Question
Will there be a break in between events?
Answer
Yes! The cake reception will end around 5:00 PM as guests send off the couple. The after party at The Heartland Lodge will begin at 6:30 PM. During the break, guests are welcome to return to their hotel, relax at a nearby park, grab a bite to eat, or take some downtime before the evening festivities begin. Guests are welcome to come and go throughout the casual-style after party once it begins at 6:30 PM.
Question
Why is there a break between events?
Answer
The couple wanted to create two different experiences for the day - a more traditional ceremony and cake reception followed by a relaxed, family-friendly after party later in the evening. The break also gives time for the family to clean up and guests time to recharge, grab a snack, return to their hotel, or enjoy some downtime before the celebration continues!

There will not be a formal sit-down dinner at the after party, but a casual style meal and snacks will be provided throughout the evening. Please be sure to RSVP so we can plan accordingly and have enough food for everyone!

The after party will be a family-friendly celebration with food, dancing, games, and time to continue celebrating the newlyweds together. Expect a relaxed and casual atmosphere where guests can unwind, mingle, and enjoy the rest of the evening.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
For the ceremony Sunday best is preferred. But for the after party you are welcome to come as you like!
Question
Can I bring my own food and beverage?
Answer
Food and beverages must be provided through the selected professional food provider. Outside alcohol is not permitted on the premises under any circumstances. Please note that bringing outside alcohol onto the property will result in additional fees charged to the couple.

Can I come to just the after party if I can't make it to the wedding?
