South Bend, IN

Schedule

Due to the unpredictable weather we've experienced since March, we've decided it's best to move our wedding indoors. The ceremony will no longer be held at our home. Fortunately, we’ve secured a beautiful banquet hall where both the wedding and reception will take place. For full details on the schedule, please visit the "Schedule" section of our wedding website. We know it's traditional for friends and family to bring gifts for the wedding, but instead, we kindly ask that if you'd like to give a gift, you consider helping us fund our trip to Italy next year. Contributions can be made directly through our wedding website, and we’ll also have QR codes available at the event for your convenience.

Wedding - Doors open for guests to arrive

2:00 pm - 2:15 pm

The Vault At The Exchange
112 W Jefferson Blvd, South Bend, IN 46601

Business casual

Update 4/9/2025: Due to inclement weather, we've made the decision to move our wedding indoors. The celebration will now occur at The Vault, the elegant banquet hall within The Exchange. Kindly enter through the main entrance at the front of the building.

Wedding Ceremony

2:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Cocktail Hour

3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Both bars will be open during this time. Inside The Vault, the main bar will be serving tea, lemonade, wine, and beer—compliments of us. For cocktails, a cash bar will be available inside The Exchange. Children are welcome in the main bar room, but must remain outside the immediate bar area. While you enjoy a drink and settle in, we’ll be finishing our family and wedding photos. Once we’re done, we’ll join you for a round and a few heartfelt toasts.

Reception

4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Our food vendor will be delivering and setting up the meal right inside The Vault. Family and friends are welcome to stay and celebrate with us for as long as they’d like. If you're traveling from out of town, we recommend booking a room at one of the nearby hotels—we’ve included a list of local options for your convenience. Most importantly, please celebrate safely. Cake cutting will occur at toward the end of this event.

Registry

As many of you know, Steven and Brandon will be getting married on their 7th anniversary. After that much time together, they have decided to ask their guests to not bring gifts and come visit and share in celebration. However, if you choose, there are two options to donate to their honeymoon. They have chosen a trip to Italy and are asking guests to donate to their trip. Two easy methods - Venmo or by Debit/Credit cards. We appreciate all of you.
