6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Casual - come as you are!
This is Brett's favorite local dive bar. This will be "open house" style - come and go as you please. Expect buffet bar food, open bar, and a chance to chat with the bride and groom before the big day. This event is open to all invited to the wedding. It is easily walkable from all Hotel Block and Recommended hotels, take Uber/Lyft, or drive, as metered street parking is readily available. Please RSVP so we can gauge food amounts, and let us know if you have any dietary restrictions so we can inform the bar.
5:30 pm - 11:30 pm
This event is formal, black-tie optional. Please no jeans, sneakers, or streetwear.
