to social media?

No, we would appreciate it if all photos and videos are not shared until the day after the wedding. We hope everyone will be present and too busy enjoying the day to post anything.

Is there onsite parking?

Yes there is free onsite parking.

When is the deadline for the RSVP?

Please RSVP by October 22, 2024 as no changes will be made after that date. If you do not respond by this date, we will assume that you are unable to attend.

What if I am not able to make it?

Although we would love to have you celebrate with us, you will surely be missed. Please respond to the RSVP “Will not attend.” If you have already selected you will be attending and plans changed, please notify Tanya at 1-855-234-7223.

Is there a bar?

Yes! However, it is a cash bar. Please grab your loose change and enjoy the night.
