We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off!
If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.
Cocktail, please. Guys - dress pants and a button up shirt with a tie or bow-tie (jackets optional). Women - cocktail dresses, maxi dresses, skirts, pantsuits. *The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held on grass covered areas, ladies beware of stilettos!
Yes, there will be transportation to and from the Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen-Chesapeake House to Swan Harbor for the guests that will be staying at the hotel on Thursday and/ or Friday night. The first bus will leave at 5:00pm from the hotel and the second bus will leave at 5:30pm from the hotel. Check in at the hotel is 3:00pm. Please be ready and out front of the hotel at 4:55pm for the 5:00pm shuttle and 5:25pm for the 5:30pm shuttle. There will also be transportation back to the hotel. The wedding goes until 12:30am. We will have shuttles going back to the hotel at 10:30pm, 11:30pm, and 12:30am.
Our wedding is on a Friday evening, which is prime time for rush hour. Please leave yourself with enough time to get to the ceremony! From Columbia, you should plan to leave about 2 hours ahead of time. From Frederick, you should plan to leave 2 1/2 hours ahead of time. From the Glen Burnie/ Baltimore area, you should plan to leave 1 1/2 hours ahead of time. These times are based off of typical traffic patterns, please plan accordingly in case of accidents, heavy traffic, etc.
Weird question... But important for some! Cocktail hour will be held from 6:30-8pm and there will be appetizers, although dinner will not be served until about 8:15. We recommend that you eat a good lunch! :)
