Shimamoto Mendel Wedding

4:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Cocktail to semi-formal attire encouraged! We’d love to see the room glowing in shades of purple (our favorite) or soft pastels. Our palette includes lilac, but if you’re invited we consider you family 💜 so any shade is welcome! Most important rule? Wear something you feel amazing in and can dance all night long 🕺💃 One small note: our ceremony will be held on grass, so we recommend avoiding narrow stilettos or pointy heels.

Guests are welcome to arrive at the venue starting at 4:30 PM, with welcome drinks available before the ceremony begins at 5:00 PM. The ceremony will be outside with fans available for guests, then following the reception will be inside. Dinner and drinks are included during the reception. Music will wrap up at 9:30, but the night doesn’t have to end there! For those who want to keep the party going, shuttles will be available to The Mendel’s Happily Ever Afters: an EDM after party with high-energy vibes and a late-night dance floor 🪩✨ Please be sure to RSVP whether you plan to attend the after party so we can account for transportation. We have some questions below to help us start locking in ideas for the big day!

The Mendel’s Happily Ever Afters

Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 10:15 pm - Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 2:00 am

Come as you are from the wedding! Most guests will still be in their wedding attire, but feel free to swap into a more relaxed outfit or comfortable shoes before the after party (especially shoes ladies!), we’ll be celebrating late! If you’re joining just for the afters, lean into the vibe: disco balls, pops of purple, and anything fun and dance-floor ready are welcome!

The party doesn’t stop after the reception! Join us for an EDM after party with DJs, lights, and a full dance floor. Expect a high-energy atmosphere, surprise guest performances, and plenty of moments you won’t want to miss! 💃🕺🪩
