Q + A

Question

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

Answer

The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will be held on-site at Black Butte Ranch's lodge. Our ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside on a lawn area, and our reception will be inside the lodge.

Question

What is the wedding day timeline?

Answer

We will begin our ceremony at 4:00pm. Cocktail hour will begin at 4:30pm and dinner will be served at 6:00pm. Last dance will be at 9:30pm. We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes before our 4:00pm ceremony time to give yourself enough time to park and find your seat. This will help us stay on schedule, too!

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

There is free parking at the Black Butte Ranch right outside the Lodge Restaurant where the ceremony and reception will take place. If you're staying within Black Butte Ranch, the venue may be walkable!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We are requesting cocktail attire (semi-formal) for our wedding. Be yourself, be comfortable, and bring a jacket for when the sun goes down!  We suggest not wearing stiletto heels as the lawn area at the ceremony and cocktail hour may be uneven or wet.

Question

Can I take photos or videos?

Answer

We have hired amazing photographers to capture our day! Although we appreciate that you might want to snap some pictures during the ceremony, we ask that you honor our "unplugged ceremony" request and keep your phones and cameras in your pockets. We promise to share ALL the photos with you after the wedding! Feel free to take photos during cocktail hour and the reception (and share them with us!).

Question

When should I RSVP?

Answer

If you are able to RSVP when you receive your invitation, that would be great and very helpful! Our last date to RSVP is April 1, 2023. Our vendors require us to provide head-counts by this date so any unanswered RSVP's will be counted as "No".

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If you have a guest option on your RSVP, then yes! Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding as an intimate event with close family and friends. Thanks for understanding!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you - get ready to celebrate!
