Our wedding dress code is semi-formal or dressy casual attire. We ask our guests to dress accordingly as we want everyone to be comfortable and look their best! Our wedding colors are black, white, gold, and natural greenery. We do ask that women refrain from wearing white or ivory but all of our guests are otherwise welcome to wear any colors that make them feel their best. We ask that our guests refrain from wearing denim or flip flops to the event. Please note that the ceremony will be held outside and will involve walking through some grass. Some women's sharper heels will sink into the grass.
If your guest's name is listed on your invite or you have a plus one option listed when you RSVP, then yes! Otherwise, we would love to keep our wedding as intimate as possible as we celebrate with our closest friends and family.
As we finalize our guest list, we wanted to let you know that we have chosen to have only young adults and adults at our wedding. We hope you can understand that we adore all the children in our lives, but have chosen to keep our wedding more intimate. We realize that this may impact your plans and we want to make sure that you have plenty of time to arrange childcare. We hope you will still be able to join us for our special day and we looking forward to celebrating with you! Thank you for your understanding and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Your presence on our big day is the only gift we truly need. With this in mind, we have chosen to forgo a traditional registry. We understand that many of you may still wish to give us a gift to commemorate the occasion, but please know that this is completely optional. Due to our unique situation, we are all set on household items and have instead chosen to set up a Honey Moon Fund for those who wish to contribute. All monetary gifts will go toward our dream European honeymoon early next year! Please visit the registry tab for more info!
We ask that all guests arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony time to ensure that everyone has time to mingle and get seated before the ceremony begins.
Yes! There is a paved parking lot at the Greenwood Oaks venue. At arrival, someone will greet you and direct you where to go. If you require special accommodations, we have likely already noted this to our venue staff, but please let them know at arrival as well to ensure that you are comfortable and safe on our big day. **Please note that the venue does not allow vehicles to be left overnight so please plan accordingly.
We will be taking music requests on the night of the wedding following the dinner, speeches, and traditional dances. After the reception, we plan to have an after party with music that may not be appropriate for all audiences. We understand that some of our guests may have different music preferences, but we kindly ask that everyone respects our choice of music and joins us in having a good time. We want all of our guests to enjoy themselves at our wedding, but we understand that some guests may not feel comfortable with the music selection and overall environment of the after party. If you feel that the music is not to your liking, we kindly ask that you feel free to excuse yourself and enjoy the rest of the evening in a quieter setting. Weather permitting, the back patio will be available.
Dinner will be provided following the ceremony with fried chicken as the main entree. We do not have vegetarian options for the entree so please keep this in mind as you plan for your attendance. Alcoholic beverages will be served beginning after the ceremony until 9 pm. We will have an open bar with beer and wine but no liquor is allowed on the premises. Per our contract, all guests must leave the venue by 10pm, so we kindly ask that you arrange a ride if you feel you cannot safely drive home at that time.
