The wedding ceremony will be outside, weather permitting. The cocktail hour and reception will be inside the barn located on the same property.
Generally, in October, the temperature in Michigan is between 42°F and 63°F. Sweaters and pants are typically appropriate for this time of year. Michigan is known for its cold weather; because snow/rain could be a factor, we recommend layers. Keep an eye out on the forecast as we get closer to the wedding weekend.
We do not have a hotel block. We realized that guests could get better prices on hotels by searching the discount sites and planning ahead of time. Check out the "Travel" tab to learn more about accommodation options in the area.
Yes, of course! We know a lot of people are coming from out of town, so if mailing your gift to us personally would make things easier for you, that is completely fine. If you require our address information, it is already preloaded on our registry for your convenience.
After the ceremony, the bride and groom will be taking pictures together and with their families. Those not taking pictures will move to the area near the barn entrance for the cocktail hour and are free to mingle. Afterwards, all the guests will move inside for the wedding reception.
Our wedding colors are navy and vibrant earth tones (e.g., mustard, rust, burgundy, emerald, etc.). You are welcome to incorporate these colors in your attire, but are certainly not expected to.
Unfortunately, our budget limits the number of people we can host at the wedding. As much as we would love to have *everyone* we know and love celebrate with us, it's just not possible. Your invitation will tell you if you can bring a date.
