FAQs

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

RSVPs must be in by May 18th, 2024. You can RSVP directly on this website for you or your family by just typing in your name on the RSVP page. Please RSVP by the deadline as the RSVP page will close and anyone who has not RSVP'd will be considered as not coming.

Question

How should I RSVP if I'm not sure if I'm coming or not?

Answer

Please RSVP as "coming" until you know whether or not you will be attending. If you RSVP "no" and then change your mind, please do so by May ... or you won't have a place to sit.

Question

Will there be any events I'm supposed to attend before or after the wedding?

Answer

Unless you are attending the rehearsal dinner, there is nothing else you need to worry about except showing up and showing out on the wedding day.

Question

Will there be transportation to the reception site?

Answer

Unfortunately we will not be able to provide transportation for all of our guests to the reception site. We have ensured that the drive from the ceremony location will be no more than 10 minutes.

Question

Will there be parking available?

Answer

Yes there will be parking available at both the ceremony and reception location. The ceremony location (hotel) has a limited parking lot that will be first come, first serve and a paid parking garage. The reception location has a free open parking lot.

Question

What time do I have to get there?

Answer

The wedding ceremony starts promptly at 3 pm, no CPT.

Question

What is the weather going to be like?

Answer

Hot. Probably. But we can't guarantee that and we can't guarantee that there won't be rain. Georgia is a lot like Florida so we go where the weather takes us. The event will be held exclusively inside though so, no matter the weather, we'll be good.

Question

Is the wedding outside or inside?

Answer

It's summer time in Atlanta, Georgia, we will most definitely be inside in the A/C !!

Question

Can I bring my kid/s?

Answer

No, sorry. No children that are not explicitly invited can come to the ceremony or reception. Also, no children under the age of 12 can attend the ceremony or reception. If they can't grab their own plate of food and can't keep themselves entertained while we party, we love them, but they can't come.

Question

Do I have to wear a certain color?

Answer

No. If you would like to match the color scheme of the wedding, the colors are burgundy, gold, white, and black.

Question

Will there be drinks?

Answer

Yes! We are having an open bar so drink up but PLEASE drink responsibly

Question

Can I take pictures/ record the ceremony

Answer

We appreciate that everyone will be as excited for the wedding as we are, but we are asking for an "unplugged" ceremony. That just means we want everyone to sit and be in the moment with us and not worried about capturing the moment on camera. There will be a brief moment (announced by the officiant) during the wedding where everyone will have a chance to get a picture of the bride and/or groom before they walk down the aisle. Other than that we want to see our faces, not your phones. We have 2 photographers and a videographer that will be at the ceremony to make sure we get every angle and there will be plenty of photo opportunities after the wedding and during the reception.

Question

Will there be a live stream of the wedding?

Answer

We know that there are a lot of people very special to us that won't be able to attend the wedding so, if we are able to, we will be live-streaming the ceremony so that as many people as possible get to share in our special day even if they couldn't be there in person. If there is a live stream, everyone will be informed no later than the day before the wedding (06/12) and the link will be posted on the home page of this website on the day of the wedding.

Question

What's going to be for dinner

Answer

The full menu is located under the reception tab of the event schedule. However, basically there will be appetizers (chicken skewers), fancy grilled chicken, salmon, potatoes, and vegetables.

Question

Will there be any vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free options available?

Answer

There are not any vegan or gluten free options available and the only vegetarian choices will be the side dishes. If there are any dietary restrictions or allergies that the bride and groom do not know about, feel free to contact them so that accommodations can be made.

Question

Do we bring the gift to the wedding or just ship it to you?

Answer

Do what makes you happy. If you would like to bring the gift with you and add that personal touch, we would love and appreciate that. If you would rather just send it straight to us, just make sure your name is on it so we know who to thank!

Question

What time is the reception over?

Answer

The reception will be over by 11:00 PM, but please don't feel obligated to stay that long. Party till you can't no more, whatever that means to you

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

The answer can be found on the "schedule" page under ceremony and reception. But the short answer is, black tie or semi-formal attire.

Question

Why is there a gap between the ceremony and the reception and what am I supposed to do in the meantime?

Answer

The gap between the reception and ceremony will be due to pictures. The bride and groom want to remember this day forever and want to make sure they can get plenty of pictures with their loved ones as well. While this is happening, feel free to either head to the reception site or stick around if you want to be in a picture too.

Question

Will there be a wedding hashtag?

Answer

Right now, no. But if that changes the information can be found here in this section of the FAQ page.

Question

Can I post on social media?

Answer

Yes! Feel free to post whatever pictures you take of yourself, of the venue, or of the bride and groom whenever you want. Just not during the ceremony

Question

Will there be a cocktail hour?

Answer

Yes, and there will be food and drinks passed around during the cocktail hour for everyone to enjoy. The cocktail hour will be happening at the reception site starting at 5 PM for anyone who would like to head over after the ceremony.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

The guest list was carefully created and everyone who's been invited is there because they mean the world to us. We want to create a special day that is filled with family and love so we ask that only those that we love, be in attendance.

Question

Are you taking any precautions against covid?

Answer

There will not be any specific covid precautions in place but we encourage everyone to wash their hands, use hand sanitizer, and mask up if you feel uncomfortable at any time. And if you're feeling sick, (with love) DON'T COME.

Question

I'm staying in the city after the wedding is over, what should I do?
