Pups and Pints is a unique restaurant, bar, and dog park. Kyanne’s boss, Christina Sims, is an owner of the establishment and has so graciously allowed us to use the space to celebrate our special day! We will have the entire indoor and outdoor space reserved to ourselves until 4:00pm, at which time it will reopen to the public. There will be a few yard games set up, such as corn hole, to provide some entertainment!
We suggest that our guests wear semi-casual attire. Think relaxed yet polished—men can wear a collared shirt or a polo with dress pants, nice jeans, or khakis. Women can opt for a nice sundress, a stylish midi or maxi dress, or a blouse paired with a skirt or trousers. We are keeping things small and intimate, so we want you to be comfortable, but also camera ready! We will have a photographer around capturing every moment and want everyone to look their best. The event will be held primarily outside, so please keep the weather in mind.
Family guests attending the ceremony should arrive to the venue by 12:00pm. The ceremony will begin promptly at 12:30pm. Friends that are coming to celebrate with the bride and groom should arrive at 4:00pm.
Absolutely! We’re excited to offer lunch to all our family guests attending the ceremony. The talented kitchen team at Pups and Pints will be preparing a delicious selection of dishes, served buffet-style for everyone to enjoy.
