The ceremony will be inside the restaurant on the main floor. Guests will be seated at tables. No assigned seats - this isn't grade school :) We will start promptly at 9:30am. (maybe it is grade school) The space will be ready for guests by just after 9:00am.

After the ceremony, we will have cocktails, coffee and pastries available at the rooftop lounge while the brunch is set up. The space is incredible so if weather permits - we encourage you to check it out!

1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
After the reception, we will be heading to New Holland Brewing, The Knickerbocker to continue celebrating. We have reserved space for the whole crew from 1:00 - 5:00pm but feel free to come and go as you please. There will be a cash bar and we will have appetizer -ish snacks around 3:00pm. The Knickerbocker is a huge brew pub with a lot to explore (the beer garden is a must if weather permits) so no formal seating or anything - just a great space to hang. It is also located in Grand Rapids West side - a great area to explore with breweries, restaurants, hole in the wall bars, etc. all within walking distance. This is about a 5 minute uber/lyft from New Hotel Mertens. Please let us know if you plan to join us for this part of our day so we can give New Holland numbers for food.
