Is there parking available at any of the events?

We encourage all guests to leverage the provided transportation but parking is available at all event venues.

What will the weather be like?

Spring is one of the best times to visit Arkansas! We anticipate the weather to be mild and comfortable, with temperatures ranging from high 50s to low 80s Fahrenheit.

What accommodations are available for out-of-town guests?

We understand that a majority of our guests will be traveling from out of town to join us. To ensure your comfort, we've arranged room blocks at two nearby hotels. You can find more information on accommodations, including room blocks, on our website's Travel page. As for what option we recommend, that depends! If you want to be downtown in the historical district where you’re able to walk to restaurants and bars - we recommend The Waters. If you’re more interested in spending your time at the Casino or Spa, pick Oaklawn. Transportation to/from our events will be provided for guests staying at both hotels.

ARE CHILDREN INCLUDED?

While we adore all of your little ones, we've opted for an adults-only affair to allow everyone to relax and enjoy the celebration. We hope you understand our decision and can make arrangements for childcare.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony to post on social media?

While we love that you want to capture our special moments, we kindly request an unplugged ceremony to allow everyone to be fully present and immersed in the experience. Our professional photographers will be capturing all the highlights, and we'll share the photos with you afterwards.

Where can I find the photos afterwards?

We will plan to share all photos captured during our wedding weekend on our website. A link to the photos will be distributed via email after they are published.

What should I do if I have any allergies or dietary restrictions?

We ask that you notify us via your RSVP card, there is dedicated space to comment on any allergies or dietary restrictions but feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Do you have a gift registry?

Yes! We have registered at three locations: Kuhl-Linscomb, Crate & Barrel and Amazon. You can find links to our registries here.

How will you communicate any updated information?
