6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
Welcome to Des Moines and the start of our wedding weekend! We'd love to invite our friends and family who are in town to join us for a casual welcome gathering at Des Moines Biergarten in Water Works Park. Come spend the evening visiting, catching up, and celebrating before the big day. The Biergarten offers local and German brews, along with German-inspired street food, including hot dogs and giant pretzels. We do not have a private area reserved, so feel free to stop by anytime, grab a drink or a bite to eat, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere with us.
4:00 pm - 11:30 pm
This event is dressy casual. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Ceremony begins at 4:00 PM sharp — please arrive by 3:30 PM to allow time for seating. Please be seated by 3:50PM. Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors, so feel free to bring a light layer if you tend to get chilly. Cocktail hour will take place from 5:00–6:00 PM. Guests are kindly asked to be seated by 6:00 PM for dinner.
