We also ask that you don't wear any overly bright or neon colors to keep the photos cohesive. And of course, don't wear white.

You are a cherished guest, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Your invitation will clearly indicate who is invited to join us. Plus ones are limited, but if you’ve been given one, your invitation will read "(Your Name) & Guest."
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
We totally understand wanting to capture this special day! However, we’ve invested in a professional photographer and videographer to ensure every moment is beautifully documented. During the ceremony, we kindly ask that you put away your phones and cameras and simply be present with us.
Question
Will any part of the wedding day be outdoors?
Answer
This wedding is in November in Michigan, so staying warm is key! Both the ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue for your convenience. Family & Bridal Party photos will take place just outside the front doors of the venue. We will also have an outdoor "bell ringing" directly after the ceremony right before cocktail hour. The ceremony will take place on the main level, followed by cocktail hour downstairs on the lower level. Afterward, we’ll return to the main level for the reception in a beautifully transformed ceremony space!
