I see that the wedding is at a vineyard and winery, but I do not drink (or prefer not to drink). Will there be non-alcoholic options?

Absolutely. The location wasn't chosen for the wine, but instead for its stunning beauty. Weather permitting, we will be able to have the ceremony outside, and the cocktail hour and reception will also be able to take advantage of the lovely location.

For practicing Muslims, what will we do for prayer times on that day?

We have already planned for this! According to the schedule for the day, prayers times will be at 4:49PM (right before the ceremony), and then during the reception at 7:53PM and 9:17PM. Prayer rugs will be provided!

What kind of food will there be? I am concerned about keeping Halal.

While the menu has not been finalized, our caterer has assured us that he will keep Halal. There will be no pork served, and any meats will be Kosher/Halal.

What kind of food and beverages will be served for the cocktail hour and reception?

The cocktail hour will include charcuterie and a few warm, passed hors d'oeuvres. The reception will be buffet style, with a meat option, a seafood option, and a vegetarian option, along with salad, side dishes, wedding cake and other desserts. Water, tea, coffee, and soft drinks will be available for all. Details on the alcohol options will follow later.

What time should I arrive?

The official wedding ceremony start time will begin at 5PM; however, approximately 12 minutes prior to the ceremony there will be a time for Muslim prayer. Out of respect for the people choosing participating in this prayer time, we ask guests to arrive 15-20 minutes prior to the ceremony, and be respectful of the space where the prayer is occurring.

Is there parking at the facility?

Yes, there is, and the facility will be closed to anyone not associated with the wedding.

What will the wedding-day timeline look like?

The ceremony begins at 5PM on site. The ceremony should last approximately 30 minutes. The cocktail hour will take place immediately following. The dinner reception begins at 6:30. When the timeline is finalized, it will be shared.

I didn't see a registry set up; may I bring a gift to your wedding?

Your presence is present enough, but should you wish to bring a gift to our wedding, there will be a gift table for your convenience.
