When’s the date again?
Saturday, December 10th, 2016.
Speaking of dates …Can I bring a date?
We have worked really hard to create an intimate celebration featuring all of our most important people. If you feel that we have missed someone, please let us know.
Can I bring my children?
This is an adults-only affair! We hope that this advance notice will allow you to share our big day with us.
What time should I get there?
We will be starting our ceremony right at 5 pm. We recommend arriving at 4:30 pm, so that you have plenty of time to get seated and mingle a bit.
Is the wedding outdoors?
The ceremony is tentatively scheduled to be outdoors on the North Lawn, and the cocktail hour will also be outside in the Oak Pavilion. Our reception will be inside in the Garden Room.
What should I wear?
Cocktail/semi-formal attire, please! The bride requests that you refrain from wearing a wedding dress.
Will it be hot?
The jury is still out! The average high in December is 71 °F.
Is there parking? Do I have to pay for it?
There’s plenty of parking to go around at Sunken Gardens and it is free of charge.
How do I RSVP?
There will an RSVP postage-paid card included with your invitation.
Do I have to RSVP? Can’t I just tell you if I’ll show up (or not)?
Yep, you have to RSVP! This will help us keep track of everyone to provide to all of our vendors. Our RSVP deadline is November 19th.
What do I do if something changes after I RSVP and I can or can’t make it now?
Yay! We’re glad you can make it now. / Dang, sorry we’re not going to get to see you! You can E-mail us at: wedding@ashleyanddustinswedding.com or reach out us via text/phone or through social media.
Will there be alcohol?
You betcha! We will have a full open bar for both cocktail hour and our reception.
There’s no food option on my RSVP card, what’s the deal?
We chose a “family style” dining option, which means that our guests can help themselves to any of our three entree options. We will also have a vegan option. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions.
Can I take pictures?
During the ceremony we really want to see your faces, not your phones and tablets. We’ve hired a great photographer and videographer team, and we will be sharing photos as soon as they are available. Feel free to take lots of pictures after the ceremony. Don’t forget to share them with us too!
Is the bride changing her name?
Yes, Ashley is becoming a Zirkle!
Where should I mail something to?
Our home address is 103 98TH AVE NE, ST PETERSBURG, FL 33702
Can I smoke?
Smoking is permitted outside of the front entry gates of the gardens.
You forgot my super important question!
Sorry, our bad! If there’s something we didn’t get on this list please feel free to E-mail us at: wedding@ashleyanddustinswedding.com. Thanks!
