FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We welcome you and your guest to come as you are. That means you should wear what you feel comfortable with. Jeans and a button-down? Perfect! A gown and heels? Stellar! Wear what you'd like, but do keep the weather in mind as this event will be outdoors.

Question

This event will be outdoors. What if it rains?

Answer

We won't let afternoon showers rain on our parade and the party will go on. While the vent is outdoors, we will be under a tent.

Question

Will food or drinks be served?

Answer

We will offer a buffet dinner and two drinks per person. Live music and dancing will follow. Please select your meal choice when you RSVP, or contact Susan at 813.453.3379.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

There is a large parking lot at Keel & Curley Winery at Keel Farms at the corner of Thonotosassa Road and North Forbes Road. Please call Susan at 813.453.3379 should you have trouble finding the winery or parking on the day of the wedding.

Question

Should I bring a gift?

Answer

Your presence is our gift. That said, we want to raise funds for the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge-New Orleans. This nonprofit program relies on the generosity of donors like us to provide lodging, programs, and services to cancer patients and their caregivers who must travel away from home for treatment. Every $50 donated provides one free night of lodging to a guest. Your donation will help this incredible organization attack cancer from all angles by providing lifesaving care to those who need it most. A fundraiser jar will be available at the event. If you are interested in contributing, please bring cash or make checks out to "American Cancer Society Hope Lodge New Orleans." Alternatively, you can donate directly in honor of Susan Eckenrode and Raymond Halin: https://donate.cancer.org/?campaign=hopelodgeneworleans.
