Formal / Cocktail Attire. Our wedding colors include burgundy, terracotta, and sage, so feel free to embrace fall tones if you’d like. October evenings in Minnesota can be cool, so bringing a light jacket or wrap is recommended.
Complimentary charter bus transportation will be available from the Hampton Inn, Eden Prairie (1825 Technology Drive, Eden Prairie, MN 55344) to the wedding venue and back. Service will run from 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM. Otherwise, the venue is about 25 minutes outside of Minneapolis. You may use Uber, Lyft, or personal transportation.
Yes, complimentary parking is available at Bavaria Downs. After turning off Bavaria Road, follow the driveway until you reach the first available left toward the white building. Look for the couple’s names and the brown ‘Equestria West: Event Parking’ sign, then turn right toward the designated parking lot. Guests may use the circle drive at the front of the venue for drop-offs, including handicap-accessible parking spaces for those in need. A helpful tip while navigating the property is to follow all of the brown directional signage!
If a plus one is included, it will be listed on your invitation.
Please refer to your invitation for details regarding children.
October in Minnesota is beautiful but can be chilly. Average temperatures range from 45–60°F, so layering is recommended.
Yes! During dancing, guests may place bills on the bride and groom as a way of celebrating, blessing, and wishing prosperity to the couple.

Participation is completely optional—your presence alone means so much to us.
