Q + A

Where should guests park? Is parking free?

Windows on the River has its own secure parking lot with an attendant to collect payment - you do NOT have to pay! Please notify the attendant you are with The Gilles Wedding we will take care of the rest.

Will we have to travel between the ceremony and reception?

Both our ceremony and reception will be at the same location (Windows on the River).

What time should I arrive?

Help us get the party started as scheduled! We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony to make sure everyone is seated on time (doors open at 5 pm and ceremony starts promptly at 5:30 pm).

What will the weather be like this time of year?

It is Ohio, so anything is possible! Our cocktail hour (6-7pm) will be outside on the patio near the water so if you are worried about getting a little chilly we would recommend bringing a jacket/cover up.

Is it an open bar?

YES! We cannot wait to celebrate with you all with a full bar included.

Is there a dress code?

The dress code for our wedding is cocktail attire: cocktail dresses, dressy separates, suit and tie or a sports coat.

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Indoors for both the ceremony and reception. Our cocktail hour will be located on the outdoor patio (weather permitting).

Are kids welcome?

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Am I invited to the rehearsal dinner?

Due to the space limitations of our venue, we unfortunately have to limit the rehearsal dinner guest list to those who will be playing a role in the ceremony. We apologize in advance to those who are not included.

Can I bring a plus one?

Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.

Are the ceremony and reception location wheelchair accessible?

Yes, through the main entrance, located on the first floor to your left you will find an elevator.

Will there be any vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or special diet options?

We definitely want to make sure you enjoy your time and meal on our wedding day, please let us know when you RSVP about your dietary needs.

Where are you registered?

We are so thankful you will be joining us for this celebration of our love. While gifts are not expected, we have registered for a few items we need for our home at Target and Amazon. You can also access our wedding registry's right here on The Knot under the Registry tab starting July 10.

When is the RSVP deadline? Do I need to mail back my RSVP or can I do it online?

Thank you in advance for your response before the deadline. You can RSVP right here on our wedding website or call the phone number provided. Wedding invitations will be sent out in July and we kindly ask that you RSVP no later than Wednesday, September 4. There are a lot of moving pieces for our wedding and we need to have final head counts for our vendors!

Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?
