The ceremony begins at 5 PM so we recommend giving yourself 20-30 minutes to arrive, use the restroom, get settled, and make your way to the ceremony space. Also, keep in mind it is a Friday night so give yourself enough time to travel with traffic.
There is a gravel parking lot right outside the venue where you can park. Cars can be left overnight as long as they are picked up by 11 AM on the 14th.
The ceremony is at the same venue as the reception; Equestria West at Bavaria Downs in the wooded ceremony area. After you park, follow the gravel path on the right side of the venue down to the ceremony area. Staff will be there to help guide you. If you need assistance down the gravel path, there will be a golf cart to help bring people down to the ceremony area.

Keep in mind when choosing your attire, our ceremony will be held outside in a shaded area. Reception indoors. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in style!
Although we adore your children, we've elected to limit our ceremony and reception to adults only. Even the best parents need a break sometimes!
