Our wedding will be on Saturday, January 17, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, so you won’t have to travel between locations. Ceremony seating will open at 5:30 pm, and guests may park in the on-site garage. The ceremony begins promptly at 6 pm, with cocktail hour and reception to follow.
We kindly ask guests to wear cocktail attire (or fancier, if you’d like!). Think polished, festive, and celebration-ready. To help the bridal party stand out, please note that the bridesmaids will be wearing burgundy, so we kindly ask guests to avoid that color, as well as white or ivory dresses. Most importantly, wear something you’ll feel comfortable dancing the night away in!
Guests are welcome to arrive when they’d like, but ceremony seating will not open until 5:30 pm. The museum will be closing early on our wedding day to accommodate the celebration. Parking is available in the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) garage.
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration (ages 18+), with the exception of a few children close to our family who have been specifically invited. If your child is included, their name will appear on your invitation and again when you go to RSVP on our website. We hope the rest of you enjoy a fun night out!
Your invitation will indicate whether you have a plus one, and this will also be reflected when you go to RSVP on our website. If your guest’s name is included there, then we’d love to celebrate with them! If not, we appreciate your understanding as we keep our guest list intimate.

Please enjoy, celebrate, and dance the night away with us—but remember to drink responsibly. 💕 For those planning to indulge, we encourage using Uber, Lyft, or a designated driver to get home safely.
