We thank you in advance for taking the time out of your day and traveling the distance to celebrate our special day with us. Here are some helpful answers to questions that we have received about our big day!
Can I bring a Plus One?
No. This is an invitation only event and strictly RSVP only. Your invitation extends to only those listed on your invitation. Due to the venue's capacity, we are unable to accommodate any Plus Ones unless it is specifically listed on your invitation. In addition, we have chosen to have an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family only. If your invitation includes a Plus One, we happily welcome them to join you in celebrating our special day.
Can I take photos or videos at your wedding?
We are having an Unplugged Ceremony. To ensure that our professional Photographer can capture the best shots of our special day, please refrain from taking photos or videos and place your cell phones on silent during the ceremony. However, we welcome you to take photos and video at dinner. Please share them with us afterwards! We would love to see all the special moments you were able to capture. You can tag us on Instagram using our wedding hashtag #dancingwithduran.

What if I missed the RSVP deadline?
While your presence will be missed, we are not accepting late RSVPs. Our final guest count is due to our venue and vendors by a specified date. For this reason, we are unable to accept your RSVP if it's submitted passed the deadline. We can't wait to celebrate our forever with you so please RSVP as soon as you're able.

What happens if I'm late?
No one will be allowed to enter the ceremony after 5:15PM CST. We welcome late arrivals to join us for dinner at Joe T. Garcia's.
Is there a dress code?
We’re calling this a Formal Garden Party—think polished elegance with a relaxed, outdoor-friendly twist. For women: full length, spring-friendly florals, muted pinks, or vintage-inspired prints. For men: a linen suit or blazer with dress slacks, tie optional; lighter fabrics and soft colors (navy, gray, or warm neutrals) work well for an outdoor setting. It’s an outdoor September celebration in Granbury, TX—layers like a light wrap or jacket are recommended for the evening. Cowboy hats and boots are welcomed! We kindly ask that you refrain from wearing jeans or casual sneakers as we aim to maintain an atmosphere of elegance. We also ask our guests to refrain from wearing red or white attire out of respect for the bride and groom. For your convenience, please see the section titled "Dress Code" or your Save The Date for photo inspiration.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony and dinner will both be enjoyed outdoors.
Will the ceremony and reception be held at the same venue?
No. The ceremony will take place at La Bella Luna in Grandbury, TX and dinner will follow at Joe T. Garcias in Fort Worth, TX. Please see the schedule above.
What time will your wedding dinner end?
Dinner ends at 10:00PM CST.
Will food be served?
Yes. Please make your food selection on your formal invitation when you RSVP. Please indicate any food allergies at this time. We will be unable to accommodate any food restrictions once the RSVP deadline has passed.
Is outside alcohol allowed?
No. Please refrain from bringing your own alcohol to either venues! We encourage you to enjoy the cash bar. If you aren't a drinker, non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.
Please drink responsibly.
Is there a smoking area?
No. There is no smoking allowed on the premises; including, vaping.
Is there parking?
Yes. There is ample parking available at the venue.
Can I park my vehicle at the venue overnight?
No.
Are kids welcome?
While we love your little ones, we are having an adult only wedding. Due to limited capacity at our venue, we are unable to accommodate all of our friends' and families' children. Enjoy a free date night on us!
What is your wedding hashtag?
#dancingwithduran. Please tag us in your photos! We would love to see all the fun you capture.
Do you have a registry?
Your presence is our greatest gift! However, should you wish to honor us, a monetary contribution towards our future together would be greatly appreciated. We greatly appreciate that you may want to offer a physical gift; however, we would love to go on our dream honeymoon. A link to our registry and honeymoon fund is linked to this website.
What if I can't make it?
You will truly be missed and forgiven if you are unable to attend. We understand that the location may be too far to travel. If you can't make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "Will Not Attend," so that we can plan accordingly. Your invitation is not transferrable, as our wedding is invite only.
For those that are unable to attend but would like to leave a special message for the bride and groom, please do so on your invitation when you submit your RSVP.
I still have questions. What is the best way to contact you?
To ensure that we are able to be joyfully present in our engagement era, we have established a POC to answer any and all questions that you may have. We ask that you direct all questions to our Wedding Coordinator.
