FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We would love for our guests to lean into the fall color scheme! Think warm neutral or deep jewel tones, and feel free to mix in patterns. You can get as dressed up as you want, but cocktail to formal wear is preferred.

Question

Is this event outdoors or indoors?

Answer

Both! The ceremony will be outside in the Cowles Pavilion at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, and the reception will be inside at Surly brewing. There is also a small, private patio for our guests to enjoy at Surly if you want to take another step outside. It is fall in Minnesota, so the weather will be hard to predict. It could be 40 degrees, it could be 70 degrees. Be prepared with a sweater, blanket, jacket or a layer in case it is chilly during the ceremony!

Question

Can I bring a +1?

Answer

We have always envisioned having a very small and intimate wedding of close guests. If you have a plus one, it will be indicated on your RSVP. However, if you are in a relationship and we accidentally forgot to include your partner on the RSVP, please reach out!

Question

Can we bring our child?

Answer

We want our guests with children to be able to fully enjoy our wedding! The reception is also at a brewery, which is not a super child-friendly environment. However, if your child is two years of age or younger, and you want or need to bring them, you can!

Question

Should I get you a gift for your wedding?

Answer

We have pretty much everything we need, and we really don't want to fill our little apartment with a bunch of things we don't need! So if you desire to get us a gift for a wedding, we would love for you to get us "experiences". There are some ideas on our registry page, or if you know the kinds of things we would enjoy, you can get us an experience of your own choosing, or you can simply contribute to our "experience fund" and we will use it for fun date nights or things to do together in our first year of marriage.

Question

Will there be anything besides beer at Surly?

Answer

Due to laws in Minnesota, Surly can only serve alcohol that they make in-house, which is, in fact, beer! Breweries are a huge part of Anthony and I's story, so while we understand not everyone loves beer as much as we do, we hope you can find something on their menu that you like. For those who really dislike the taste of beer, we recommend the sour for fruity-seltzer lovers, the Pentagram for red-wine lovers, or the "rose" beer for a wine-reminscent take. At this private event, Surly will offer two seasonal "beer" cocktails that do not taste like beer at all. Our bartenders can provide you with more information on these. There will also be non-alcoholic options available, like soda and lemonade.
