Question
Parking Options/Information
Answer
If you are staying at one of our recommended hotels, parking is available at the hotel and the hotel is within walking distance of the venue (Next door or Across the street depending on which hotel you choose). If you are in another part of town, there is parking throughout the area that can be paid for both on the street and in lots/garages.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Absolutely! We encourage you to bring whomever you think would enjoy celebrating our night with us! Please feel free to bring a partner, friend, or anyone else who promises to help make the night fun! We will just need to be aware of whomever you are bringing who is not on the formal invitation to make sure we have food and drinks prepared to welcome them!
Question
Am I allowed to bring my children?
Answer
Ultimately you know your children best and can decide if this night will be fun and appropriate for them. What I can tell you is that the event will take place inside without a lot of room to run around, and will be focused on more adult-themed activities of drinking and dancing. There likely won't be too many children running around and there won't be many child-friendly activities. If your child is mature enough to enjoy this night then they are welcome, if not, then we kindly ask you to leave them at home, and make this a fun, adult-outing - for Parents only!
Question
What is the dress code for your wedding?
Answer
To answer this question, I'll start by saying that our venue and event are on the more elegant side of things with a beautiful ceremony and reception space that channels refined elegance. This is the greatest day of our lives and thus we'll be dressed to represent its significance. As such we request our guests to wear appropriate outfits. Somewhere on the scale of classy cocktail attire to more formal black-tie optional wear will fit in perfectly with the atmosphere of this event. Ultimately though, no one will be turned away at the door for not being properly attired, so if you don't have a good suit or dress, show up with what you got and be welcomed! Please also keep in mind that we have a diverse guest list from many different cultures. We thus ask our guests to dress in a respectful fashion that might be appropriate for different cultural standards. NOTE FOR OUR ACADEMIC FRIENDS: Shorts and flip flops are not the optional part of black-tie optional.
