Reception
11:30 am - 4:00 pm
206 23rd St, Newport News, VA 23607
We are thinking of the reception as being more like an open house. Please feel free to join us for a beer even if you are not free for the ceremony. We would still love to have you celebrate with us!
Travel
Flight
Newport News/ Williamsburg Intl. Airport
This is the closest airport to the house.
Flight
Norfolk Intl. Airport
This is the second closest airport to the house, but traffic can get bad due to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, which is under construction.
Flight
Richmond Intl. Airport
While this is geographically the farthest from the house of the three airports listed, there is at least no bridge tunnel traffic with which to contend.

Picking a Hotel or Rental
Please contact us if you have questions about renting a short-term rental, e.g. an Airbnb, or different hotel room. We suggest booking a rental or hotel room in the vicinity of our house and not the brewery.
FAQs
Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
No, we don't. While your presence is the only gift we seek, should you wish to celebrate with a gesture, a contribution towards our honeymoon fund would be deeply appreciated!
Question
What is the dress code for the ceremony?
Answer
We suggest up-casual attire, e.g. sundresses or cocktail dresses, LBDs, suits in lighter hues, slacks and button downs. If it helps, Lisa is wearing a cocktail dress and Ben is wearing a suit.
Question
What if I can't make it to the ceremony, but I'm free in the afternoon?
Answer
No problem! Please stop in and have a beer with us.
Question
What if I can't stay until 4pm?
Answer
No problem! This is not a traditional wedding and reception. If you just want to pop in for a little bit to have a beer with us, we would be happy to see you.
Question
Is there a hotel room block?
Answer
Yes, the details about the hotel room block, including a link for booking, are in the "Travel" Section.
Question
How do I share cute wedding pictures with you?
Answer
The QR Code for our Google Wedding Album is in the "Gallery" Section.
Question
Did I really read I might have to stand during the ceremony and reception?
Answer
Yes, you did, so please wear comfortable shoes. You are more than welcome to just pop in for a celebratory beer, too, if the limited seating is a concern.
