We are asking that our guests RSVP by May 1, 2019. We need to know how much food and beverages we are going to need to keep the party going because, nobody likes a party that runs out of food or drinks!
We welcome everyone to attend and celebrate with us! We do ask that if you are bringing a date that you let us know when you RSVP so that we can make sure that we have enough food and beverages for everyone.
The ceremony starts at 2:00 pm. We suggest getting there at least 15 minutes early so as to have time to park and find a good seat!
We want our friends and family to be comfortable so that they can fully enjoy our day as much as we do. In order to achieve this we have chosen a dressy casual dress code.
All kids are welcome to the ceremony and the reception. We want all of our friends and family to be able to attend. We do want to remind everyone that there will be an open bar at the reception. However, we will be having an after party immediately following the reception that will be for adults (18+) only.
There is street parking at the Ceremony site in Elk Rapids so you may want to arrive a little early to find a spot. The reception will have parking right at the hall.
Yes, we will be having an open bar at the reception.
Please let us know if there are any food allergies! The last thing that we want is for someone to get sick or not be able to enjoy the food because of an allergy.

We have worked out a special rate for our guests wanting to stay at the Summit Village of this resort but they must be booked by May 1st to in order to recieve the special rate. This is also where the after party will be taking place at. We have provided a link to get those special rates in the description in the travel section on our site.
