No! We want to see your faces not the backs of your phones. We want our wedding - especially the ceremony & dances - to be an intimate time where we can all be together and not distracted. This is to be a special time for everyone in attendance. Please also refrain from posting images of us (the bride & groom) on social media until we have done so ourselves. After all the craziness we'll be sure to upload some of our favorite images (taken by our photographer) to share with everyone!
Our nieces and nephews will be present as they are important to us and we would like them to be involved. If you are not immediate family, please leave your children at home. We'd like you to be able to enjoy the evening without worrying about your kids.
Yes! Dress is Semi-Formal. Please no blue jeans or sneakers. We're celebrating something incredibly important and want everyone to look their best! Please NO white clothing.
The ceremony and reception will take place in the same building with a cocktail hour between. There is plenty of free parking, including a parking garage near the venue downtown Elgin.
Please submit your RSVP by September 17. This ensures we will have enough time to communicate with all our vendors within a respectful timeframe.
The ceremony will start at 4pm. Please arrive 15-30 minutes before to allow time for parking and seating.
We will be having a 100% dry wedding. Please respect our decisions and refrain from bringing outside drinks into our venue. However, we will be offering mocktails for everyone to enjoy!
