We're keeping the actual ceremony small and intimate! If you were one of the 25 or so people invited to our ceremony in addition to dinner, you would have gotten a specific paper invite in the mail. We opened up our after-ceremony dinner to a larger group so we can spend even more time with more loved ones afterwards! For the dinner, you would have gotten a text or email invite to Argosy.
We're keeping it simple and having a small ceremony with close family and friends, followed by taking photos, and dinner with even more friends at a nearby restaurant together.
If you are coming to the ceremony, please plan to arrive about 10 minutes early and note that parking is extremely limited WITHIN the actual property. Most guests should plan to park along Pasley Ave SE, which is the residential street directly across from/perpendicular to the venue. (There are two Pasley Aves. If you put 793-799 Pasley Ave SE, Atlanta GA, 30316 into your GPS, that will be the correct one.) For this reason, we recommend carpooling and rideshare! Argosy is also just a 5 min ride from the ceremony.
Well, we're calling it a dinner because it's not your traditional reception. We have rented out the back room at Argosy from 5 - 8 pm and will have plenty of pizza, wings, drinks, and other food. Please come ready to eat, drink, celebrate, and spend some time with us! Don't worry about being early or late, as there won't be a formal schedule or anything (although we may do a first dance anyway) so feel free to come & go as you'd like. There won't be a formal DJ but there will be music for those of us who want to dance!
Anything from garden to cocktail attire! If you were invited to the ceremony, we'll be outside, so avoid sharp heels if you are attending that. For the dinner, Argosy is casual but trendy and others will be dressed up, so wear what makes you feel good.
Listen, we are not having a traditional ceremony or reception with all the usual festivity, so we really don’t expect gifts. We just want to spend time with our people! We do have a registry with Amazon if you really feel inclined, but please do not feel like the expectation is there.
We’re keeping things small on purpose! If the brides know your significant other, they’ll be listed on your invite. Otherwise, we have number restrictions and a “no strangers” policy to be fair to everyone, and ask that you check with one of us before bringing an additional date.
Due to guest number restrictions, we’d prefer to only extend invites to the children of immediate family. We see this as an opportunity for most of our friends to have a fun date night out! But please feel free to message us if you have specific concerns.
Both the venue and Argosy are in or near East Atlanta Village, where there is parking but parking may be limited. Argosy does have a lot around the back of the restaurant (though it may be paid), and there is street parking. We encourage you to carpool or rideshare as you are able.
