Good questions. Honest answers.
Planning a celebration comes with a lot of little questions. Here’s a place to start. If yours isn’t here, we’d love to hear it.
Getting Started
Can we book just one service?
Absolutely. Start with the service you need, or bring a few together. Photography, wedding film, food, drinks, ceremonies, and coordination can be discussed in one conversation. We’ll help you decide what fits your day.
Where are you based, and do you travel?
Morgantown, West Virginia is home. We serve West Virginia, Deep Creek and Western Maryland, Pittsburgh and Southern Pennsylvania, and Eastern Ohio. We’re happy to talk about celebrations farther afield, too. Any travel costs are agreed in your proposal before booking.
Who will we work with?
You’ll get to know the Frame & Flask team. Co-founders Alexyss Coles and William “Nick” Edwards help guide your plans: Alexyss leads communication, coordination, and bartending, while Nick brings photography and chef experience. Lucy works with couples on their ceremonies.
Do we need every detail planned before inquiring?
Not at all. Your date, location, approximate guest count, and a few ideas are a lovely place to start. If you’re still deciding, tell us that—we can talk through the possibilities.
Photography & Film
What kinds of photography do you offer?
Weddings, portraits, branding, private events, and more. Explore our photography collections and both photographers’ portfolios to find the approach that feels right for you.
We’re camera-shy. Will you help us?
Of course. We’ll offer direction when it helps and leave room for the real moments. You don’t need to arrive with a practiced pose—we want you to feel comfortable being yourselves.
How will we receive our photos?
Through a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads and print rights. Print and album options, coverage, and delivery details are confirmed with your collection and proposal.
Can we inquire about videography separately?
Yes. Ask about wedding film on its own or alongside photography. Standalone coverage is quoted separately; you can share your interests in the videography section on our Photography page.
Food & Drinks
How do we choose a catering menu?
Browse Dinner Selections on our Catering page and choose anything that catches your eye. Send your favorites with your inquiry, or simply tell us about your gathering. We’ll discuss portions, dietary needs, service style, and a personal proposal.
Can you accommodate dietary needs and allergies?
Tell us about dietary preferences and allergies early so we can discuss suitable options and preparation requirements. Please confirm specific needs with our team before booking or finalizing the menu.
What’s included with charcuterie?
Our Charcuterie page lists board and grazing-table selections, starting prices, and guest-count guidance. You can select your favorites and send them with your inquiry. Setup, styling, staffing, travel, and custom additions are confirmed in your proposal.
Do you provide the alcohol?
The host supplies the alcohol. We can help with a personalized shopping list and discuss mixers, garnishes, signature drinks, and bar service so you know what to prepare. Your package and proposal confirm what’s included.
Can you make mocktails and signature drinks?
Yes! Thoughtful alcohol-free drinks are welcome, and we love talking about cocktails or mocktails that feel personal to your celebration. Tell us your favorite flavors and the atmosphere you have in mind.
What’s your private-chef style?
Southern roots, coastal influences, seasonal ingredients, and food made for gathering. We’ll shape the menu around your people and the experience you’d like to create.
Ceremonies & Coordination
Can Lucy help with a personal ceremony?
Yes. Lucy welcomes ceremonies of different sizes and styles, including religious, nonreligious, spiritual, interfaith, and LGBTQ+ celebrations. Tell us about your story, your vows, and the kind of ceremony you imagine.
Can we work with our own vendors?
Absolutely. We can collaborate with your chosen vendors and discuss recommendations if you’d like help finding someone. Coordination needs and responsibilities are agreed before booking.
Do you help with events beyond weddings?
Yes—private dinners, birthdays, corporate gatherings, showers, and other celebrations are welcome. Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll discuss the services that fit.
Booking & Details
How does pricing work?
You’ll find current photography collections and charcuterie starting prices on those service pages. Other services and combinations receive a tailored proposal. Your final scope, staffing, travel, availability, and pricing are confirmed before booking.
How far ahead should we inquire?
For weddings and larger celebrations, 6–12 months ahead is a helpful starting point. Smaller gatherings may be possible on shorter notice. Send your date even if it’s coming up soon—we’ll check availability.
What happens if our plans change?
Please contact us as soon as you know. Retainers are non-refundable, and cancellations within 30 days may involve additional fees depending on the services and preparation completed. Your signed agreement sets out the terms for your booking.
Where can we find news and offers?
Keep an eye on Frame & Flask’s updates and Exclusives page for current news, recipes, and offers. Specific promotions have their own availability and details.
