Schedule

Arrival

4:45 pm - 5:00 pm

We want you to be comfortable. The dress code is semi-formal attire, balancing comfort and elegance. The events will be held indoors in an air-conditioned space so we suggest bringing a light jacket or sweater. Come in, make your way up to the second floor (steps only; no elevator available), mingle, and relax. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all take place at the same location.

There is no dedicated parking lot at DiAnoia’s Eatery. However, street parking is typically available nearby, and there is a parking garage down the street on 27th Street (between Spruce Way and Railroad Street) that may have spots available. For your convenience, we are providing a shuttle bus after taking pictures from Chatham University to DiAnoia’s Eatery.

Ceremony

5:10 pm - 5:30 pm

We may already be technically hitched by the big day-but who says we can't do it all over again for the photos (and the fun)? One of our amazing guests will lead a short and sweet ceremony so we can exchange rings, soak up the moment, and celebrate with all of you.
