1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Dress code: Semi-formal (ie. dress shirt/pants optional blazer for men; sophisticated cocktail dress for women); Keep in mind the ceremony is in a Catholic Church, so please try to wear "church appropriate attire".
The Ceremony starts at 1:00pm and will be approximately 1 hour long. If you have never been to a Catholic mass before, this is a perfect opportunity to meet someone new and sit next to someone who has. Lots of ups, downs, and reciting of prayers; Please do not feel pressured to participate. We just appreciate your presence. An itinerary of the ceremony and for the day will be provided at the entrance to the ceremony. Reception to follow at Hickory Hills Recreation Center, 4pm.
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Keep your wedding clothes on please, but now is the time to expose them shoulders.
There is approximately 2hrs of "free play" in-between the ceremony and the reception. Please take this time to go back to your hotel room/Airbnb to freshen up, or explore downtown Traverse City, and maybe get a bite to eat! Dealer's choice. Dinner will not be until 5:30-6pm, with light snacks at cocktail hour. So, if you are like me and need to eat every 2-3 hours like a child, then I would recommend getting a bite to eat. See the " Things to do" tab at the top for places in downtown TC to explore!
4:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Dress code: Semi-formal. Please keep your cute dresses and stylish button ups on; The weather can change on a dime and "DANG JACKIE, I can't control the weather!" So please look prior to arrival, a majority will be indoors, but we will dabble outside as well.
Cocktail hour will start around 4pm. Once the bridal party arrives there will be a shotgun start and then feel free to grab a drink, snack and mingle!

Wear whatever the heck you want. You could go naked for all we care.
We have a 20 person passenger bus to shuttle people from venue to downtown; Lyft and Uber are also available to try. It is about a 5-7 minute drive. Likely Brady's Bar.
