FAQs
Question
Where is the ceremony and reception being held?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will be held at Riverside Reception in Geneva, IL. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be just outside the venue in their brick-paved courtyard, and the reception will be held on their upper level. For those with mobility restrictions, an elevator is available to access the upper level. The venue's address is: 35 N. River Ln. Geneva, IL 60134
Question
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 PM. Please allow enough time for parking and locating your seat. As our ceremony will take place in the courtyard outside the venue entrance, if you were to arrive late, you would walk right into the ceremony. We want to make sure everyone is settled in before we say "I Do."
Question
Am I allowed to take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This means we are asking for all phones and devices to be turned off and put away during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer and videographer to capture this moment for all of us. After the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many photos as you want! #2HeartsBecomeHartmans
