Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by August 13th, so we can have an accurate headcount. :)
Are there any colors that guests should avoid wearing?
Please no white or pink.
Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception. Please reach out if you have questions!
Can I bring a date?
Unfortunately we don't have the space for any plus ones!
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, only the ceremony will be wheelchair accessible. We also will also have a golf cart at Cedar Haven available for us for those who need a little extra hand (it is out in the woods, after all!) Our reception is on the second floor of Fireside Grill and only is accessible via stairs. For any further questions, please reach out to Tessa or Chad!
What will the weather be like?
While the weather has been quite mild this year so far, please do plan for it to possibly be drizzly! We will have some umbrellas available but to be safe, make sure you bring your own as well!
Where should I park?
There is plenty of space at both the ceremony and reception space.
What should I wear?
No white, no pink, no jeans. Otherwise, any semi-formal attire is fine! Or fancier if you have something you want to wear but have never had the chance! We promise you wont be over dressed!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
We highly encourage it, actually! Please try to refrain from using your cellphone or cameras during the actual ceremony, as we will have a professional photographer we paid a lot of money to help capture our moment. Before, after, and especially at the reception, please take as many photos and video as possible! We would love love love to see them, as there is no photographer coming to the reception.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, reception is indoors.
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Sensible footwear is encouraged, as our ceremony will be in the woods. Short heels should be fine, and dress shoes of any type. If you do wear higher heels, the golf cart is available. If it rains, please keep in mind that they may get a bit muddy. The bride is wearing Doc Martens for this reason!
Whom should I call with questions?
Please feel free to call either Tessa or Chad!!
Is it an open bar?
If you know the nearly weds, you know we both don't really drink. Pretty much never. With that in mind, no, it will be a cash bar. We will be providing all the food and desserts, though!
