The Lore
Question
Where is the ceremony and reception?
Answer
Belle Isle, with its own kind of magic, is the setting for both the ceremony and the reception. The Flynn Pavilion will be our home for the night, surrounded by water and light, where the city feels far away yet still glows across the river. It’s a space for laughter, music, and stories shared as the evening unfolds. Once you arrive, you can settle in and stay through it all.
Question
Do I need a park pass to get in?
Answer
Yes. A Michigan Recreation Passport is required for any vehicle entering Belle Isle Park. If your car is registered in Michigan, check your license tab. You may already have one. Otherwise, passes can be purchased at the park entrance upon arrival.
Question
Is there parking?
Answer
Parking is available directly beside the Flynn Pavilion. There’s a dedicated lot for guests, making it easy to arrive, park, and join the celebration.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
At three, the evening begins with cocktails and conversation. At four, vows are spoken, and the celebration truly begins. Arrive a little early to take in the calm of the island before everything begins.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Cocktail attire. Velvet, lace, shimmer, or whatever feels right under the glow of the evening. Beyond that, our only rule is simple: feel comfortable and don’t be naked.
Question
When should I RSVP?
Answer

Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer

Question
Will there be food options for my diet?
