Marriage is about combining two separate lives into one, without losing our individuality. We want our names to reflect that we have chosen to be equal partners in everything. Therefore, after the wedding ceremony, our names will be Brandon Meseure-Hatfield and Natalie Hatfield-Meseure. We know this isn't the most traditional choice but it's important to us that we start our marriage by honoring the families we were born into.
Please RSVP by May 1st. You can RSVP directly on this site, just click on the "RSVP" tab at the top!
We love your kids—we really do. But since we're getting married at a vineyard, we'd love for you to be able to enjoy a stress-free night off to celebrate with us! However, we know that many of you are coming from out of town so finding someone to care for the little ones might not be feasible, in which case, the more the merrier!
Yes, free parking is available on site at the Bodega Victoriana!
We are not currently planning to hire a shuttle service since not everyone will want to leave at the same time. We are assuming the majority of our guests will either drive their own cars or be renting a car for the weekend. If you're concerned about transportation, please reach out to us and we can connect you with other friends to share Uber/Lyft rides with or we'll figure out alternatives as necessary!
There's no "dress code" but a general rule of thumb would be semi-formal/cocktail attire. The ceremony will be held outdoors while the reception is indoors so attire might be dependent on what temperature the Midwest decides to be on the day.
The average temperature for the end of May is warm (approximately 70°F). Afternoons might be warmer (80°F-ish) while overnight temperatures are generally milder (in the range of 60°F). Most days are sunny but rain is a possibility.
Bodega Victoriana Winery is open to the public until 5pm so we'd recommend arriving between 5-5:15pm so you have time to take in the beauty of the venue before the ceremony starts at 5:30pm.
Yes! We have a block of rooms at three different hotels with a variety of prices and amenities (for example, Microtel is the only pet-friendly hotel on our list). Please check the "Information" tab above for more details!
Yes! The venue has a elevator to get from the main floor to the reception hall.
Since our venue is a vineyard, wine will most definitely be served! La Bodega Victoriana has a variety of fabulous Spanish-style wines including sweet and dry types of white, red, and blush wines as well as sangria and a small selection of beer. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available. Dinner will include salad, bread, pasta bar, and dessert.
We are hiring a fabulous wedding photographer so we would like you to be fully present with us during an "unplugged" ceremony. But after the ceremony, we welcome you to take photos and share them (as long as they're not too terribly embarrassing!)
We set up a designated email address for anything and everything wedding-related. Please feel free to contact us at hatfieldmeseure@gmail.com and we'll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.
