FAQs
Question
What's the wedding dress code?
Answer
Summer Dressy! Suits and ties, dresses and jumpsuits. We want to see everyone looking fantastic! Ladies, feel free to wear white since we won’t be. Brightly-colored attire is welcome, jeans are not.
Question
How does a New Orleans-style reception work?
Answer
There will be no assigned tables, just a few reserved for family and those guests that need a place to land. We'll open the bar, the band will begin, and dancing will get started right away after the ceremony. As the buffets and food stations open, you can grab a plate and a seat at any open table. Make friends and sit with someone you don't know or haven't seen in a while. When you're ready, get back out on the dance floor or take another break for bites! Appetizers will begin at approximately 5:00p, dinner at 6:00p, and dessert at 7:00p. We will be labeling any pork or nut products, and there will be vegetarian options.
Question
Will you have transportation to the event?
Answer
Yes! A coach bus will make 2 departure trips to the venue originating in front of the AC Marriott Madison Downtown at 3:00p and 3:30p. It will return guests in the evening as the reception comes to a close (at approximately 9:00p, 10:00p, 11:00p). We request that family aim for the departure 3:00p first to spread out passengers.
