Please dress in cocktail party attire. Please do not wear jeans. And - for the love of all things sacred, ladies, please do NOT wear white, cream or ivory.

We are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. If your invitation does not specify "and guest" you will not be permitted to bring a plus one. We look forward to celebrating with you on our big day!

We have decided to have adults only at our wedding.

The majority, if not all of the event, will take place indoors. However, if we are blessed with good weather, we will make the decision to have the ceremony outdoors. In addition, there will be outdoor seating via the cocktail hour room in the event anyone needs to go outside for fresh air.

5:00 Arrival 5:30 Ceremony 6:00 Cocktail Hour 7:00 Reception 11:00 Departure After Party - TBD

Absolutely! There is a ramp to enter the facility, and an elevator to escort you downstairs. Once downstairs, you will not have to come upstairs for any reason, until you depart.

We have hired two professional photographers and a content creator to capture how the ceremony looks, we have invited you so you may capture how the ceremony feels. We would prefer if it turn off your electronics during our ceremony to ensure you are in the moment and not in the way of our photographers and content creator. After the ceremony is complete and the wedding party has exited, you may turn on your devices and take pictures of whatever you wish!

Our cocktail hour will include passed hors d'oeuvres, as well as a hot and cold display of a variety of delicious foods. Come hungry! Our bar will consist of unlimited beer, wine and soda. We will have "signature" drinks at the wedding, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

We will note this in our response cards, although we are pretty sure we know everyone's restrictions. We WILL offer a large variety of gluten free and vegeterian options. Upon request, any of our guests can be served a Kosher meal in lieu of their plated dinner.

There will definitely be an amusing interpretation of it, that's for sure! We hired someone to play music for your entertainment.

We sure do! Please visit www.theknot.com/theonewiththefrancescos, and click on "registry".

Our wedding hashtag is #theonewiththefrancescos (for those who have never watched "FRIENDS", every episode begins with "The One with/where..." and we played off of that! Also, on every table, there will be a QR code where you can upload photos right to our site!

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

Yep, you have to RSVP. For the sake of our sanity, please use the RSVP link at the top or the QR Code on the wedding invitation. It is far easier for us than dealing with 50 forms of communication for RSVPing. If you are having issues with RSVPing online, please email us at mrscfran@gmail.com

We understand things come up. Just call us right away. You have at least one of our phone numbers.
