Please note that Nicole & Michael will not be in attendance. The wedding reception ends at 4pm but the party keeps going. Some of the Beckest’s close friends Kate, James, Ari, and Gerald will be coordinating a post-reception hang out with snacks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, and board games in one of the event spaces of the hotel. Guests are also invited to bring drinks to contribute. All the Beckest wedding guests are invited – this is especially for any guests that want to play board games and keep getting to know the Beckest friends you’ve only just met, haven’t met yet, or just like spending time with. We’ll have board games running the gamut from very easy 15-30 minute party board games to very nerdy, multi-hour board games. Please feel free to drop in and say hi, come-and-go throughout the afternoon/evening, or stay for the whole time. Kids can come with their parents, just fair warning that there will be a cooler with alcoholic beverages and games with small pieces.
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Costumes strongly encouraged. Costumes available for rent on site.
Adults and Children welcome. All folks who RSVP'd have a ticket! We will meet at the front gate of the Festival at 10:15am to distribute tickets. Nicole will be very easy to spot with her seven foot dandelion staff! If you need a ride and have not yet received an email about carpooling, please let us know ASAP.
