Is there an RSVP deadline?
Yes, please make sure to RSVP by June 10th.
Is there a dress code for the wedding?
We want it to be colorful! We would recommend solid colors and formal attire. Please stay away from black and white!
For men anything is acceptable from polo to suit attire, but we would prefer a suit or fancy polo.
What type of shoes should I wear?
Although much of the venue is paved, we recommend wearing comfortable footwear. There will be some walking on grass and uneven ground, so stilettos may not be ideal. If you're set on heels, go with block heels for a better experience. :)
Can I bring a plus-one?
We’re currently at our maximum guest count, so unless we’ve specifically mentioned you can bring a plus-one, there may not be space. That said, feel free to text us just in case—we’d love to accommodate if we’re able to!
Can I take photos or will it be an unplugged wedding?
We will want the ceremony to be unplugged. While there will be moments during the rest of the evening when we’re happy for guests to take photos, we kindly ask that you keep your devices away during most parts of the celebration. Thank you for respecting this!
How far is the venue from the airport?
It is approximately a 52 minute drive from the airport.
Is there a place for people to store coats and bags during the event?
We recommend leaving any coats or bags in your car, as your vehicle will be conveniently close to both the ceremony and reception areas.
Do I need to bring sunscreen or bug repellent?
We recommend applying sunscreen before you arrive and keeping bug spray in your car, just in case you need it throughout the evening.
Are there any nearby hotels you recommend for out-of-town guests?
We’ve reserved a block of rooms at the SpringHill Suites in Mt. Lebanon, PA, which is conveniently located near both the Dolgos and Smith families. The hotel is approximately a 52-minute drive from the venue.

Will the ceremony still be held outdoors if it rains?
Yes! The ceremony will remain outdoors, but umbrellas will be provided for guests. In the event of heavy rain, the ceremony may be delayed or moved to a covered area.
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
We kindly ask that guests arrive between 3:30 and 3:45 PM, as the ceremony is scheduled to begin promptly at 4:00 PM. Arriving a bit early will give you plenty of time to park, find your seat, and get settled before the celebration begins.
Is there an opportunity for guests to mingle or socialize before the ceremony begins?
You're absolutely welcome to say hello and catch up with friends and family upon arrival! We just kindly ask that all guests be seated by 3:50–3:55 PM, about 5 to 10 minutes before the ceremony begins at 4:00 PM, so we can start right on time.
Will there be fans on for the ceremony and reception?
There will most likely not be fans, so wear what you think you will be most comfortable in for what the weather says.
Will there be a full meal or just snacks?
A full buffet-style meal will be served for dinner, and there will also be some snacks around during social hour.
Will there be a kids' meal option?
While there won't be a specific kids' meal, there will be a variety of food options, so every child should be able to find something they’ll enjoy!
