FAQs

Question

What is the attire for the wedding and reception?

Answer

The attire is cocktail/semi-formal. Please dress to impress and no jeans, shorts, or sundresses. The bride will be in white and we highly recommend staying away from anything with white, ivory, and champagne in it as those are typically reserved for the bride. The wedding party will be in gray/silver.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to the ceremony. Remember it is Mile of Music this weekend so give yourself plenty of time to park and walk to the church. Anyone who arrives after the processional has begun will be asked to wait outside the ceremony room until it is over so you not disrupt.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We have hired an AMAZING team that does both photography and videography to capture our day. We ask that you please refrain from snapping pictures during the ceremony to enjoy the moment, allow all guests to have a good view, and allow our hired professionals to do their thing! Pictures are more than welcome after the ceremony. We can wait to share all that they capture with everyone after the ceremony.

Question

Do you have a hotel blocks?

Answer

Yes we do! We have reserved a hotel block at the Double Tree in Neenah located across the parking lot from venue. Please call or use the link below to reserve your hotel room. We do recommend booking the hotel sooner than later. The Mile of Music schedule was released, and it is the weekend of July 31st-August 3rd. Many Mile of Music fans stay in the Fox Valley area during this weekend, which could cause the hotel to fill up sooner than usual.
