FAQs

Question

Are Kids Invited to the Reception?

Answer

Although we love the kids, the reception is a 21 and up event. We would love for you to take the night off and enjoy a kid-free evening.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation has a specific guest name listed then yes, if not, please bring yourself.

Question

May I swap out my plus one guest and bring someone other than the guest listed on the invitation?

Answer

We hate to hear that the guest listed on your invitation as a plus one cannot attend. We created our guest list with love and with the two of you in mind. In efforts to keep our wedding intimate and celebrate with those we know and love, we ask that if your plus one is unable to attend, that you come alone. Please update your RSVP or let us know, if your date is no longer able to attend.

Question

Should I bring a gift for the bride & groom?

Answer

Of course, who doesn't like gifts. Be mindful, the reception area won't be open until after the ceremony and cocktail hour so you may want to leave gifts in the car until then or bring something that you can fit in your purse/wallet.
