Very important! The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 PM, and we ask that all guests arrive by 4:00 PM to allow time for parking and seating. In order to avoid disruptions during the ceremony, late arrivals may be asked to wait until a natural pause—or even until the ceremony concludes—before being seated. We truly appreciate your understanding and effort to be on time for this special moment.
The dress code is formal to semi-formal attire. Think suits, ties, and elegant dresses or jumpsuits. Please no white, green, gold, or sequins—we kindly ask that you save those for the bride and the wedding party. Dress to impress and come ready to celebrate in style!
The ceremony will be held at Jacob Henry Mansion in Joliet, IL on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at 4:30 PM. The cocktail hour and reception will follow on the same property. Please arrive early to allow time for parking and seating.
We love a good neutral moment—but for this day, we kindly ask guests to avoid white, ivory, champagne, and anything that might resemble the bride's look. Thanks for understanding.
We kindly ask guests to avoid sequins and glitter for this celebration. While we love a good shimmer, we're keeping things a bit more low-key in the sparkle department for this day. Thank you for understanding and helping us set the tone—we can’t wait to see you looking fabulous!
Yes! There is plenty of free parking available on-site at the Jacob Henry Mansion. There’s also street parking nearby if needed.

We truly wish we could invite everyone’s special someone. Due to venue capacity we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on your invitation.
