FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We have blocks at three hotels in the area. Please see the “Travel” tab for details.

Question

When do hotel blocks close?

Answer

Our hotel blocks will be available for booking until May 13. Please be sure to book by then to get the rates.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Yes, transportation will be provided to and from our hotel blocks for the Wedding on Saturday. Individuals will need to provide their own transportation to and from the Welcome party if you are able to join us! A transportation schedule will be available at the front desk of each of the hotels in the block.

Question

What is the dress code for the weekend?

Answer

The Welcome Party is cocktail attire. For men this means a sport coat. For women cocktail dresses or chic separates. The Wedding is formal. For men this means suits and ties. For women full length dresses or dressy separates. The wedding ceremony will be outside and on grass, so block heels or wedges would be recommended. The weather in Northern Michigan in June can get a bit chilly, so be plan to bring a sweater or light layer.

Question

Can I bring a plus one to the wedding?

Answer

Unfortunately, due to the size and nature of hosting in the backyard, we do have specific capacity. Only those on the invitation are able to attend.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, due to space and capacity we cannot accommodate young guests on our wedding day.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

While your presence on our big day is gift enough, we do have a couple registries. These can be found on the “Registry” tab of our wedding website. We are registered at Crate and Barrel, William Sonoma, Cutler’s (a local Petoskey favorite!) and on Zola.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

If you are driving to the ceremony, you can park in the lot across from the Ghesquieres home or on Indian Garden Road. Please do not park in either driveway as those need to be clear for the shuttles for guests staying in the hotel blocks. If you are staying in a hotel block, we recommend you use the shuttles as transportation.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Please indicate your food allergy on your RSVP card.
