Question

Outdoor Venue

Answer

We are planning an entirely outdoor wedding for the ceremony and reception. The venue has an indoor area with restrooms and a lobby with couches. Dinner will be outside under a covered pavilion, and we will provide space heaters. As weather in Michigan at the end of May can be unpredictable, we recommend bringing a jacket in case it is cold.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail attire including dresses & dressy jumpsuits for the women & suit or slacks with tie and sport coat for the gentlemen. Bring along a jacket or layers as it is an outdoor wedding for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing.

Question

What if it rains?

Answer

In the instance of rain, we will still have everything on-site at Saugatuck Center for the Arts. The ceremony, cocktail hour and dancing will be moved indoors. Dinner will still take place outside under their covered pavilion.

Stay wherever you like! We recommend staying in downtown Saugatuck walking distance to the venue.

Question

Covid-19

Answer

To help alleviate the risks for our guests due to Covid-19, we have chosen an outdoor venue where the ceremony and reception will all be held. In the instance of rain, the ceremony, cocktail hour and dancing will be moved indoors, and dinner will still be served outside under a covered pavilion. Guests will not be required to wear a mask.
