Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you are Jewish or not, have been to many weddings or this is your first, we want to make sure that everyone is in the know and most importantly can participate. Yes, we said participate. Our wedding will be much more fun with your participation. Visit the Jewish Wedding Guide page for more information.

All weddings are different, no matter who is getting married. We have put a lot of thought into how to honor our tradition in a way that also honors our queer identities and relationship. Take a look at the Queer Wedding 101 page with our answers to some of the common questions we hear.

We would love for you to join us for the tisch (what we like to call the pre-game) at 3pm and you should feel free to trickle in if you arrive after 3. The chuppah ceremony (where we walk down the aisle and exchange vows and rings) will start promptly at 4:30. With that information, make the decision that makes the most sense for your family.

We encourage you to wear whatever you are comfortable in and makes you feel good. With that said, we are aiming for cocktail attire. We will be moving between the inside and outside spaces of the venue so we suggest layers. We will have heaters outside, but suggest you to dress in layers so you stay comfortable all night.

There will be valet parking on-site. Our venue requests that all guests that are driving in their own vehicle use the on-site valet out of respect for their neighbors. You will be asked in your RSVP if you plan to bring a vehicle so we can get a best estimate of cars for the valet and ensure we have enough parking for everyone that is planning to drive.

We will be honored at IKAR (our synagogue) during Shabbat morning services on Saturday, January 24, and given a blessing as we prepare to be married. The honor itself will only be a couple of minutes, but we invite everyone to stay for the community lunch that we will be helping to sponsor. You can see a detailed schedule of events for the weekend on the Schedule of Events tab.

We want our wedding to reflect our favorite moments which include playing mermaids, flying pretend kites, playing tag, etc. with our favorite little ones. We are excited to celebrate this moment with everyone we love, young and old. Kids listed on the invitation are invited to the wedding and we encourage you to make the choice that matches your family's needs best with regard to bringing kids. There will be child-care on-site as well as some entertainment specifically geared toward young children, however this will be in the same space as the rest of the event so please plan accordingly.

You can find our registry on the registry tab of the website. We are most excited about growing our family which will likely be an expensive process for us. If you are inclined to give something in honor of our wedding, we have an adoption fund. For those that would prefer not to give money, we have some other items we are excited about as we continue building our home together. Zola does a great job of consolidating everything in one place. If something that is listed can not be found in the Zola catalog you will be redirected to the website to finalize the purchase.
