FAQs

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Answer

The sooner the better! We ask that you please RSVP by Saturday, May 16th at the latest so that we are able to give our reception venue a final headcount. To RSVP, please click the "RSVP" tab and follow the prompted instructions. Even if you are unable to attend (we'll miss you!), we ask that you please still RSVP so that our guest count is as accurate as possible. Thank you!

Question

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Answer

Think elevated garden party vibes! We kindly ask guests to wear formal cocktail attire — long dresses or chic midi dresses are perfect for the occasion. Suits of any kind are welcome for men, including linen suits for a lighter, summery feel. Please note: The groomsmen will be in tuxedos, so feel free to dress up!

Question

WHERE DO I STAY?

Answer

We'll be staying at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, conveniently located right next to the venue. We've reserved a block of rooms at a discounted rate for our guests. To book, just use the link under the 'Travel' tab or mention the Dunbar-Butzer Wedding when calling (Code G-DUBU). Room block rates are available until May 12, 2026. Please note: There are other wedding parties staying at this hotel the same weekend, so we recommend booking as soon as possible! This hotel is within walking distance to the venue and is also where we’ll be staying. If you have any questions or need help with your reservation, feel free to reach out to Michael or Kaitlin — we're happy to help!

What’s the weather typically like that time of year?
