Yes! There will be lovely men at the church to assist with parking. We ask that you are mindful and respectful of the gravestones at the church and follow the parking assistance's guidance.
Yes, but not great options. The church is very old and does not having plumbing (ironic, right?) There is a portapotty that will be available, but we advise using the potty before you arrive or stopping at the Sunoco up the street before you come!
The Messick's have graciously offered to host our reception at their beautiful spot on the Corsica River. This is about an hour drive from the church, so we are allowing lots of time between the end of the ceremony and the start of "Sip and Social" (extended cocktail hour). Take your time and enjoy the beautiful church! The address will take you right to the house. When coming up the driveway, you will stay to the left when the driveway splits, it will be clearly marked. Don't worry, you're not lost!
If you know Jason and I, we don't dress up very often. Obviously this is a special occasion for us, but it doesn't have to be for you! We are allll about being comfortable! The occasion will be dressy but not formal. We are thinking ‘garden cocktail tea dresses’, khakis and buttons ups for the guys (you do not have to wear a tie!!) The church is open air and the reception will be outside, so plan accordingly for the weather in late September. (Note: there will be a pool and river, so do with that information what you will.)
The ceremony will begin around 1pm, please come around 12:30pm with your singing voices! Between the pump organ and Jason's singing, it will be a worship celebration for this gift the Lord has given us! We will be having our "send off" from the church following the ceremony. You all exit out the back of the church, grab and bell, and line the sides of the brick walk. Once everyone is lined up, we will walk the path surrounded by our most loved family and friends down to our "something blue" (his truck), where we will depart and meet you at the river!
If you have any other questions about the wedding, you can find Jason and I this summer on the boat... we may or may not have cell service so grab your suit and meet us out there! ...but you can try to text Hayley at (302) 272-3575
We are so so blessed to have so many people who we love deeply, it was hard to put it all together onto one guest list. All invitations are addressed to the parties invited, and it matches the website when you type your name in to RSVP. We can not wait to celebrate with you!
There are some hotel options in Middletown, DE, some beautiful Airbnb options in Odessa, DE and Chestertown/ Centreville areas, and hotel options in the Kent Narrows area. (Fun fact, Hayley interned on the construction of the Hyatt Place Kent Narrows & Marina during college.) We were not able to block any rooms at any hotels.
