Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food options?

When you RSVP, please inform us of any dietary restrictions. That way, we can let our caterer know well in advance and can prepare something for you. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request for a vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free option.

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

We want you to be fully present with us during our ceremony. This is why we’ve decided to have it completely “unplugged”, which means no cameras, cell phones or other electronic devices until after the ceremony. So thank you so much in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Having said that… Yes, we encourage guests to post pictures on their social media channels after the ceremony. Our only request is that you tag each photo with our official wedding hashtag #MySaidYEStrada so we can keep track of all of your pictures. Also, don’t forget to download our official photo and video sharing app here. Check out our Journal for more details on this.
