FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
As soon as possible, latest is February 20th.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Formal/Black-Tie Optional. The bride or the groom are not afraid of being upstaged, so go all out. This may be Austin, but we want you to dress up! We want main character energy from all of you. As far as shoes, it is an outdoor ceremony (on paved patio stones) and cocktail hour (on grass) so stilettos might sink. Reception will be indoors.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Ceremony starts promptly at 4:30pm. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to ensure it all goes on schedule and we can capture dreamy sunset pictures.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Of course! I have accounted for all of your children in the headcount, if you’d rather dance the night away and have a date night out, just let us know when you RSVP.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes, there is on-site parking available. There is a small little uphill walk, and there are a few handicap spots right in front. Let us know if you need special accommodations.
Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
If you plan on just exploring the downtown area, then you don’t need to. Austin doesn’t have great public transportation, so you’d have to use rideshare services. Otherwise, we do recommend renting a car. The wedding is in Dripping Springs, about 20 min outside of Austin.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes, please let us know as soon as possible! Call or text either of us.
