FAQs
When is the wedding?
Our wedding ceremony is November 10, 2024, and our reception will immediately follow. We understand that our wedding date has changed, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Your presence means the world to us, and we sincerely appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we navigate these changes. We're so grateful to have you celebrate this special day with us!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones or cameras during the ceremony?
This is a big one for us. We kindly and politely ask that you take no photographs during the wedding ceremony. We have hired Wedding Moose Photography to capture our day. We enjoy their work and want you to enjoy their work too! They will be capturing guests as well as us and we do not want a sea of iPhones in the photos, we want your smiling faces :). Of course, after the ceremony you are welcome and encouraged to take as many videos and pictures as you’d like.
What should I wear?
We're asking everyone to dress in 'all black' formal attire, but feel free to express your style with small accessories in any color. Suits aren’t required for men and floaty dresses and linen are welcome, so you can keep it stylish yet comfortable. Since the dance floor opens right after the ceremony, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes!
Can I bring my child(ren) or a date?
Due to space limitations, we kindly ask that only those specifically named on the invitation attend. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to sharing our special day with you! If you believe there has been a mistake, please feel free to reach out!
How do I RSVP?
Please RSVP by click on the RSVP tab above by Monday, October 28th, 2024. It's important for us to provide an exact guest count to our vendors, so we kindly ask that each guest RSVP individually rather than per household.
What if I don’t RSVP on time?
If we do not receive your RSVP by the Monday, October 28th, 2024, we will be unable to accommodate you and you will be marked as “not attending”. We would love to celebrate with you, however, we have to provide an exact guest count to vendors, so there will be no seating, food, souvenir, or drink available to you if you do not RSVP on time.
What if I need to change my RSVP?
Please kindly fill out the form linked above again with correct information. We will be notified of the change.
Is there a shuttle to the venue?
Yes. A shuttle from Hampton Inn & Suites Charlotte Steele Creelk to the venue will be provided day of the wedding. We recommend that those staying at other locations join us at Hampton Inn & Suites at 09:00 a.m. for transportation.
What time should I arrive?
If you do not choose to shuttle over with provided transportation, please arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the ceremony to park and find your seat.
Where can I park?
There is public parking available immediately outside of the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden Visitor Pavillion, once you enter the Pavillion, you will be immediately directed to the ceremony.
Will there be a bar?
Please note that our ceremony and reception will be held in the morning. As such, we will provide a coffee station along with soft drinks and water. Aside from the champagne toast, there will be no alcohol or bar service at our wedding. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!
What if I have a dietary restriction?
We've made every effort to accommodate common dietary restrictions. If you have any specific needs or allergies, please let us know so we can ensure everyone has a wonderful dining experience.
