We are saddened to see that the pandemic threats are increasing once again, and it will unfortunately change some aspects of our day. Due to the current mask mandate in Illinois, masks will be required for all guests at our church ceremony. Please bring one with you. If you plan to explore Champaign County during the day, you will likely need to wear a mask. Masks will be optional at the reception due to the frequent eating and drinking planned for the night. If you are not comfortable attending the reception because of this, we completely understand - you can change your RSVP decision at any point, and you may do so directly on the RSVP tab on our website. Additionally, if you would like to request special seating arrangements due to the risks of COVID-19, then please reach out to Alyssa or Zachary directly. Both the bride and groom have been vaccinated in preparation for our big day.
Cocktail attire is recommended (dresses, slacks/shirt). Please do not wear jeans just because our wedding is in a barn (it's a nice barn- we promise!). We ask that you avoid wearing traditional wedding colors such as white and ivory and avoid deep rose, as this is the color the wedding party will be wearing. The reception venue is appropriately heated/cooled based on the weather that day.
A dinner buffet will be provided, and guests will be served dinner at approximately 6:30pm. An open bar tab will be available for beer and wine at the reception. The couple has requested Riggs keg beer, seltzers galore, red and white wines, and your trusty domestic bottles, too (there's literally an option for everyone!). Liquor will be available, but must be paid for with cash or card. Hudson Farms has a strict no outside alcohol policy, and we ask that you respect this.
Yes! There is a designated parking lot for guests at Hudson Farms. However, we strongly suggest using the shuttle service provided along with your hotel stay at Comfort Suites or Eastland Suites. The shuttle is only available to guests staying at the hotels.
