Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes, our wedding will be black tie optional. Formal attire is encouraged—tuxedos or dark suits for men and floor-length gowns or cocktail dresses for women. We want everyone to feel their best and enjoy a beautiful evening with us.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
When should I arrive, and is there anything I should know before entering? We recommend arriving 15 to 30 minutes before the music begins to allow time for parking, walking to the venue, and getting settled. Traffic in downtown Columbus can be unpredictable, so plan accordingly. Please note: the Ohio Statehouse has security screening. All guests will pass through a metal detector, and weapons of any kind are not permitted. This includes items like pocket knives or mace. If you bring them, you will not be allowed to enter. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you enjoy a relaxing night out with us. Thank you for understanding!

Yes! Complimentary parking will be available all weekend beneath the Ohio Statehouse, just a short walk from the hotels. If you’re staying nearby, many of the hotels also offer valet parking.
