Question

What time should I arrive by?

Answer

We ask that you show up by 2:30 at the latest to allow plenty of time to say brief hellos and get seated for the ceremony.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

We suggest parking at the Ellis parking garage across the street (on Pearl St.) as that is the closest parking garage. However, if you are staying downtown it may be cheaper to walk, or hail an Uber or Lyft because parking is 3$/half hour (with a maximum of 24$ daily).

Yes! However, after the ceremony there is a 90 minute transition period, afterwards guests can return for cocktail hour and the reception!

Question

Will the ceremony be indoors or outdoors?

Our ceremony and reception will take place indoors. There is a 90 minute break between the two where guests will be asked to leave while they set up the reception. There are multiple places within close walking distance (see "Things To Do" tab).

We are so grateful to already have everything we need for our home. If you’d like to honor us with a gift, we have set up a Newlywed Fund on our website to help us build our life together.
