FAQs
What time should I arrive?
Our ceremony begins at 4:00 PM, so we recommend arriving around 3:30–3:40 PM to allow plenty of time to park, find your seat, and get settled before we begin! Please keep in mind that Friday afternoon traffic in Atlanta can be unpredictable, so plan accordingly and give yourself a little extra travel time. Welcome drinks and the reception will begin at 5:00 PM following the ceremony. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
What is the dress code?
Dressy casual. Our color palette and outfit suggestions can be found here. The palette and theme are encouraged, but no one needs to match them perfectly or purchase something new.
Women: Cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, skirts, or dressy separates.
Men: Button-downs, knit polos, sweaters, trousers, chinos, or relaxed suits. Jackets are optional and ties are not required.
Kids: Comfortable dresses, sweaters, button-downs, polos, or dressy separates.
Are guests invited to the private ceremony?
We’ll be joined by our immediate family and closest friends at the ceremony.
Are children welcome?
Yes, children are welcome! Just a heads-up that Atlanta Utility Works is an industrial-style venue, so please keep that in mind when deciding whether to bring little ones. Children will need to remain supervised throughout the evening.
What food and drinks will be available?
There will be a charcuterie spread for snacking upon arrival, which will include meat and cheese pairings (salami, prosciutto, brie, goat cheese, cheddar, etc), hummus, pimento, nuts, and veggies.
Dinner will be catered by Fox Bros BBQ, which will include pulled pork and chicken, mac & cheese, collard greens, and jalapeno cornbread muffins. We are offering banana pudding and chocolate pecan pie bars for dessert.
If you have any food allergies or dietary concerns, please let us know so we can properly accommodate you.
We are offering an open bar as well as non-alcoholic options such as lemonade, iced tea, and sodas.
Will the celebration be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will take place outdoors in the Foundry Ruins, while the reception will be held inside. Since it’s late October, we recommend checking the weather and bringing a jacket or layer for the evening. The venue also has some uneven surfaces, so please choose shoes you can comfortably walk and dance in.
