The ceremony begins promptly at 5:00pm. We recommend guests arrive between 4:30-4:45 so there is time to mingle and find a seat. If you happen to be late, someone will be there to let you know if they are still allowing guests in or if you will need to wait until the ceremony is over. If that happens, you will still be able to attend the reception.
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress code is formal or black tie optional. A tuxedo is not required, but can still be worn if preferred. A floor-length gown or cocktail dress is preferred for women. We kindly ask that you avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams. Also, prepare for weather of about 75 during the day and 65 after sunset.
We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invite will be made out to "(Your name) & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for your understanding.
Yes, there is complimentary guest parking beside the venue. There will be a sign and people directing you to the entrance of the ceremony. We do not want anyone drinking and driving. We recommend using rideshare apps (Lyft or Uber) for transportation if you plan on drinking. You are able to leave your car at Collin's Grove overnight. Please make sure to pick up your car the next morning by 10am if you need to leave it overnight.
We adore your little ones; however, we have decided to keep our ceremony and reception an adults-only event. We encourage you to use this night as a fun date night! We appreciate you making prior arrangements so you can celebrate with us.
We would appreciate if all phones would remain put away and there to be no pictures or videos taken during the ceremony. This is such a special day for us, and we have the most amazing photography team documenting our entire day, that way you are able to take it all in, celebrate, and be in the moment with us! You are more than welcome to take photos and videos throughout the reception.
