Question

What should I wear?

Answer

While our welcome party is a casual event, our wedding is a festive formal affair, and we are so excited to see our guests dressed to the nines with us! Ladies: evening gowns, nice cocktail dresses, or even a formal jumpsuit would be perfect! Gents: please wear a suit and tie. If you have any questions about attire, don't hesitate to ask one of us.

Question

Can I bring my child?

Answer

Unless your child is listed on your invitation, please leave your little ones at home. We love your kiddos, but you deserve a night off too! Please reach out to Emily or the Burton family if you would like a recommendation for a babysitter while you are in town.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

We will list clearly on your invitation if you can bring a guest. Due to limited space, we cannot accommodate guests that are not formally invited.

Question

What is the easiest way to get to and from the venue?

Answer

For those driving, the venue has a private parking lot for our guests. Otherwise, we strongly suggest using Uber or Lyft. For out of town guests: the venue is located nearby all our suggested hotels. It should not be more than a 5 minute drive to and from your hotel and the venue or welcome party.

Question

Where can I park at the venue?

Answer

We have a reserved private parking lot adjacent to our wedding venue for our guests. The lot is found at the end of the alleyway east of St. James. The alleyway can be entered at Michigan or Wisconsin and you'll be looking for a silver gated parking lot with parking signs with "Emily and Jake" on it.
