Yes — Indiana Dunes National Park requires a $25 per car entrance fee. This is separate from our wedding and goes directly to support the park. You can pay at the visitor center and is good for 7 days. Standard park passes can also be purchased online ahead of time through Recreation.gov. We recommend carpooling if possible.
Since our ceremony is on the beach, the National Park Service does not allow chairs in the sand as part of our permit. Instead, they suggest bringing a small blanket if you’d like something to sit on —adding a cozy feel. The ceremony will be short and sweet, so standing is perfectly fine too!
Semi-formal | Cocktail Attire | Sand-friendly Shoes are optional on the sand, and we’d love to see touches of autumn — think burgundy, rust orange, nudes, and earthy browns. This is just a suggestion we want you to wear whatever you feel most confident in.
Absolutely — please don’t hesitate to reach out to us as soon as possible. We want to make sure you feel comfortable and cared for, and we’ll ensure there are options available for you. That’s exactly the intention behind keeping our celebration small and personal.
To keep our day truly personal and intimate, we’re only able to accommodate the guests named on the invitation. Thank you for understanding and celebrating with us in this special way.
To create a relaxed and intimate setting, our celebration will be adults-only. We so appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to raise a glass with you!
