FAQs
Question
Where is the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will be held at St. Francis Catholic Church in Teutopolis, IL. The ceremony will start at 1PM. Please arrive by 12:45 to ensure you are not arriving while the bridal party is lining up. We are so excited to merge our two families together so please, "choose a seat and not a side." We also kindly ask that guests let our photographer work her magic and keep our ceremony a phone/camera free zone. We will be receiving rights to all of our wedding pictures and are happy to post them on social media for others to have access to.
Question
Where is the reception?
Answer
The reception will be held at Thelma Keller Convention Center in Effingham, IL. The doors will open at 4:30PM for cocktail hour and dinner will be served at 5:30PM. Please find your name card with your selected meal option and find your table.
Question
What should I do between the ceremony and reception?
Answer
The wedding party will do some bar hopping in-between taking photos after the ceremony. We would love for guests that are able, to join along in the bar hopping fun. We will likely begin our journey after pictures at the church by starting at Brickbat Tavern in Teutopolis (directly across the street from the church). After Brickbat the bridal party will go to an outdoor picture location to finish up photos and end at Orchard Inn in Effingham prior to the reception. If this isn't your scene, please feel free to use this opportunity to check into your hotel and relax before the evening festivities.
Question
Are my children invited?
Answer
As much as we love your children we also want you to have the night off. Please respect our wishes of an adults only reception (with the exception of the bride and groom's nieces and nephews). If you have questions or concerns please contact Kristie or Dan directly.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
If your invitation is addressed with "and Guest" please feel free to bring a plus one! Our only request is that when you RSVP you give the name of your plus one so we can accurately print off their table card.
Question
Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food options?
Answer
Yes! Please let Dan or Kristie know when you RSVP that you have a special dietary request. We will work with our caterer to accommodate as best as we can. We want to make sure all our guests are taken care of. If you have any food allergies please also let us know. We know several individuals who will be present have nut allergies and our food will be nut free.
