FAQs

Q: Can we take photos and videos during the ceremony?

A: We wish to keep our ceremony UNPLUGGED. Our church is an intimate and solemn place and we would like our guests to witness our holy matrimony without distractions or the need to take photos of us. We have also hired a competent photo and video team to capture moments of our day.

You may take photos after we are pronounced as husband and wife!

RECAP:

❌ No photos/videos allowed during procession and ceremony proper

✅ Guests can take photos or videos after we are pronounced as husband and wife

Q: Do you have a gift preference?

A: While your presence and efforts to come to our celebration is a gift already and while we appreciate physical gifts, we have prepared QR codes and money envelopes should you wish to give us a gift.

See: Gentle Reminders

Q: I initially responded "Attending" but there has been change of plans and won't be able to attend, what should I do?

A: It's okay! Please let us know immediately so we can also allot your seat(s) to other guests.

Q: I initially responded "Not attending" but there has been change of plans and will now be able to attend, what should I do?

A: Yay! We're so glad that you can now make it! Please inform us immediately! However, we seek your understanding as we may have re-allocated your seat(s) and we may not be able to offer the same number of seats (or any seats at all 😟) 

Q: Can I bring a plus one?

A: While we'd love to meet and celebrate with everyone, our venue space and budget restrictions says otherwise. Kindly refer to the number of allotted seats for your party. Thank you!

Q: Can we bring our kids?

A: Please consider this as a date night! While we love to see your little munchkins we are opting for an all-adult event (with some exceptions for children who are part of our entourage and our closest little cousins). We appreciate your understanding!

Q: Will transportation be provided between the ceremony and reception venues?

A: As much as we'd like to accommodate everyone and teleport our guests, we really haven't found the technology yet! Unfortunately, transportation will not be provided between venues. We suggest organizing rideshare services or carpooling with fellow guests for a shared journey filled with laughter and good company.

Q: Where can we park our vehicle?

A: Our church (Chapel on the Hill) have road side parking available while our reception venue (Azienda Verde Alfonso) have dedicated parking spaces for everyone. We encourage everyone to be on time so you may have better parking options.

Q: Can I sit anywhere in the reception?

A: Part of our two-year preparation is the seating arrangement of our guests. We kindly request that you honor and comply with our seating arrangement as it is planned with convenience and network preference in mind. Rest assured that you will be seated along with family or friends

Q: Can we leave early?

A: We appreciate the time and effort you spent with us! Our program is estimated to last until 9 pm and an after party will follow. While we wish for you to stay until the end of the day, we hope you can stay at least until our same day edit video is played so we can personally thank you! 

Should you really need to leave early, we would appreciate a selfie in our inbox as we may not be able to thank you personally in the middle of the program.
