Both the ceremony and reception will be at Boulder Flatts in Grand Island
Using google maps or Apple maps, just type in "Boulder Flatts Grand Island" and it pops right up and takes you directly to the venue.
Our ceremony will be child free. There is a lounge in the upstairs of the venue with a TV, if you trust your kids to be alone for 30 minutes, where they can hang out there or if you would like this to be a night out for you and your S/O feel free to do so! All kids are more than welcome to the reception!
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up with us! We are requesting a semi-formal dress code for our wedding. Those of you invited to the ceremony, men we ask to please wear slacks or black denim, avoid blue denim if you can, we understand not wanting to go buy a new pair of pants for one day, and please refrain from wearing plaid. Immediate family will have specific colors to wear. Everyone else invited to the reception may wear what ever is comfortable and appropriate. Attire cards will be sent with invites to help you better understand what we would like. Please do not feel like you have to go buy a new outfit for the day, the cards are just suggestions!
Those receiving an invitation to the ceremony, please arrive at 2:30 or 2:40 pm as we will have guests start finding their seats at 2:50. The ceremony will start at 3:00 tentatively, so if you will be late, we ask that you watch from inside the venue and please do not interrupt. Those receiving an invitation for the reception, please feel free to come at 3:30 for cocktails while family is doing photos after the ceremony!
No, this is a cellphone and camera free wedding, we have paid for a great photographer who will ask for you to put your phone away if she sees it out during the ceremony.
Because we want our wedding to be intimate we ask that family only be in photos that are taken after the ceremony before the reception. If your invitation says "+ Guest" your guest should assume that they will not be in family photos unless otherwise told. There will be many opportunities for photos during the reception with friends and extended family.
We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests as our caterer already has a specific number to provide food for. Your invitation will be made out to "Your name" + Guest if a plus one has been given to you.
