We’re so excited to celebrate with the people closest to us! If you’ve been given a plus one, you’ll see their name (or “and guest”) on your invitation.
We love your little ones, and we can’t wait to celebrate with a dance floor full of joy! That said, we’re only inviting a few kids (mostly close family). If your children are included, their names will be on your invitation. If not, we hope you enjoy a well-deserved grown-up night of fun!
We kindly ask that guests wear all black attire. You can wear anything that makes you feel your absolute best — a black dress, black pants and a top, a jumpsuit, a full suit, or even a black polo with black pants. Dress it up or keep it simple, the goal is for you to feel confident, comfortable, and ready to celebrate! Do I have to be super formal? Not at all! This is not a black-tie event unless you want it to be. Just come in an all-black look that fits your personal style. Why all black? We love the timeless, chic look of an all-black celebration, and it will make the photos and dance floor look incredible.
There are plenty of great options nearby, whether you prefer a hotel or something a little more homey: 1. Cobblestone Inn – Monticello, IA (12 miles away) A convenient spot, and we’ll have a shuttle running to and from the venue every hour for your ease! 2. Comfort Inn – Dyersville, IA (15 miles away) A cozy and simple option not far from the celebration. 3. Dubuque, IA (25–30 miles away) A bit farther, but with plenty of hotel choices and fun spots to explore if you’re turning this into a weekend trip! 4. Airbnb & VRBO: There are also great vacation rentals available in Cascade, and nearby towns like Monticello, Dyersville, Dubuque, and Peosta. These can be perfect for groups, families, or anyone looking for a little extra space
The ceremony will begin at 1:30 PM and will be a full Catholic Mass—so expect it to last about an hour. Our cocktail hour kicks off at 4:30 PM, giving you some time in between to relax and recharge! You’re welcome to use that time to check into your hotel, freshen up, or explore a bit. If you're staying local, we recommend stopping by The Corner Taproom in town for a drink or snack—it's a great little spot to hang out before the celebration continues!
