FAQs

The Wedding Website of Giselle Binette-Essex and Lawrence Gomez Jr.
Question

Where do I park?

Answer

There is street parking, but the venue asks for us not to take up a lot of it since there are many surrounding neighbors. That being said, Uber, Lyft or car pooling with your loved ones is always a better choice!

Question

How long will this be?

Answer

Of course we have a set timeframe for how we would like for everything to go, but sometimes things don't go as planned. That being said, what IS certain is that your guest arrival is at 3:00pm and the latest arrival is 3:20pm. Our ceremony starts promptly at 3:30pm and should only take 20-30 minutes, possibly less. This isn't a traditional wedding so things will be a bit faster and more free flowing. Dinner is not assigned seating. Food will be available starting at 4/4:15pm. You are free to grab food whenever you want! You can grab multiple plates throughout the night if you'd like! Dancing will start whenever you'd like to hit the dance floor! The DJ will announce us once it's time for our entrance which should be right at 5:00pm. Our entrance will be us coming down the stairs together to a song we both love. We encourage you to already be on the dance floor so we can dance with you too! This is not our "first dance" but it's our celebratory dance with guests! After that dance, the DJ will ask everyone to clear some room for our official first dance. Once we are done, the dance floor is YOURS until 9pm! The wedding is only 6 hours!

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

No. This is an alcohol and drug free wedding. Please do not come buzzed, drunk, high, etc. Do not sneak in any alcohol or drugs. We both believe in sobriety and would appreciate for our guests to partake in sobriety for our special day. If you can't do that, please do not attend.

Question

Where's the registry?

Answer

We don't have one! We do not want gifts. Just show up! That is your gift to us!

Question

Can I bring other friends along?

Answer

No. Only those invited are allowed in. Please do not bring a plus 1, a group of friends, etc.

Question

What to wear?

Answer

DO NOT wear: Black, Red or Grey. DO wear: Orange, Burgundy, Purple, Dark Purple or Dark Green. Grey & Black PANTS are okay! DO NOT wear: a gown/floor length dress. knee length dresses are OKAY!
