The Wedding Website of Em Balkan and Gabby Porcaro
Question

What will the reception look like?

Answer

The Guild Brewery and the Barn are ADA accessible. At 6PM the cocktail portion of the party will begin. The cocktail party will be in full swing from 6-8PM. Then, starting at 8PM, there will be a BIG dance party + dinner food stations. The dinner will be available for an hour, and everyone is welcome to get food as they'd like. Starting at 8PM, dancing will be uninterrupted for the remainder of the evening until dessert time. We encourage dancing all night! At the end of the party there will be cake and other desserts, as well as late-night snacks. We will have an open bar with select beers & wines, vodka- & tequila-based cocktails, and a signature cocktail and mocktail. There will also be soft drinks and non-alcoholic beer.

Question

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

Answer

Seeing as Em themself has many dietary restrictions, you've come to the right wedding! The cocktail party, dinner stations, and desserts and late-night snacks will all include vegan and gluten free options (including a dinner option that is GF and vegan AND has a protein! No plain grilled eggplant for the vegans, here). Our desserts will be 100% vegan and delicious thanks to Wildflour Bakery. No, you won't be able to tell it's vegan. If you have any other restrictions or questions, please let us know!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes. There will be one bus from The Graduate to the venue at 5:30PM. There will be one bus from the venue back to the Graduate at 11PM.
