About the Wedding
Can I bring my kids/significant other?
Due to space limitations at the venue, we are asking that only the people named on the invitation attend the wedding. If you have any questions, please ask Bryan or Caroline.
Will there be alcohol?
We will not be serving alcohol at the wedding. Please respect these wishes by not bringing your own, and please refrain from gifting alcohol to the married couple.
What's the dress code?
We ask that guests dress in semi-formal or dressy casual attire. Bear in mind that it will be summer in Texas, so please dress accordingly.
Will there be childcare?
We highly encourage all parents with children under the age of 10 to arrange for childcare on their own. However, for those with special exceptions given by the bride and groom, off-site childcare will be provided.
Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony itself will be outdoors, with the social hour and reception to follow in the Pattison House's reception hall. There is an indoor option on-site if the weather does not cooperate.
Is the venue air conditioned?
The Pattison House is a refurbished farmstead with multiple buildings on the property. The main building we will be using, the reception hall, is air conditioned and very comfortable.
Will we need to purchase beverages?
All beverages provided at the venue will be free of charge. All beverages will be non-alcoholic.
I have a dietary need. Who do I contact?
When you RSVP, there is a section to notate any dietary needs you or your family might have. If you have questions or concerns or forgot to include your need on your RSVP, please contact Bryan or Caroline.
Will there be dancing?
The bride and groom are planning on celebrating their marriage by having a worship night hosted by their friends at GatherHouse instead of a traditional reception party. However, dancing during worship is highly encouraged!
