We are so excited to celebrate with you! Here are some common questions to help you plan for our day.

No, the ceremony will be at Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church at 4 PM. The reception will be held at The Beach Club, starting at 5 PM. The venues are approximately 15 minutes apart from one another. We recommend taking a scenic drive around Lake Harriet and Bde Maka Ska to enjoy the Christmas lights en route to the reception.

The ceremony will start promptly at 4:00 PM. Please plan to arrive at Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis between 3:30-3:45 PM.

No matter the weather, the event will be oh so delightful! Our ceremony and reception are in close proximity, so we do not anticipate significant modifications. Our reception venue has indoor, valet parking.
