We're creating a cookbook-style guest book filled with recipes, memories, stories, and traditions from the people we love, and we'd love for you to be apart of it.

Share Your Recipe

Have a favorite recipe you'd like to share with us? Submit it through the form below, and we'll include the recipes we receive before the wedding in the cookbook we'll have available at the wedding.

You can either:

  • Type your recipe directly into the form, or
  • Upload a digital copy of your recipe if you already have it saved as a document.

If there's a story, memory, tradition, or special person behind your recipe, you'll have a chance to share that, too.

No Recipe? No Problem!

You do not have to submit a recipe to be part of the cookbook. You can also share:

  • A family food tradition
  • A favorite cooking tip or piece of advice
  • A message for Gillian & Sultan
  • Anything else you'd like us to have

There will also be an opportunity at the wedding to leave us a short note, memory, piece of advice, or other message for the cookbook.

When Can I Submit?

Anytime! The form will remain open before and after the wedding. If you submit a recipe before the wedding, we'll have the opportunity to include it in the cookbook at the wedding.

If you think of another recipe, story, or memory afterward, you can come back and submit it anytime. We want this to be something that can keep growing with us.

Can I Submit More Than Once?

Absolutely! Feel free to submit multiple recipes, memories, stories, or messages. You can come back to the form as many times as you'd like.

What Happens to What I Submit?

We'll collect your recipes, stories, memories, and messages and use them to create our wedding cookbook. We may make small formatting or editing changes so everything fits nicely in the book, but the goal is to preserve the heart of what you shared.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guests may arrive as early as 4:00 PM. There will be drinks and appetizers available. Please arrive no later than 4:40 PM so you have time to get settled before the ceremony begins at 5:00 PM.
Where is the wedding taking place?
The ceremony and reception will both be held at the same location. You can find the address and directions on the Details page.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our celebration will be primarily outdoors, so please plan accordingly for the weather and setting.
What should I wear?
Dressy casual / cocktail attire is perfect! Since the event is outdoors on grass and uneven ground, we recommend block heels, wedges, or flats.
Will there be seating during the reception?
Yes! There will be plenty of seating available, but dinner will be casual and flexible—no assigned seats or formal sit-down meal.
How will food and drinks be served?
We'll have food stations and drinks available throughout the evening, so you can grab a plate and eat whenever you'd like.
What food will be served?
Appetizers will be served before and just after the ceremony, followed by sizzling fajitas on fresh, warm tortillas.
Is there a bar?
Yes! We'll have beer, wine, and a signature cocktail, along with non-alcoholic options.
Is there parking available?
Street parking is limited, so we highly recommend using Uber, Lyft, or carpooling to and from the event. If you do plan to drive, please allow extra time to find parking nearby.
What happens if it rains?
We'll be keeping an eye on the weather and have a plan in place to keep the celebration going—rain or shine.
If you'd like to give a gift, we'd be grateful for a contribution toward our honeymoon, where we are hoping to spend time exploring new places, enjoying great food, and relaxing together, but your presence is more than enough.
What do I do if I don't receive an email confirmation once I have sent in my RSVP?
If you do not receive a confirmation email please reach out to Gillian directly via text at 585-967-4266 to confirm your RSVP was received.

Any other questions? Please email Gillian at gillianmerklinger@gmail.com
