An important note.

Out of love and care for the Mother of the Groom, please refrain from wearing any scented products to all wedding events for the weekend. Thank you in advance!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

This event is a Semi-Formal event. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. We invite you to dress in florals and summer colors to match our palate.

Question

Can I bring additional guests?

Answer

In order to create an intimate evening with our closest family and friends, only the guests listed on the invitation are permitted to attend. We thank you in advance for your understanding.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

There are multiple hotels nearby our venue and a short drive away in downtown Cincinnati. Please see our "Travel" tab to view the hotels we recommend. We will not be using a hotel block to keep costs low for all guests needing accommodations.

Question

Is there parking on site?

Answer

Yes! There is parking all around The Josephina with overflow parking in the lot to the right of the entrance. We ask guests with tall SUV's or trucks to park in front of the venue or in overflow parking to avoid being seen in photographs. There will be no transportation provided to and from the ceremony to the hotel.

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Our wedding will be a dry event with no alcohol served. We will have a variety of non-alcoholic beverages available.
