Frequently Asked Questions:
The Mystical Guide to our Magical Celebration
Welcome to our FAQ section, where we’ve gathered answers to the most commonly asked questions about our big day. Think of this page as your very own Marauder’s Map — guiding you through everything you’ll need to know before joining us in our little enchanted corner of Payson. If your question isn’t listed, feel free to reach out to Cassie. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in our magical realm!
Why Are We Asking for Photos of your RSVP Card Instead of going Digital?
Every invitation included a personalized RSVP card created specifically for the guest(s) receiving it. Rather than submitting a digital RSVP, we simply ask that you complete your card and text or email us a photo.
This lets us keep each personalized RSVP exactly as intended, helps us organize our guest list accurately, and avoids the occasional hiccups that can happen with online RSVP systems.
As a special keepsake, Cassie is also creating a scrapbook using photos of every completed RSVP card - making each response a lasting part of our wedding memories.
Why the magical touches?
Our wedding blends Levi's rustic love of the outdoors with Cassie's lifelong love of all things magical - especially Harry Potter. You'll notice subtle, cozy details inspired by the wizarding world mixed with warm rustic elements that reflect Levi's upbringing, creating a celebration that is uniquely us... a little mystical, a little woodsy, and filled with heart.
How do I get to the Venue?
If you’re flying, the closest major airport is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), followed by about a 2-hour scenic drive from Payson. We highly recommend renting a car, as rideshare services are limited.
If you’re driving, allow yourself a little extra time to be safe & enjoy the beautiful forest & desert roads leading into Payson.
What if I have Dietary Restrictions?
Just like a Hogwarts feast, our banquet will include a variety of delicious options, including vegetarian & vegan selections. If you have food allergies or other dietary restrictions, please let us know in advance so we can do our best to make sure there's something magical waiting for you too.
Can I Bring Fellow Muggles & Magical Creatures?
Our guest list is intentionally small, so only those named on the invitation are invited. If a guest or plus-one isn't listed on your invitation, we kindly ask that they not attend.
We absolutely adore animals, but only our own pups will be joining in the festivities.
As for young witches and wizards, only children whose names appear on the invitation are invited. Thank you for understanding as we celebrate with our closest family and friends.
Will there be a Dress Code?
Yes — but think magical, expressive, and comfortable rather than overly formal. Whether your style leans rustic witchy, cottagecore, woodland, southwestern, or subtly Harry Potter-inspired, we encourage you to wear what makes you feel wonderful while fitting the woodland celebration.

Can I Wear a Halloween Costume?
Absolutely — with a little guidance!
Since our ceremony has a more mystical, woodland feel, we ask that full costumes be saved for the reception unless they naturally fit the ceremony's aesthetic.
Here’s the breakdown:
Ceremony
• Please avoid inflatable costumes, oversized masks, or full character costumes
• Witchy, woodland, medieval, regal, fairy, and subtle Harry Potter-inspired touches are absolutely welcome.
Reception
• Costume time!
• Feel free to change after the ceremony and enjoy the Halloween festivities in full costume.
Still not sure? Feel free to send Cassie a photo of your outfit idea - She'd love to help!
Will there be photos after the ceremony?
YES! We'll be taking formal family photos immediately after the ceremony. Cocktail hour will begin while photos are being taken, so feel free to grab a drink and mingle until we're ready to celebrate together.
Is the venue accessible?
YES! The venue includes uneven ground, gravel, and forest paths. We recommend comfortable shoes, especially for anyone with mobility concerns. There will also be transport to and from the venue.
Can I bring my own Alcohol?
NO! The venue provides an open bar during the reception. If you'd like beverages beyond what's being served, the restaurant and bar across the street offer additional options. Per venue policy, outside alcohol is not permitted.
Can I Post Photos Online?
We'd love for you to share your favorite moments throughout the day! During the ceremony itself, we ask that everyone remain unplugged, with phones on silent and put away. Simply be present with us. Once the ceremony is over, snap away and share to your heart's content!
If you share photos, we'd love for you to tag us or use #Lewelloween
Will there be wedding favors or keepsakes?
YES! Each household will receive a handmade knitted blanket as our gift to you. If you're traveling by plane, we recommend leaving a little extra room in your luggage - or plan to carry it on - so you can bring it home safely. We hope it keeps you warm long after Halloween passes.
