Cocktail Attire
Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the museum located at Churchill Downs. There will be roundtrip transportation provided from the AC Hotel in NuLu to Churchill Downs beginning at 4:30pm. For those who would like to explore the museum, we encourage you to ride on the first bus. Additional timing details will be included in your welcome bag. Please note this is an adult-only affair.
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
We encourage you to wear Orange and Blue to support our Florida Gators but if it’s just not possible for you - please join us sporting your tailgate best in the school colors of your choosing.
Our private room and bar is on the second floor, please ask a West Sixth employee and look for signs to help locate our room. We will be playing the Florida vs Tennessee football game on the big screen and have supporting games in the background. Although this is not a sponsored event we do have a private bartender and there are several food options available. The venue is in NuLu, within walking distance of both the Mariott and Hilton - and as a reminder, NuLu fest is taking place and is anticipating large numbers of people and the street to be shut down.
5:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Derby Best Attire Highly Encouraged
If you choose to join us for an evening at the races each admission ticket is offered to you at a rate of $50. The ticket will include admission to Churchill, a private event area - The Finish Line Balcony, and round-trip transportation from the AC hotel in NuLu. Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Cosgrove, Brady’s Parents, have graciously provided the food and open bar (beer and wine) for our evening at the races. You can make payment for your ticket in advance via Venmo at Lukas Palmer Churchill Experience or @dayattheraces924. Payments can also be made the day of in the form of cash or check. Seats are covered and will shield you from any elements, but a day at the track always includes a lot of standing so be sure to be wearing comfortable shoes. Ladies - we encourage you to grab a traditional Derby hat or fascinator paired with your favorite cocktail dress. Gentleman - business casual, jeans will not be permitted.
