We have decided to have a very intimate wedding that allows us to get married on our same date of July 24th, 2020. We have been talking about potential options for hosting a casual celebration sometime next summer, but no final decisions have been made yet. We will update you on this through the website and email as we solidify plans.
Our hope is to live stream our ceremony for guests who are unable to attend in person due to the pandemic restrictions, but we are still working on the logistics of this option. We will, however, have a video recording of the ceremony to also watch at a later date. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
We are currently discussing virtual shower and small in-person shower options for our family members and friends to attend. Any showers will likely be planned for late June into early-mid July. We will update you on the website and through email as plans are solidified. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
All gifts and cards can be sent to Kayla's family's house: 14583 Crane St. NW Andover, MN 55304. Thank you!
The venue has numerous touch-free hand sanitizers and we will be taking social distancing recommendations into account with our seating. You are not required to wear a mask and we expect most of our guests will not be wearing one, but if you would prefer to wear one, please bring your own.
Our ceremony and reception will now be indoors at our new venue, Cornerstone Studios in Northeast Minneapolis. (Three cheers for A/C in July!)
After the ceremony, the bridal party and immediate families will be taking pictures nearby for around 15-20 minutes before Evan and Kayla take their first portraits as husband and wife. Guests can stay in the venue where we will be serving small appetizers and drinks. Grab a seat at one of the booths or couches as our vendor team turns the ceremony space into our reception before dinner is served.
We only ask for you to put phones and cameras away during our ceremony. That way, you can be fully present in the moment with us. You may freely take photos at the reception and any other wedding events. Also, you can use the wedding hashtag #GonnaGetMitched on your Instagram photos and any other social media posts. We're so excited to see your photos!
There is ample free parking right outside the venue. We recommend parking in the neighborhood streets that are within a block from the venue instead of in front of the venue since there are hourly restrictions. (Plus, we'll keep the road mostly clear for photo opportunities, too!) We do, however, highly suggest planning for an Uber or Lyft ride home if you will be drinking at our wedding. We want to ensure everyone has a great but safe time!
We do not have a block of hotel rooms booked, but we encourage you to look at the Travel tab in this website for more information. We include hotel recommendations that are close to the venue along with suggestions for alternative accommodations like Airbnb, one of our favorite ways to travel!
To ensure that Kayla and Evan are able to stay present during the wedding, we'd like for you to ask our wedding day-of coordinator Kristen and assistant (and close friend!) Akua any questions you may have on the day of the wedding. If they can be answered before the wedding, we ask you to email Kayla and Evan at kaylaevanmitchell@gmail.com for peace-of-mind.
We're happy to answer any questions you may have about our wedding. Please contact Kayla or Evan at kaylaevanmitchell@gmail.com and we will get back to you quickly.
