FAQs & Important Details

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Again, we realize this is not the traditional way people remember RSVPing to a wedding. This is 2024, so we advise getting use to this change because you will be seeing it more in the future. With that being said, we are not trying to make this difficult on anyone. If you made it this far, you are on the right track. We tried to make our wedding website as simple as we could. Everyone that received an invitation in the mail, also received a QR code in that invitation. To activate a QR code, simply hover your phone (with the camera app on) over the code and a link should pop up on your phone. Follow the instructions on your phone from there.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We are requesting everyone RSVP by June 10th.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

No. We are currently not registered anywhere. However, we have set up a honeymoon fund on this website for those who chose to contribute. You, by no means, are obligated to contribute. Other than this, we will have a traditional envelope box at our venue.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

You should arrive at our venue no earlier than 5:30pm and no later than 6:15. Doors open at 6, or shortly before hand. Our wedding ceremony will be QUICK, meaning over by 6:30pm or shortly after that.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We realize our wedding is in one of the year's hottest months. However, we are asking everyone to dress semi-formal. While tuxes and gowns are welcome, cocktail dresses, or even sundress are okay with us. Obviously nothing white or you will be denied entrance and possibly arrested. We want you to be comfortable, but please no sweats or loungewear. Our entire wedding is inside. Sidenote: Addison's favorite color is black, if it were up to her, she would request everyone wear black that day if she could since she cannot.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unless told otherwise, no. Feel free to check with Addison though, if you dare.

Question

Are kids welcome? If so, what is the age cut off and will alcohol be served?

Answer

Unless your name is Camden Sloan or Alora Riegner, no children under 14 years of age should attend the ceremony or reception. It was a tough decision for both sides, but we agreed bringing young children to a "party vibe" wedding down Pittsburgh's Southside wasn't the best or very kid friendly scenario. Yes, alcohol will be served, and our DJ's music WILL NOT be censored. Young adults under 21 years of age have been invited. NO UNDERAGE DRINKING PLEASE. Jordan and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

No, we opted to not block off rooms at a hotel. However, Hyatt House Pittsburgh- Southside and SpringHill Suites by Marriott are within walking distance of our venue. Followed by a Holiday Inn Express further down. Pittsburgh's Southside is a popular place to visit with a quite a few hotel options nearby if you decide staying at a hotel is a better option for you then driving home. Also, just ask Jordan how dangerous downtown Pittsburgh can be, especially at nighttime. Many police officers will be present at this event as both guests and working, including an armed ON-DUTY officer required by our venue. Do not Drink and Drive. Make safe decisions. We love you.

Question

Is this going to be a sit-down dinner or buffet style? If a food allergy is an issue, can I make a special request?

Answer

We are having a buffet style dinner and cocktail hour, so you will not see an option on the invitation/rsvp for a meal choice. We took into consideration that everybody has different restrictions/preferences on food. Addison is more of a herbivore, and Jordan is more of a carnivore. We will have a large variety of choices. Please contact Jordan, Addison, or Nicole if a food allergy is of concern or needs to be addressed.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

When you arrive at our venue, do not panic (like both our mothers did!). Parking is limited! That is why we opted for VALET PARKING to make everyone's lives easier! We want to make sure everyone is aware and takes advantage of this service! Sidenote: Tip your valet drivers, tip your bartender. Also, don't judge our venue by its cover ;)

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Sadly, yes. We were not aware till much later in our wedding planning process that Picklesburgh will be happening the same weekend as our wedding. Most of that event will be happening on the other side of the city, but please keep in mind our wedding is a non-traditional Friday night ceremony and we are aware many of you will still be heading to work that day. Traffic could become an issue depending on what direction you are coming from. Factoring in additional commute time may be necessary in order to be on time. Doors will lock when the "I do's" start. Doors will reopen when cocktails begin before the reception. Sidenote: If you decide to break in and disturb the ceremony, you'll immediately be detained and arrested by our on-duty Pittsburgh police officer. Just kidding....or are we?
