FAQs

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Kindly RSVP before May 23, 2025. If you cannot attend, we will miss you, and would appreciate you letting us know at the soonest opportunity. Those that do not RSVP by May 23- we are so sorry you cannot make it! If you miss this date, we may be unable to accommodate your presence at the wedding, as we will send final head counts to vendors shortly after this deadline.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless it is specifically indicated on your invitation. For example, your envelope would list "(your name) & Guest". For families it will list "(your name) & Family" or "The (your last name) Family". When you RSVP you will be able to see the exact number of people you can RSVP for. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Question

Is there transportation being provided from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

NO, there will be no transportation from the hotels to the ceremony. Please make sure you plan accordingly when thinking about how you get to Cooper's Ridge. Be sure to have a designated driver who will be able to get you to and from the venue safely! Cars are not permitted to be left at the venue overnight. Please plan on carpooling with a designated driver, using Uber, or calling a taxi. Here is the number to a taxi company that will be able to take to and from the venue if you choose. You can also make a booking with them online before the wedding night. ABC Taxi: (573) 424-0589

Question

What attire should I wear?

Answer

The dress code is Semi-Formal. We recommend suit and tie & cocktail dresses. Please no jeans/denim and avoid shades of white. Additionally, the grass lawn is soft so re-think stilettos!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Question

Is seating random?

Answer

Nope! For the ceremony, sit wherever you please. However, for the reception we will be carefully arranging tables so our guests are sat with those they know (or their partner). You will be assigned a table and then will be able to find your seat at that table.

Question

I am coming from out of town. Where should I stay?

Answer

We are so excited that you traveled to enjoy our special day with us! Please check out the "Travel" section of our website for hotels to stay at, and things to do while you are in town! Thank you for coming!

Question

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones or cameras during the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony will be unplugged. For this, we ask all phones and cameras be put away and there to be no pictures or videos taken! You are more than welcome to take photos + vidoes throughout the course of the reception! This is such a special day for us and we have the most amazing photography team documenting our entire day, that way you are able to take it all in, celebrate, and be in the moment with us. There is a QR code on your program that will take you to a google photos album. We would love for you to upload the photos you take to share with us!

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but our reception will be indoors. There will be yard games outside during cocktail hour.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

There is complimentary guest parking at the venue.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Welcome to Missouri, all of you out-of-towners! The weather here can be funny. During the day, the weather in Columbia should be beautiful, but probably hot! The weather can get up into the 90's. The reception will take place inside, but we will have a fire going outside if you would like to spend some time outside.
