Yes! Even if you can't make it - we want to hear from you! Please RSVP by August 26, 2023 You can RSVP by clicking the RSVP tab. If we do not receive your RSVP by August 26, 2023, we will consider that you are unable to attend and while we are saddened you will miss our special day we need to plan accordingly with the venue.
The wedding will begin promptly at 3pm, please arrive no later than 2:45 pm to allow time to park, check your coat, and find the perfect seat. To keep from having any interruptions during the ceremony any guests arriving after the ceremony has started will be directed to wait in the lobby until cocktail hour has started. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation on our most important day.
While we love your children and weddings are all about family, due to restrictions we are held to a certain number of attendees. If your children were not specifically named on the invitation, or they are not listed on the RSVP - we want to encourage you to enjoy the night off from being a parent and have a great time celebrating with us!
Yes! The Elms Hotel is a preserved historic landmark and provides an intimate and romantic setting for Matthew and Sarah to say, "I do"! It is requested that formal attire be worn.
In order for our guests to be fully present with us during the most special moment of our lives, we are having an "unplugged ceremony". We request no phones be present during our ceremony. We have professional photographers and videographers who will capture those special moments and we wouldn't want cellphones to unintentionally take away from those moments. So please, tuck them away, grab a tissue, and be in the moment with us. We promise to share everything they capture during our ceremony with you! Of course, after the ceremony is over, we would love for you to help us capture our special day - getting all those candid and hilarious moments! We encourage you to snap away!
Of course! However, Matthew and Sarah will not be doing a first look - they ask that photos of the bride and groom not be posted until after the ceremony has completed!
The Elms does provide free shuttle services! The Elms does request you let them know when you anticipate the needs of the shuttle 24 hours in advance as the driver is not on site. Also, if you do need to rent a car - Matthew isn't writing this, but I know a guy who works for Enterprise Holdings... he might be able to get you a deal if you rather drive :)
Yes! The Elms Hotel and Spa offer's ample room for parking on site.
