7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
We have reserved a covered area of MetroBar’s patio to see you all before the big day! Come by and have a drink with us, catch up with old friends, and explore the decommissioned metro train. MetroBar has a covered patio area that we'll be hanging out in, so this event is rain or shine. Important details: please note that the bar is 21+ after 8pm. Children are welcome to join, but will need to enter before 8 PM. Also, when you arrive, please start a tab using the QR menus on the tables - you can order further drinks at the bar, but using the QR code allows you to be counted towards our food and beverage minimum!
5:00 pm - 5:30 pm
This event is garden formal. Floor length and cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, jackets, and suits are welcome. Summer colors and florals also appropriate. The weather may be warm, so please dress for comfort, although there will be air conditioned spaces. Please note that the ceremony will be on grass, so wear block heels or flats.
Lincoln's Cottage requires all (adult) guests to bring a photo ID - a guard at the gate will check the ID against our guest list before letting you in. Please keep this in mind and leave adequate time to check in, park (if you're driving), and get to our ceremony! The ceremony is on the South Lawn of the Cottage (right hand side as you're walking in) - if you're walking in, feel free to walk right up! Bathrooms can be found in the visitors' center, which is the first building on the left as you enter the grounds. Free parking is available at the venue. When you arrive, the gate attendant will direct you to parking as well, but it is off to the left, past the visitors' center and the Cottage.
5:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Cocktail hour will begin at 5:30pm and the reception will begin at 6:45pm. We'll be serving light appetizers with cocktails and then a buffet dinner at the reception! Please let us know below if you have dietary restrictions so we can make sure there's food for you.
