FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I RSVP?

Please click on the RSVP link and fill out our Google form by April 1.

What about taking photos and videos?

Adrian and Sarah kindly ask that you be fully present with them on this special day. We have arranged for a professional photographer to capture the ceremony and celebration. The church will also record the ceremony with the livestream equipment in the Sanctuary. 

All our friends and family will have access to these photos and videos by the end of May. Therefore, we request that you keep your phones and cameras out of site as often as possible. If you need to make a call or answer a text, please step outside the church or reception hall. We hope you know how valuable your presence is to us throughout this time together.

What should I wear?

The wedding and subsequent dinner and dancing are considered semi-formal. We encourage you to dress up yet feel comfortable at the same time. Semi-formal attire means dressier than casual but not as dressed up as formal or black tie. Think stylish or "best Sunday dress" but skip evening gowns and tuxes. 

Where should I sit?

There is no "bride side" or "groom's side" at the ceremony. We know you're all coming to celebrate us both! At the reception in Hutton Hall, we will reserve only a couple tables for family. We ask that you choose your own spot and encourage you to get to know someone new.

What about dinner?

The reception will include a buffet with options for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian meals. Please indicate your dietary restrictions on the RSVP form. The buffet will be open immediately after the ceremony so fill up your plate and take a seat right away. Cake and dessert will be served later in the evening.

What should I bring?

Bring yourself and a joyful heart! Your presence is the present Adrian and Sarah truly desire. If you feel you need to get something more, please visit the REGISTRY page to find out what we really need or want at this time. Also, check the THANKS section of our website for more details on the many people who are giving their talents and time as a gift to the happy couple. 

What about my children?

Children are welcome and encouraged to attend the ceremony and reception. For the ceremony in the Sanctuary, there is a Parent Room in the hallway with a live monitor of the service. Please make use of this room for diaper changing and soothing restless little ones. 

Sarah has arranged for childcare staff from Saint Barnabas to take care of kids on the playground and in the Children's Center during the reception as needed. M Vinger and Jaron Kitchel will meet you in the Children's Center (directly north of Hutton Hall) soon after dinner is served. Your children can stay there for the rest of the evening or just for a bit – whatever they (and you as a parent) need. Please make them a plate or sit and eat with them before dropping them off with M and Jaron.

How long will it last?

The ceremony should last about an hour. All the musicians and choral singers have gifted Sarah and Adrian their talents to help them celebrate this joyous day. For those of you without much Episcopal church experience, please know that you are welcome to participate in every part of the service and we promise it'll be easy to follow along. At the same time, feel free to just sit and observe.

Dinner will be served by buffet outside of Hutton Hall as soon as the ceremony is over. After the meal, Sarah and Adrian will join the celebration and begin the dancing. We encourage everyone in attendance to get out on the dance floor at some point in the evening. The music will be an eclectic blend of country western, pop, oldies, jazzy standards, and more. Thanks to DJ Ryan Matthews for keeping the beats flowing until around 8pm.

Please remember to be present with us – keep your phones out of site as much as you are able and step outside for calls and texts.
