FAQs

Question

Can we bring our children?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only, 21+ event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Question

Do I need to RSVP?

Answer

Yes, we kindly ask that you reply by the deadline listed on your invitation. Please RSVP no later than Sunday July 23rd. Please note that if we do not receive your RSVP by the deadline it will be counted as a no.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We suggest arriving around 1:45PM-2:00PM. We are asking that all guests are seated by 2:15PM as the ceremony will begin at 2:30PM.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony to post on social media?

Answer

We are having an “unplugged” ceremony! Our photographer will worry about getting the beautiful photos, so you don't have to! Please keep phones and cameras tucked away and silenced during the ceremony.

Question

What’s the dress code?

Answer

If we had to give it a title we would probably go with “semi-formal” or “garden party.” We want all of our guests to feel comfortable and confident, but we are asking that our guests refrain from wearing jeans, t-shirts, and outfits that are predominantly white. We can’t wait to see everyone dressed to impress! Here is a reference for garden party attire: https://blog.wedtexts.com/what-is-garden-party-attire-for-a-wedding/

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Please email our dedicated wedding email listed below prior to the RSVP date with any food allergies so we can make sure we have options suitable for all of our guests. Gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian meal options will be available.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

A cocktail hour will follow after the ceremony and the wedding party will be taking photos throughout the gardens. We encourage our guests to relax and enjoy the gardens before the reception begins.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both ceremony and reception will be outdoors. The reception space is covered in case of rain. We recommend guests avoid thin heeled shoes as you will have to walk on grass.

Question

Will transportation be provided? Is there easy parking at the venue?

Answer

We are not providing any formal transportation for the wedding. There is ample parking for those who feel comfortable driving. Please stay safe and default to a ride service or carpooling if you plan to drink.

Question

Do you have a gift registry?

Answer

While gifts are always appreciated, they are certainly not expected! For friends and family who have expressed an interest, we’ve created an online registry that can be accessed right here on our wedding website!

Question

There aren’t a lot of gifts on your registry, why?

Answer

As we have lived together for almost 5 years, there isn’t much we still need for our home! You’ll see a few things we would like to “upgrade,” along with cash funds for experiences we would love to have as a couple. There are also funds for the future and for our honeymoon that you may contribute to if you wish! We appreciate you taking the time to look at our registry and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Will there be food served?

Answer

Yes! We will be serving a full buffet style dinner during the reception, as well as providing appetizers during cocktail hour. We hope you like Mexican food! Our buffet will feature tacos, burritos, taco salads, and rice bowls and more!

Question

Will there be alcohol available?

Answer

A bar featuring signature cocktails, beer, and wine will be available for our guests and the drinks are on us! We do encourage tipping our lovely bartender for their wonderful service. Please remember to bring (valid, non-expired) ID if you are planning to drink. If you do not have your ID and the bartender asks to see it, you will not be served.

Question

Do you have a hotel block?

Answer

Since most of our guests are local, we have not reserved a block of rooms. We have listed some suggestions under the “where to stay” tab!

Question

What's the best way to contact you if I have additional questions?

Answer

We'll do our best to have any information you might need right here on our website, but if you have other questions, you can send them right to our email dedicated solely to our wedding! Arnoldwedding2023@gmail.com
